You should check out the TWCNYC thread in the local HDTV programming forum. As for your question, here's an email from the head of programming for TWC New York and NJ (and no one knows when in 2004 they will add more bandwidth):

We hope to carry as much HD programming as our resources allow, and
recently added Discovery HD. Time Warner Cable has agreements allowing
it to distribute INHD 1 & 2 and HD Net and HD Movies, however in our NYC
area systems we are currently out of available bandwidth to carry these
services. We expect to resolve our bandwidth issues next year and plan
to add the services when the bandwidth becomes available. Time Warner
Cable's corporate programming department is also negotiating with ESPN
to for rights to carry ESPNHD. Which we ultimately plan to add.
In the interim, I hope you are happy with the HD service you are
receiving at no additional charge, including local broadcasters such as
ABC, NBC, CBS and channel 13 in HD and the digital feeds from Fox, WNJN
and Kids Thirteen.
Thanks for your feedback.
Happy Holidays,
Bob Watson
