TIME WARNER CABLE TO GO

For some customers, Time Warner Cable has switched to an all-digital cable system; they will continue this upgrade through November 18. Customers with set-top boxes, digital adapters or retail CableCARDs will not have service interrupted. Anyone without these devices should contact Time Warner. The most noticeable change will be the new channel lineup. The set-top box will now automatically select HD if it's the highest quality channel being delivered.
