Cable One, a mid-size cable company serving about 700,000 customers around the country, is in negotiations to distribute the HD feeds of a number of networks with plans to group them into a high-def tier similar to ones offered by Time Warner Cable, Charter, Bright House and others. On tap are A&E HD, Discovery HD Theater, Food Network HD, HGTV HD and National Geographic Channel HD. The cabler already offers various local broadcast channels in high-def, as well as ESPN HD, HBO HD, Showtime HD, TNT HD and Universal HD.
