Time Warner Cable Dropping the HD Ball in L.A.

The L.A. Times runs a piece this morning highlighting Time Warner Cable's slow upgrade of their Los Angeles cable plant for HD. The TWC system in L.A. is one of the nation's largest and was cobbled together blending networks previously owned by Adelphia, Comcast and TWC. That process began two years ago but the upgrades have been laborious, meaning that TWC customers in L.A. only get 16 high-def channels, compared to 25-50 in other Time Warner Cable systems throughout the country. 

When you consider that there are 1.5 million HDTV households in the Los Angeles-area, this is no minor issue to a lot of people.

This story crushed me and sent me crying into my room. If LA can't get more 16 HD channels from TWC then how am i suppose to ever get more then the seven i get now from them in southeast alabama. I guess move. Which i am sure the army will help me with.....then again do they get HD in iraq or afghanistan :)
