I recently bought a high-def 1080 resolution tv.  Thing is - I currently have digital, non-HD BASIC service for $16 a month.  I'm expecting that I'll have to change my subscription, and pay towards $60 a month, to get the HD programming.  I have TimeWarner for my cable provider.  My town recently got outfitted with Verizon's FioS.  I could probably also go with DirecTV, or Dish Network.  I'm thinking of seeing which provider has the better "package" - tv, internet and phone.  Any suggestions / recommendations out there?
Oops - I have Comcast, NOT Time Warner!  Wow - many web-sites are poorly designed...  I'll have to call 800-numbers and/or Chat to get answers to my questions.  Dish Network looks like the early leader.

Go with Fios, it has the best signal, and the most HD channels. I currently have comcast and I can't wait until my area is able to get Fios, as soon as that happens I am switching.

You can stick with "Basic" cable - but get 5-10 HD channels even from Time Warner.

I got a HD-DVR, "Basic cable" which included 7 local stations for $24/month.

Dont let them up-sell you - just tell them you want basic service, but include the local HD channels.

The cool part about TimeWarner - no contracts. Many of the others require a 2 year commitment. 

Also - type your address into www.antennaweb.org and see what over-the-air antenna stations are around your home.   You may be able to get away with a indoor antenna so a $24 investment in a "Phillips Silver Sensor - Classic" antenna may give you free HD channels.
