Thank you for your e-mail. As of right now, I am unsure whether the preview will include the HD channel or not. I have sent an e-mail to our marketing division to retrieve this answer for you.

Thank you for your e-mail,

Good grief, sorry about that skaggs , I happen to run into an advertisement on the TW website with the news. I posted it here in the general board and in HDTV programs board.

[Skaggs]

Channel 757 is Showtime HD, which is also shown on 1875.

Since Channel 757 is between 741-764, which TWC states on their website will be included in the FREE preview, I would have to say the HD channel is included.

Still no word from TWC in response to my email above.
