The channel, a high-def simulcast of the standard TMC, was added on June 14 as part of a realignment of Time Warner's HD lineup there.
TMC HD is now channel 778 on Time Warner Cable in Staten Island.
There is no word that Time Warner has added TMC HD to any other market. The cable operator has a policy of negotiating the rights to carry a channel and then allowing the local system to decide if and when to add it.
A random check this morning of several Time Warner Cable lineups across the country did not show TMC HD being available besides in Staten Island.
The Movie Channel HD, a sister network of Showtime, this month is playing such movies as Four Brothers, Bad News Bears (2005) and Happy Endings.
