Joe S, how do you really feel? :-)

With TimeWarner (in my city anyway), the upgrade to an HD box costs nothing (compared to a "digital" box)--but they do visit your house to make sure you really have an HD tv (they won't give you an HD box for a 4:3 set, even if digital and "HD ready").

For me it only costs the additional $10/mo to get Showtime in order to have the one HD channel. Even if I only see a few movies/month, it's about the same as renting a few dvd's. I didn't consider HBO because of their lack of OAR support...

Also, that's my only choice for HD programming--I won't see OTA HD for many, many years--unless I put an antenna on a 100+ foot tower. Although if TimeWarner keeps adding channels I don't want, and charging for them, I may switch to satellite at some point--and given all I've read, I'd go with Dish.
