New York - Time Warner's Home Box Office (HBO) cable network has announced plans to make all 26 of its HBO and Cinemax channels available in high-definition by the second quarter of 2008.

"We have a long history of firsts in technology -- satellite, multiplex and SVOD. Such a commitment reinforces our tradition of giving our customers the best programming when they want it and how they want it," said HBO chairman and CEO Bill Nelson.

The rollout will begin later this year. DirecTV has already committed to carrying 11 new HBO HD channels, beginning in September.
