participating provider? (Time Warner Cable vs. Hawaiian Telcom)

More comparisons between Oceanic (Time Warner Cable) and Hawaiian Telcom.  Oceanic has On Demand for many of the TV shows, while Hawaiian Telcom does not have any.

However Hawaiian Telcom has support for more websites and apps as a participating provider.  I'm starting the list below.  (Note, even if a provider is not supported, you still might be able to watch many or most of the show on the site.) 

Channel Time Warner Hawaiian Telcom
ABC         no           yes
NBC         n/a          n/a
CBS         n/a          n/a
Fox         yes          no
FX          yes          yes
The CW      yes          yes
PBS         n/a          n/a
TBS         no           yes
TNT         no           yes
CNN         no           yes
CNBC        yes          yes
ESPN        yes          yes
TW Sports   yes          yes
History     yes          yes
HGTV        n/a          n/a
NatGeo Wild yes          yes

So Hawaiian Telcom supports almost every channel except Fox, while Time Warner is missing ABC (you can still watch shows after a week), TBS and TNT.  And yes, you do need a TV subscription to view much of the content.
