I think NGN4 (Time-Warner 682, and 1682 HD) came out in early February 2010. Because I already subscribe to NGN1-3, I automatically qualified to receive NGN4. One of my friends who only subscribe to NGN1 and 3 can't receive NGN4.The really cool thing about NGN bringing to us NHK World is that it was a channel I kept asking Time-Warner to bring in. It kept telling me it wasn't in its plans. But I guess NGN was listening. I first started watching it this past December when I stayed in Guam for a few days; the Westin I stayed at delivered NHK World.
The great thing about NHK World is that everything is in English. 95-percent is spoken English (even the Japanese shows are dubbed in English), and 5-percent is English subtitles. Many of the documentaries shown are fascinating! I believe KIKU-TV air some of these documentaries during their New Year period. Also, the news at NHK is among the world's top trusted networks. If you're sick of the Fox News/CNN/network TV news, NHK is very refreshing.
If you're not subscribing to the full NGN package, you're really missing out!
