HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax are considered premium services and ALL cable systems charge extra for them.
CableCARDs replace set top boxes so you don't have to have a box to get certain services, you can plug the cable directly into the TV set. Using a cableCARD you can get the premium channels but you must PAY for them.
CableCARDs can be activated, serviced and leased for a monthly fee from Time Warner Cable.

I get two free movie channels with my service - HBO and Cinemax. I have Comcast but you dont have to pay for a subscription if you have digital cable, you just pay for what ever movie you watch...sorry dont know much about timewarner
