It was announced last month the IControl which is Pay per view carried by TWC would be broadcasting My Greek Wedding in HDTV as well as other movies. Has anyone heard any more on this? What channel is it going to be on and when? I am looking forward to watching a newer movie in HD as I haven't seen one yet that I cared to watch.

iControl and Pay-per-view are kind of the same thing, but different technologies.  iControl lets you control the "pay-per-view" movie or subscription event with VCR-like controls using the set top remote control.  There are also some free iControl channels as well as subscription iControl for HBO, Showtime etc...
Pay-per-view events start at pre-determined times and can not be controlled by the customer.
I don't know where you got news of this announcement, but iControl is SD only, sorry. :(
I can see there may be a nitch for a PPV HD channel in the future, but I know of no such plans at this time.  I agree it would really be a nice addition!
