What Cablevision Should Do

[dm145]

OK OK , cablevision shills, youve made ur points and attacked me, but it doesnt change the fact that your product sucks, and people know that, so whatever.

IMHO, you lost all credibilty when you admitted not having an HDTV!

you know yourself cablevision compresses HD so much, and they have artifacts. Fios does not. I know this because i have friends and i know who is happy with what. Whatever man, everyone knows cablevision has poor PQ, its not a secret. Just turn on your tv. You can deny it all you like, but people do have eyes.

No HDTV. You don't even have FiOS. You don't have a leg to stand on.

I have to agree CV has terrible HD.

We had dtv for years, and decided to change it up because dtv was getting expensive.

We DO have an HDTV (sammi 52" 650) Which on dtv looks amazing. SO we switched to cv and the hd channels are look terrible, Pixals / Ghosting
alot like this


YouTube - Cablevision iO pixelation

Is cv doing anything to correct this problem because its unacceptable to watch such a niec tv with such a crappy source. On a side note We also have optonline w/ boost, and we will never use another provider again its crazy fast!!. I dont understand how the net through the same line can run so fast, but it takes a good 2 secs to change channels, and about 5 to open the IO menu.

I have no problems with HD on my end...8300HD Receiver on the Warwick, NY system in Northwest NJ. I've never had a problem with mybox (Going on 3 years now). My previous box at school I had for 10 months, not one problem either.

I will be happy when CBS College Sports HD launches in time for football, and if they add Discovery HD, (CNBC+, or Fox Business HD), and TWCHD...

The problem with Pixelation is almost 90% related to a problem at the customers home. here is a verizon customer who is switching back to cablevision because of pixelation!


YouTube - Verizon Fios Sucks!!!

I guess its kinda hit or miss? I have excellent internet speeds and great signal strenth, so its not a problem in the house, its a problem with the provider

We will prob just switch back to dtv for the tv and keep the opt

How do you know what your "signal strength" is? and your internet speed has 0 to do with pixelation on the tv. At least the type I see in the video posted.

Also note that signal "strength" plays a minor role in the pixelation itself. Its more of a quality of signal issue. How well your distortions are handled. You can have a perfect picture (digital) with -20db and no pixel. You can have massive pixels at +1. The quality of the signal is the bigger issue, and without giving CV time to resolve the issue by sending out techs your really not getting the service you need. Sometimes it will take more then 1-2 maybe 3 or 4 techs to get the issue fixed. Why? Because of the high turn over rate in the low level tech departments. The same is true for call centers etc. Its hard to find good help.

So have CV come out and fix it because its not a national problem, its right there at your house my friend. It could be up the street, but then the whole street would be complaining to. But its certainly not a issue that only CV experiences. Every cable company, Directv, Verizon, att etc experiance the problems at homes.
