    Audio dropouts and pixelation on WPVI Philadelphia in the early evening?

    For the past couple weeks, we've been having issues with intermittent pixelation and audio dropouts on WPVI (ABC affiliate) during the 6pm hour, most noticeably during world news tonight between 6:30pm and 7pm. Last night, it was happening about every 5 minutes during the broadcast. Odd thing...

    RedZone Channel on Comcast

    Anyone hear anything new on the NFL RedZone channel front? I'm really hoping it'll be exactly what DirecTV has offered for the past two seasons... the only thing that has me wondering, though, is the wording about "offer the NFL’s RedZone Channel when it is created." Are they scrapping what's...

    MLB Network

    I was just checking Comcast.com and, as far as I can tell, MLB Network is going to be part of the digital tier and not part of the sports package? Or, have they just not updated the sports pack listings yet? Here's hoping for digital so I don't have to shell out the extra $5 a month. :)

    Audio Issues With WPVI-HD (6ABC) in Philly

    I'm on Comcast of South Jersey (the old Garden State Cable franchise) and, for the past couple of weeks, the audio levels on WPVI-HD have been peaking horribly when I tune in for Lost. It's gotten to the point that I've actually been watching the SD feed instead. Has anyone else noticed...

    2 Cables for HD-DVR?

    I'm ready to make the jump from overpriced Comcast to DirecTV, but am a little concerned about the install... For the HD-DVR, do I need to seperate cables, one for each tuner? Or, can one cable be used and split at the box? My house was wired when it was being built, but there's only one line...

    Prices are going up in January... *sigh*

    Just got my December cable bill and the dreaded insert was there was the new prices for 2008. I don't have it in front of me, but I remember seeing that standard cable is going up $3 per month and the DVR service is increasing by $2 or $3 per month. So, for the Digital Plus package with one...

    Subscribe now or wait four days? Hmm...

    I'm planning to make the switch from Comcast back to DirecTV and am not sure if I should do it now or wait until next week to see what the next promo is. (Free DVD player? Don't need it...) I'd be looking at getting the HD-DVR and going with a mid-level package on two TVs. I know the new...

    Comcast DVR

    I'm looking at going with a Comcast DVR in about 2 or 3 weeks, but wasn't sure if it'd be better off to wait a little bit due to the deal they announced with Tivo a few months ago... Has anyone heard if is Comcast slated to come out with a new DVR anytime soon or is Tivo going to have a...

    Finally got TNT-HD and Current added to lineup...

    I'm in the old Garden State Cable area of South Jersey that Comcast controls and we finally got TNT-HD yesterday, which my friends on the other side of the river have had for many, many, many months. Al Gore's Current channel was also added to the digital tier. Hopefully a sign of good things...

    [COMCAST] No more west feeds for the pay channels? Hmm...

    I just noticed that, other than HBO-W, Comcast is no longer carrying the west feeds for any of the other HBO channels. Same thing with the other pay channels, with the main channel retaining it's east and west feeds, but all of the other flavors only providing the east feed. Is Comcast trying...

    Is it worth getting D* now or should I wait?

    I'm going back and forth on whether or not to sign up. I currently have Comcast and would love to make the move to D*, but am not sure if I should wait until they're ready to roll out the new dish and media center. :confused: I've got an HD setup and there's no way in hell my wife would let...

    Severe pixelation on KYW-HD (CBS) feed on Comcast...

    My wife and I were watching the Grammy's last night and even she was getting annoyed at how much pixelation there was during some of the performances. I've always heard people talk about how DirecTV and Dish are only offering "hd-light," but is it any worse than what I'm getting through...

    It's been a loooooooooong time since I've seen any new HD channels on Comcast here in Philly. We currently have: INHD 1 & 2 ESPN HD Discovery HD Comcast Sportsnet HD ...plus all the broadcast nets and a few of the pay services, but I'm really starting to wonder if we'll ever see TNT...

    R15 Question

    Hey guys... I think I'm finally ready to make the move from Comcast to DirecTV. Now that they've rolled out the HD locals in Philly and are offering the rebates on the HD receivers as well as the SD DVR, it's hard to keep writing the checks to Comcast every month. My only question is with...

    I'll be Vooming in a month...

    I ordered Voom on Saturday night and scheduled my install for April 15th. Unfortunately due to my schedule, that's the first weekday I'll be able to take off from work... On Monday, I was suprised to receive a phone call from the installer asking if I wanted it installed today... Either...
