    Why subscribe to Game Plan???

    It has to do with who has the television rights. The B10 only has rights to the games played at their venues. In other words, television rights reside with the home team. B10 home games will be on ABC (with ESPN/2 coverage for regional games), ESPN, ESPN2, and BTN. B10 games may appear on...

    Why subscribe to Game Plan???

    Hold on now, some of the B10 games may be on GamePlan. The B10 television agreement only covers games played at a B10 venue (or where the B10 team is home). Looking at the schedule, most of the games I expected to be on GamePlan have been picked up by ESPN360 or ESPNU. The only game that I...

    Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD DVR Questions

    I'm not sure that switching to component video cables would resolve this problem anyway. I'm not sure what software you're running, but on the Passport software you can open the settings menu, press the button for more settings, and then find the menu option for display resolutions. If you...

    Question

    HDMI inputs? Probably not inputs, but outputs are likely. If not a DVI connection would be included and you could use a DVI-HDMI cable.

    NFL Network question

    It depends on your CBS affiliate. IIRC our CBS affiliate got the Monday Night Football game last year, but the affiliate only carried the SD feed. Our NBC affiliate got the NFL Network game and they carried the HD feed along with the SD feed. Only your local affiliate or other local people...

    Anyone know of any new equipment?

    With the amount of effort I have heard TWC is putting towards their own proprietary DVR software it's doubtful that they'll sign a deal with TiVo like Comcast has. TWC does offer cable cards.

    I have a question about software

    Not a chance, unless you get a TiVo S3 or go with a different provider.

    Which Dish will a new customer get?

    I did not know that. Thanks!

    Which Dish will a new customer get?

    And if you don't order an HD receiver you get a single LNB dish like my neighbors. Keep in mind a HD receiver locks you in for 24 months.

    Question about digital?

    You may find that it won't work as the box is authorized to work in a certain portion of TWC's network. Move it to a different zone/region and it may not work.

    Blocking Channels from the guide

    Buying a TiVo or returning the cable box are the only solutions that I am aware of.

    Switching from Dish Network worth it?

    Here's a price sheet page for your area. They usually will rent out whatever you want dependent on availability. Only you can determine the worth. Take a look at the programming packages for both providers and decide who has the most programming you want for the price you are willing to...

    Noobie Question

    Well, alternatively you can run a second video output from the one box you rent to the second tv, but you will be limited to the programming being viewed on the one box. I'm not aware of any PC based cable card solutions, currently, but some may exist or are being developed. The trick is you...

    Noobie Question

    Well, you can buy a TiVo series 3, pay for TiVo service, and rent 1 or 2 cable cards. You also have the choice of buying a TV/external tuner with a cable card slot and then renting a cable card from TWC. While you can find and buy cable boxes on eBay and such, cable companies are under no...

    cable and component connection

    It's highly doubtful that she was damaging anything by using provided connection points. Now, if she was connecting her cable line to a wall outlet, then that would be a different story.

    HD cable box keeps turning off

    You may want to try using the component output from the STB to see if that also corrects the problem. It sounds like some sort of HDCP problem when using the HDMI connection. You can try unplugging the STB for some time, connecting the HDMI cable with the TV off, plugging the STB into the...

    Quick Question

    If you want HD on your new TV you will want to use a component, DVI or HDMI cable from your HD cable box. If you're using a regular cable box the composite or s-video will work.

    Cable box display shows green dashes

    Sounds like your box is hosed. Get a new one.

    Direct TV sports pack

    The B10N won't specifically be a part of the Sports Pack since it will be available on what was called Total Choice. I assume this will be a basic channel package (not necessarily a part of the family package).

    Blocking Channels from the guide

    branchbouncer, I don't think you understand how this user is using the Favorites list. I actually used it the same way. If you just set up the favorites to list the channels you are watching at a given time then you can flip through just the channels you want to watch with the push of a...

    Is Digital In America DVB-T?

    We use ATSC with 8VSB modulation for digital broadcasts in the states and I believe Canada does as well.

    Does TW Use DVB-C or Another Type Of Digital Decoder?

    TWC uses quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) of (I believe) ATSC signals. DVB-C appears to be the European standard for digital broadcast over cable. Why do you ask? FYI, TWC will provide the equipment necessary to view their digital signals (at a cost) and will not authorize any non...

    Sports Pack...Worth it or not

    If I understand the sports pack correctly, it is good for shows on the channels they provide in the package for programming not available through a PPV package (MLB:EI, NHL:CI, ESPN:CC, ESPN:GP). So, If you're looking for college programming (not basketball or football games) like coaches...
