    Bridgeport, CT system going fully digital 5/18

    If you want an hd box, you have to ask for it. They don't assume you have an hd tv. If your neighbor has an hd tv and wants to switch, the easiest thing to do is bring the old box to a customer service center and switch it.

    WABC may pull its signal on March 7

    That's not what the law says. Cable is taking something for free, charging others for it and making a profit. The OTA channels really don't get anything out of that scenario, not even new viewers, since it's just people switching to cable from using an antenna. Sounds kind of unfair to the...

    Cartoon Network (Family Guy)

    I would get similar problems with channels 702 and 713. It was due to a bad connection between a cable and a splitter. The cable ends and the splitter were replaced and the problem hasn't come back since. You might want to call to get a technician out or you could try replacing them yourself...

    Yes, you could do that, but I doubt you are willing to pay the $10,000+ per day that it would cost.

    CV HD Picture quality bad, I have a question.

    The upconverter is better in my TV then from the box. So I use the pass-through setting on the box to let my TV do the upconversion. Try that and see what happens. I also use the s-video connection from the box to the TV for SD, you can get a better picture that way sometimes. But just...

    c-band multi-feed sat dish

    For c-band they are two far apart. You would need a wider "torus" type dish. Multiple Feed Antennas

    4dtv fixed output

    That's not going to work. You need to download the channel maps from a C band satellite. That would be Motorola or the ACC ( Access Control Center) which is owned by Comcast , but they won't help you.

    dsr-922 channel scan

    You need to download the channel maps. There is no way to enter them manually. It's in the instruction manual. If you don't have the manual, try these instructions: NPS - Your One Call Solution
