    Why would anyone have Charter?

    Have you ever had Charter? Switch and come back here in a week. I'm nearly certain that you'll understand. Crappy equipment, high prices, terrible customer service, poor picture quality, lack of HD, rarely adds new channels and I can go on and on. Switch to Charter and find out for yourself. But...

    Why would anyone have Charter?

    I agree with everything you said. I have nothing good to say about Charter. If you have HD, I'll NEVER understand why you would want to have Charter. The HD offerings are pitiful. Both Dish and DirecTV have all channels I watch in HD. Charter only has a couple. Their customer service is...

    Is Charter internet wireless connect only up to 5 devices?

    My particular wireless router has 5 wired hookup ports on the back. As far as wireless connections, there's no limit.

    Removing on screen guide channels

    Go into the main menu and click SETUP. Then click PARENTAL CONTROLS. And from there click TITLE LOCKS. That should do it for you.

    Does Charter activate ext HDD in SA8300HD?

    I just had a brief stint with Charter that left me frustrated. They gave me a Motorola DCH6416 with a 120 gig internal hard drive. For me, that is tiny. I have a USB external drive I wanted to use. I asked customer service while ordering if I would be able to utilize my EHD. She said yes...

    Don't care for Howard TV, would love VOD IF it was offered in my area. And they have no plans of offering where I live anytime soon. They told me "it's not popular enough to spend the money to offer it in this area". Whatever.:mad:

    How often though does Charter add new HD channels as compared to other cable companies and both DBS companies? It seems to me that if you have an HD TV, satellite is the place to be.

    Yes the office is still there but I believe that the customer service was better when it had more of a "local" representation to it.

    As far as Charter goes, I have learned 2 things: 1. They are VERY slow about adding new channels. They would rather charge you a high price and not provide new channels that would cost THEM more money. 2. Customer service is poor EVERYWHERE. I know here in the McKenzie TN area, we lost...

    I switched back to Dish Network because of all the problems (even more than I have reported in this thread) I had with Charter. Though I kept their internet and phone, I could not be happier that I am back with Dish.

    Well I have decided to make the jump back to Dish Network because Charter's CS is absolutely horrible. Charter is probably the worst experience that I have ever gone through as far as TV goes. Not to mention their channel selection stinks. I am keeping their internet and phone though just...

    You get more than I get. I don't have anything interactive, no Thriller Max and we still don't have VOD.

    Thanks for the info. That was very interesting. I notice that Hits has the channels that I would like to have in their lineup (Chiller, Sleuth, Fox Reality). Is there any reason why Charter hasn't added those yet. I am snail mailing them a letter this week about letting them know that I want...

    No Cable TV Just internet

    You will pay a lot more than you should for internet if you don't get cable TV as well.

    Here's hoping that they will bring at least Fox Business Channel to us in the Mckenzie TN area. We are still waiting for VOD here. I asked one of the many tech guys that visited my house recently about it and he said it is coming maybe by the end of the year or early next year.

    Yes I have had a bit of a rollercoaster ride with Charter. But they worked hard to solve my problem. Even though it took three weeks with multiple trips to my house, it is now solved. The Moxi would be great if it had a bigger hard drive. And I would be happy with it if the external HD was...

    When I was with Dish, I had the 625 DVR and it was a very reliable DVR except for the occasional audio drop-outs. The 6416 that I have now is also very nice and is on par if not better than the 625. My only complaint so far would be that the PIP function has not been activated yet. And the...

    Well, I went out and bought a 360GB hard drive and hooked it up to my Moxi and it recognized it and everything was fine. Free space went from 70% full to only 8% full! I was so excited that I wouldn't have to worry about space anymore. BUT, after an hour or so, the Moxi would not record of...

    So far, I can say that customer service drastically needs to improve. But I had CS issues with D* and E* as well. As far as PQ goes, yes, the analog channels are crap. Some are better than others. The locals seem to be the worst. But the digital channels are MUCH better than D*. I watched...

    I FINALLY have Charter hooked up correctly. Though I had to through a couple of punches to get the job done. First they were scheduled to come out on Tuesday to increase the power of the signal off of the street. But the guy no-showed. That really ticked me off. After raising hell, it got...
