    Voom is gone?

    Guys, here's the deal: I believe if you get "not authorized" its cause you cable box might have lost its IP address. Naturally, your cable box needs to talk to the head-end to tell it to start streaming that VOOM channel on one of the available SDV slots. Now the "Channel Temporarily...

    New Channels?

    Is cablevision physically maxed out at the moment in terms of bandwidth? So moving forward, any new channels will require either SDV, or reclaiming of analog channels?

    Explorer 8300

    Don't think so... but I suppose you could set the box to record a show every morning before you usually get up. This will wake up the hard drive so it records.

    In my area of Morris county, they just switched to ALL digital broadcasting if you are using an IO box. Before this switch on Thursday the 17th I think it was, we were getting digital 2-21, then channels 22-78 (except YES, SNY, FoxSportsNY and MSG) were all analog.... now all channels you...
