My point My point is, why should the people living 8 miles from here get three times the features and we both pay the same price? Don't get me wrong, I like Time Warner Cable. I'm happy with the picture quality and what I get, I just think we should get what others are getting for the same...

I just have to vent a bit about why TWC gets me mad. Please, if anyone has any insight to this, let me know. I live in the Buffalo, NY service area, which used to be Adelphia until TW took over around 2006. They are SO slow at adding HD channels in this market. I look at the offerings in...

I was just looking through my on screen guide for the HBO preview, and noticed that on TWC in the Buffalo area, they have added YES HD!!!!! Channel 770 and I couldn't be happier as a Yankees fan! Whoo-hoo!!!!! cloverboy

Another 2 cents I think that HDMI cables are a luxury, I'll agree to that. But, a component cable is pretty basic and the basic necessity to hook up an HD receiver. As a customer, I've never had to supply cables for cable tv, or for the Dish. If the customer says sorry, I dont have any...

My 2 cents Not providing the cables to properly hook up the HD receiver and saying the customer should provide them to me is a bit ridiculous. That's like asking the customer to provide their own remote. It sounds like it's a Dish/Tech problem, not a customer problem. If the guy that...

Same thing When I had Dish installed two years ago, the installer that came out said it couldn't be done, there were trees in the way. He did take a lot of time to determine this. Dish called me back a couple days later, and sent a supervisor out to check it out. He came out, looked...

Fox HD was added to the lineup in Buffalo, NY area today. It has been on the Rochester area system since last month. cloverboy

Music channel Yeah, thats what I meant. There was a Ricky Martin concert on the other day and it had MTV2 in the title. Not that I watched the whole concert. Really. I didn't. cloverboy

Switching boxes When I started out with Dish 2 years ago, they gave me 2 boxes. The 811 which was HD no DVR, and the 522 which was DVR no HD. When I wanted to watch something in HD, I would use the 811. Now I found the 811 SD picture to be horrible, so I ran an S Video cable to watch SD...

Ok, so I just switched back to TWC after almost two years with Dish Network. I think the picture quality on TWC is far better than Dish. I also enjoy the HD channels without having to change boxes and TV inputs like I did with Dish. A couple things I do miss already though. When I press...

I did it... Well, I went with Time Warner Cable. They gave me two HD/DVR's one for each TV I have, 49.99 mo. for three months, and a $200 rebate. Not a bad deal. I just called Dish to cancel, and after talking to someone who I could barely understand, he transferred me to someone who...

We'll See Well, I've had Dish for almost two years. Never missed a payment or was late. Have the Top 180, no premiums, nothing special, just DHPP. I have one 522 for two rooms hooked up. That's it. I had an 811 also when I started but got sick of moving around an antenna to bring in the...

I have Top 180 with a 522. I was thinking about switching to cable and was wondering, what do you think Dish would offer me to stay as a customer if I called up to cancel my account???? Do you think they would take money off, better equipment, or just tell me goodbye?? I tried this with...

Can someone tell me what they pay monthly for the various taxes and fees that Time Warner charges in the Western New York area?? When I had Adelphia, I remember the franchise fees and taxes being high. If I do switch back to TW I just want to know how much to add on to the monthly charge...
