    Spectrum "Choice" Retention Package? Anyone?

    we got the tripled play a few years ago. Bought three Tivos with lifetime on them and setup all our own equipment. Bill was ~$95 total when we started. After the first year, it went up to ~$130. Then, after the second year and SPectrum took over, we are now paying ~$165. It's still not too...

    Most Pay TV Subscribers Stay Because It’s Bundled With Broadband, Survey Finds

    Yep. We were upset to see our bill go up ~$30 after the transition to spectrum was complete. We have all 3 services, and the total price is still cheaper than we paid for each one individually. We did inquire about making changes after the price increase, and if we were to drop TV and only...

    TIME WARNER NOW SPECTRUM

    Get READY... Things have been switching from TWC to Spectrum over the past few months here. Just got the first official bill from Spectrum, and it was ~$30 more than it has been for the past 1.5 years......... Called and got the "your 12-month promotional price ended" line, even though we...

    Thinking of switching to cable from satellite... questions

    we ditched satellite over a year ago. between satellite, internet, and home phone- we were paying over $200/mo. We jumped on the TWC (now spectrum) $89/mo triple play. We purchased 3 TivoHD units with lifetime. We refused to get any cable box from them due to the crazy fees, and we requested...

    Equipment and Cable Card Questions

    you cannot own a TWC box. They will barely let you own a modem. Their boxes stink any anyway. if you want to own your own equipment- get a tivo or setup a pc. we are saving big $$$$ this way.

    Time Warner Cable is tempting cord-cutters with new Roku 3 live-streaming cable plans

    cool we have 3 tivos with cable cards and rokus every where else already. the triple play for a total of ~$120/mo is sweet

    Time Warner Cable Promises to Kill the Cable Box

    Yes, STELAR put an end to the cablecard, but yet satellite providers still use cards for their security. without a doubt, twc is pushing for an all out IP based security system. it is cheaper, easier, and more secure. you used to be able to take a cablebox from one location and use it at...

    Time Warner Cable Promises to Kill the Cable Box

    it probably has more to do with the cable cards. a tivo will not have any cable channel in HD without it. the roku, otoh, works just fine.

    Time Warner Cable Promises to Kill the Cable Box

    The roku works amazingly well on TWC. we have 3 tivos and 3 rokus. if they find a way to incorporate a dvr feature with the roku app, then there will be no need for a cable box.

    Cord Cutters

    yep- have 4. have always preferred owing equipment- even as a dish customer. there were benefits to that, back in the day, but over the years they disappeared on dish. twc gets $4/mo out of us for the cable cards and $8/mo for the modem. that is considerably less than we paid dish for...

    Cord Cutters

    they would probably still argue with you since Uverse provides television via that medium.... and a phone cord is still a "cord" you may be using to watch television..... was dumb enough to get stuck in a few of those exchanges.... LOL

    Cord Cutters

    yep. if you talk to hard core cord cutters, they are all about mobile / free wifi. they get rowdy if someone refers to themselves as a cord cutter but still have their cable modem.... LOL.
