    Wliw Hd

    WLIW In HD Apparently, I was wrong. I checked this a.m. myself and no HD. My eyes must be failing me because when I watched a recent Nova (or maybe it was Nature) program on WLIW - it was about wolves in Yellowstone - it was not only labeled HD but appeared so to me. That said, I did not...

    Wliw Hd

    I am not techie enough to challenge Delorean or Cforest on technical grounds. I would ask that they both tune in to 721 at a time they have an HD broadcast. Try Word World tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. If your not home, record it. If you still don't agree, so it goes. As I understand the history...

    Caller ID on Set Top Boxes

    As of yesterday I noticed that caller id is working in Norwalk. Great feature for us couch potatoes! P.S. I wonder how this works. I have Cable Optimum Voice so I assume the coax cable connection carries the info. I do not have any phone lines plugged into the SA 8200. For people getting...

    WLIW In HD I have now watched Nova on WLIW 721 and it was definitely in HD. Note the limited list of programs I noted in my original post.

    Am the last person to notice that WLIW 721 is broadcasting selected programs in HD: Word World, NOVA, Nature, Austin City Limits and Jakers? I don't think I have seen anything on this in any of the posts. Martin21

    Optimum Online speeds are NUTS in my area

    Bill94, which wireless router are you using? I have a Linksys WRT54G and it only delivers approximately 6 Mgps download over the air. Hardwired with an Ethernet cable it delivers 13 to 14 Mgps. I don't have speed boost so my maximum would be only 15 Mgps. BTW I had to communicate with...

    New Install q's: cable quality, pricing

    Beware of CV Come-ons I switched to CV about one year ago from D*. I received the "double play" discount because I also have CV Optonline. I was unceremoniously advised today that my double pay discount expired in mid April and that I now have the pleasure of paying $33 more per month for the...

    Lots of problems with HD boxes...

    My HD/DVR works just fine and have no problems. Sounds like you have either a box or signal problem. I find that Cablevision service is prompt and professional. I'd call them and let them send a tech to troubleshoot. No cost to you, you just have to be there.

    Remote Control

    I learned about a better remote control for the series 8000 Scientific Atlanta cable boxes. It can be found at http://www.scientificatlanta.com/co...ies/remotes.htm I purchased it and I think it is the best "universal" remote I have ever had. It can be set to turn on/off multiple devices...
