    Bridgeport, CT system going fully digital 5/18

    If you want an hd box, you have to ask for it. They don't assume you have an hd tv. If your neighbor has an hd tv and wants to switch, the easiest thing to do is bring the old box to a customer service center and switch it.

    WABC may pull its signal on March 7

    That's not what the law says. Cable is taking something for free, charging others for it and making a profit. The OTA channels really don't get anything out of that scenario, not even new viewers, since it's just people switching to cable from using an antenna. Sounds kind of unfair to the...

    I have mine hooked up through the s-video connection. It letter boxes the hd channels. I also set the letterbox background color to black from the standard grey.

    Are you trying to do this to copy over your saved programs? It won't work. They are encrypted and will only work on the DVR the drive was attached to.

    Cartoon Network (Family Guy)

    I would get similar problems with channels 702 and 713. It was due to a bad connection between a cable and a splitter. The cable ends and the splitter were replaced and the problem hasn't come back since. You might want to call to get a technician out or you could try replacing them yourself...
