    Why subscribe to Game Plan???

    It has to do with who has the television rights. The B10 only has rights to the games played at their venues. In other words, television rights reside with the home team. B10 home games will be on ABC (with ESPN/2 coverage for regional games), ESPN, ESPN2, and BTN. B10 games may appear on...

    Why subscribe to Game Plan???

    Hold on now, some of the B10 games may be on GamePlan. The B10 television agreement only covers games played at a B10 venue (or where the B10 team is home). Looking at the schedule, most of the games I expected to be on GamePlan have been picked up by ESPN360 or ESPNU. The only game that I...

    Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD DVR Questions

    I'm not sure that switching to component video cables would resolve this problem anyway. I'm not sure what software you're running, but on the Passport software you can open the settings menu, press the button for more settings, and then find the menu option for display resolutions. If you...

    Question

    HDMI inputs? Probably not inputs, but outputs are likely. If not a DVI connection would be included and you could use a DVI-HDMI cable.

    NFL Network question

    It depends on your CBS affiliate. IIRC our CBS affiliate got the Monday Night Football game last year, but the affiliate only carried the SD feed. Our NBC affiliate got the NFL Network game and they carried the HD feed along with the SD feed. Only your local affiliate or other local people...

    Anyone know of any new equipment?

    With the amount of effort I have heard TWC is putting towards their own proprietary DVR software it's doubtful that they'll sign a deal with TiVo like Comcast has. TWC does offer cable cards.

    I have a question about software

    Not a chance, unless you get a TiVo S3 or go with a different provider.

    Which Dish will a new customer get?

    I did not know that. Thanks!

    Which Dish will a new customer get?

    And if you don't order an HD receiver you get a single LNB dish like my neighbors. Keep in mind a HD receiver locks you in for 24 months.

    Question about digital?

    You may find that it won't work as the box is authorized to work in a certain portion of TWC's network. Move it to a different zone/region and it may not work.

    Blocking Channels from the guide

    Buying a TiVo or returning the cable box are the only solutions that I am aware of.

    Switching from Dish Network worth it?

    Here's a price sheet page for your area. They usually will rent out whatever you want dependent on availability. Only you can determine the worth. Take a look at the programming packages for both providers and decide who has the most programming you want for the price you are willing to...

    Noobie Question

    Well, alternatively you can run a second video output from the one box you rent to the second tv, but you will be limited to the programming being viewed on the one box. I'm not aware of any PC based cable card solutions, currently, but some may exist or are being developed. The trick is you...

    Noobie Question

    Well, you can buy a TiVo series 3, pay for TiVo service, and rent 1 or 2 cable cards. You also have the choice of buying a TV/external tuner with a cable card slot and then renting a cable card from TWC. While you can find and buy cable boxes on eBay and such, cable companies are under no...

    cable and component connection

    It's highly doubtful that she was damaging anything by using provided connection points. Now, if she was connecting her cable line to a wall outlet, then that would be a different story.
