I think I may have discovered the secret to dealing with Cablevison. Take everything they say with a HUGE grain of salt and expect nothing from them so you won't be disappointed when you get nothing. Case in Point # 1: A few months back someone posted a story stating the NFL Network had agreed...

Last correspondence I had from Cablevision a few weeks back was because I was the only one in my area/neighborhood to complain about this problem, there was nothing they could do about it. Now THAT'S what I call customer service!

Sysyem Wide? Certainly not doubting your information but a call to the local CV office here in NJ resulted in the generic message that "Cablevison is constantly in negotiations with providers about adding new content...nothing is imminent...blah blah blah". Just wondering if this is another...

Any idea if this addition will be system wide? I'm in NJ. Will we be getting it too? Bill

At present CV only offers three HD boxes. All made by SA. If I recall they are the 8300, the 4200 and a 4300 (?). When asked why only boxes made by SA the rep replied they were the only ones compatible with CV's technology! As usual the reps aren't given enough information to answer a simple...

Thanks for your response, meinename. I'm not quite sure I understood everything in your post so let me just use ESPN as an example... a week or so ago Cablevision informed its customers that a number of channels would no longer have a seperate feed for SD and HD. Therefore ESPN - whether you...

Just called cablevision to ask why a number of channels can be found at THREE different locations (e.g. - MSG (71, 716, 1071) ; ESPN (36, 736, 1036), etc.). There are six channels with three different locations and another handful that appear twice. Seems to me that bandwidth could be used to...

Yeah, I'm still using the 8300. This is my second one; the first one crashed after four months or so wiping out a number of shows I had recorded for future viewing. When I went to CV's office in Oakland after buying my HD TV to pick up the HD box the woman at CV explained to me that the DVR...

johnner1999, what would be the advantages to a newer model box? Bill

I thank you once again for your input and thoughts. Bill

As of last night I wasn't getting the new HD channels. I called CV today and asked about it. While I had the rep on the phone I asked if the free Showtime preview started today or tomorrow. I was told they had no information about either any new HD channels being added OR the Showtime...

I've had an ongoing problem for at least the last nine or ten months now with reception of Channels 720 (Big 10 Network) and 791 (NHL Network). At some point later in the evening around 9:30 or 10:00 PM if I go to watch these channels I get a on-screen message that they are not currently...

Just wondering if there is any data as to the number of Cablevision subscribers that currently own 3D sets. I'd rather see more HD content until the price and 3D technology become more affordable.

Typical Cablevision In typical Cablevision fashion I called their offices just yesterday (3/23/10) to ask if any new HD channels were to be added in ther near future. I was told nothing was imminent! No sense getting annoyed with the reps that answer the phones when they're not being given...
