    Why TWC gets me mad

    My point My point is, why should the people living 8 miles from here get three times the features and we both pay the same price? Don't get me wrong, I like Time Warner Cable. I'm happy with the picture quality and what I get, I just think we should get what others are getting for the same...

    Why TWC gets me mad

    I just have to vent a bit about why TWC gets me mad. Please, if anyone has any insight to this, let me know. I live in the Buffalo, NY service area, which used to be Adelphia until TW took over around 2006. They are SO slow at adding HD channels in this market. I look at the offerings in...

    Installation

    Another 2 cents I think that HDMI cables are a luxury, I'll agree to that. But, a component cable is pretty basic and the basic necessity to hook up an HD receiver. As a customer, I've never had to supply cables for cable tv, or for the Dish. If the customer says sorry, I dont have any...

    Installation

    My 2 cents Not providing the cables to properly hook up the HD receiver and saying the customer should provide them to me is a bit ridiculous. That's like asking the customer to provide their own remote. It sounds like it's a Dish/Tech problem, not a customer problem. If the guy that...

    Installer says it can't be installed.....wtf.

    Same thing When I had Dish installed two years ago, the installer that came out said it couldn't be done, there were trees in the way. He did take a lot of time to determine this. Dish called me back a couple days later, and sent a supervisor out to check it out. He came out, looked...

    New to TWC - Ex Dish Network

    Switching boxes When I started out with Dish 2 years ago, they gave me 2 boxes. The 811 which was HD no DVR, and the 522 which was DVR no HD. When I wanted to watch something in HD, I would use the 811. Now I found the 811 SD picture to be horrible, so I ran an S Video cable to watch SD...

    New to TWC - Ex Dish Network

    Ok, so I just switched back to TWC after almost two years with Dish Network. I think the picture quality on TWC is far better than Dish. I also enjoy the HD channels without having to change boxes and TV inputs like I did with Dish. A couple things I do miss already though. When I press...

    Try to keep me as customer???

    I did it... Well, I went with Time Warner Cable. They gave me two HD/DVR's one for each TV I have, 49.99 mo. for three months, and a $200 rebate. Not a bad deal. I just called Dish to cancel, and after talking to someone who I could barely understand, he transferred me to someone who...

    Try to keep me as customer???

    We'll See Well, I've had Dish for almost two years. Never missed a payment or was late. Have the Top 180, no premiums, nothing special, just DHPP. I have one 522 for two rooms hooked up. That's it. I had an 811 also when I started but got sick of moving around an antenna to bring in the...

    Try to keep me as customer???

    I have Top 180 with a 522. I was thinking about switching to cable and was wondering, what do you think Dish would offer me to stay as a customer if I called up to cancel my account???? Do you think they would take money off, better equipment, or just tell me goodbye?? I tried this with...

    TWC Fees and Taxes Western NY Area

    Can someone tell me what they pay monthly for the various taxes and fees that Time Warner charges in the Western New York area?? When I had Adelphia, I remember the franchise fees and taxes being high. If I do switch back to TW I just want to know how much to add on to the monthly charge...

    If I cancel service?

    Just a question. If I decide to get rid of dish, what equipment do I need to send back, besides the box?? If there is something on the dish(s) to disconnect, do I need to be an engineer to do it????? Thanks cloverboy

    Novice Troubleshooting

    Sorry for the novice question, but I've only had Dish for about a year, and need some advice before I call for service. I have a 522 DVR, and during the last month or so, have had some problems with some channels. Many of the channels when I turn to them, the screen stays black for about...

    Leaving Dish for Adelphia Cable

    811 Picture Quality

    Much Better Ok, hooked up the S-video cable, and SD picture from the 811 is much better and is similar to the 522 picture. I will just have to change the TV input when I want to watch HD, which is no problem. Thanks for the help........

    811 Picture Quality

    S-Video I will try the S-Video connection and see if that helps. I am currently connected with component cables, and the HD looks great. Never thought about using the S-video but will try it. Heck what's another wire back there. Thanks for the help, and it's good to know I'm not alone with...

    811 Picture Quality

    I am new to Dish, and have a 522 and 811 hooked up to an HD TV. When watching with the 522 tuner, the picture is fine. When I start using the 811, the HD picture is great, but all the SD channels are fuzzy, muted, and look like an old 70's TV picture. Is this normal picture quality for the...
