    Triple Play install trip report

    I'm writing my experience with switching from E* to Cablevision triple play. This may give some new signups some expectations and what to possibly expect. Order: Central NJ. Signed up for triple play (already had cable modem service). I ordered 1 HD DVR, 1 regular DVR, 1 regular box...

    Optimum Voice: keeping number immediate?

    Thanks for the quick response. I just remember when I originally inquired about VOIP from another company (over a year ago) they said there could be up to a 40 day wait.

    Optimum Voice: keeping number immediate?

    You have to pay $40 to keep your old number when signing up for VOIP service through C*. I have verizon currently. Will the number transfer be immediate or do they assign me a temporary number until it is switched? I forgot to ask them and don't feel like sitting on the phone for 30 minutes...

    New Install q's: cable quality, pricing

    How much is the rental fee? How much is your bill after taxes and fees? I just want to get an idea so I can prepare to get yelled at by the boss.

    New Install q's: cable quality, pricing

    I'm switching from E* to CV next tuesday. When E* did their install last year, they used brand new high quality cable. I have existing really old and probably poor cable hooked up in my house already from the previous owner. Will the tech install new cable or try to use my old hookups? I'm...

    Did I make a mistake with Dish?

    Happened to me for the first time this weekend. It did give a couple minutes warning of a downpour. I'm not thrilled with Dish so far - I've had it for almost 3 months. I know when I go from the free 180 channels to 60, it's going to be even worse. I figured it would be cool to get HDTV -...

    NJ User - Cannot watch majority of MLB games

    If NESN is part of the 180 package and I don't live in New England, why is it blacked out? I can see if they were playing the Yankees or Mets or even a PA team but it's always blacked out.

    NJ User - Cannot watch majority of MLB games

    I was under the impression that I could see many 'out of market' games at the expense of not getting the YES Network by signing up for Dish. I'm from Boston but live in Central NJ. I would like to watch some Red Sox games, especially since I see they carry NESN. Unless the game is on ESPN, I...

    Component Cable Quality for HD Receiver

    I got Dish less than a month ago with a HD Receiver. It came with component cables that look pretty sturdy. I was wondering if the cables it comes with are high quality or not. I don't have anything to compare them to so I don't know if my picture is suffering or not. I would like to get the...
