    Voom HD is Coming June 26th through 28th

    I certainly hope so. All the cable companies have been making this claim in response to Directv. The one thing i hate is when they say capacity for "x" number of HD channels. They can tell you they will have the capacity for 10,000 channels that doesn't mean they will add 1 anytime soon. As...

    More HD, kinda

    Good and bad Wow this is good in that they should be full time but bad in that now I lost all hope of us getting a new channel to replace INHD2. Looks like Yes and SNY will be eating up that bandwidth

    NFL Network

    I'm not pilling on the "evil" cable company as you put it. THe point is the Hypocrisy. Cablevision which owns MSG/FSNY has no problem forcing it on the lowestest tier but they want me to belive they are looking out for my best intrest now. YOu keep saying I don't have to buy MSG/FSNY. Last time...

    NFL Network

    Lets not play the sad song for cable companies. Cablevision which we were talking about only has 4 mill subs so even at $1 a sub thats 4mill a monthor 48 mill a year. Some how I don't think thats going to brake the bank for cv. Yes the NFL is being somewhat unreasonable but the truth is cable...

    NFL Network

    The problem with that is cv doesn't have a problem charging people and extra 4 bucks a month for MSG/FSNY another channel that the MAJORITY of people don't want. I guess its only ok when you own the channel. Always find in funny when cable companies claim bloody murder on channel prices yet they...

    4250 hd box

    Question Looking at the Scientific atlanta site it looks like these boxes still support VOD and all the stuff that is said to be missing from consumer cable card boxes. How is this possible?

    Wasted Channels!

    Public access has it uses but some times its really overkill. In NYC we get 9. 4 NYC pub access 4 bronx channels and a cuny channel. One or two is all thats need, they have a hard enough time filling up 1 or 2 never mind 9. Take away 5-6 of those analog channels all of a sudden you have space...

    Wasted Channels!

    They could just turn them into 24hr Cablevision infomercial channels like what directv and I think TW does because honestly thats all they are. It really is a waste to have the channel guide on 100 as it's a "digital" channel guide. You can't see the channels listed on it unless you have a...

    Wasted Channels!

    Well to ans your questions. On the guide channels 14 and 100, while I agree they should be done away with, there are some people that don't have cableboxes. So I guess until analogs are completely shut of they will continue to run these channels. In the case of NBA TV and MTV espanol...

    NEW HD Local Channel -MY HD9 Available Thursday September 14, 2006

    I don't think it would cost extra for ch9 because aren't they just using YES's broadcast gear. MSG did the WPIX-HD games when the mets were on MSG and I think SNY is handling the hd feeds foe WPIX now. I'm not 100% on this but I think It would be up to YES if they want to do the ch9 games in HD...

    Cablevision's Dolan drops out of US wireless sale

    Wow Does cv have no friends in the industry? Why in the world did they try and go in alone agaist these large companies. I really don't understand if they are interested in the "quadruple play" why not join the comcast,sprint group.

    New Channels, Includes TCM

    We can only hope, There talking about converting 7+ analog channels to digital which would free up spcae fore 14-21+ hd channels. That would be enough to finnaly add all the voom channels as well as someothers like MHD,ESPN2HD,NGHD,Foodhd,HGTV-HD. So lets keep our fingers crossed.

    TV Guide Spot

    Seriously doubt it. I think the reason cv dumped the tv guide channel in favor of the Tribune channel guide was because the tv guide channel didn't allow them to run the endless advertising that they currently do on channel 14/100. Tv guide sells there own ad time in addition to ad time for what...

    Rumor, Unofficial, unconfirmed and unverified....Speculation on the next wave of...

    I guess its good news that they are atleast talking to them or is that just what they want CS reps to say. Although they are right NY team fans won't miss any games but they just show they don't understand the NFL is a completely different animal to other sports. They fail to understand that...

    Rumor, Unofficial, unconfirmed and unverified....Speculation on the next wave of...

    Well, that good news for those who don't currently get TCM. On the other note does the NFL network talk also include the HD channel? Also for the person who said their friend saw a couple hd channels added in a town but only to some cv employees. Any ideas what those HD channels are?

    The NFL Network gets agressive with TWC and other lame cable ops

    Interesting article on SNY and NFL Network http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20060729/1064938.asp Basically the article says it will be forceing SNY on NY DMA subscribers in a basic tier regardless of if they want it or not. So basically the excuse of not wanting to force NFL network on...

    Would Ala CArt really be so bad? + Broadcast Basic..

    Well once again what you think of as "good content" alot of people might think really sucks. Speaking of voom you talking of channels thats not yet offered by cv, it will be completely different if people startt losing channels they already have and love. I.E. how pissed will Scifi fans be if...

    Would Ala CArt really be so bad? + Broadcast Basic..

    One thing you guys might not know is cv view of al la carte isn't offering you just the channels you want. They want the government to force the broadcasters to sell channels individially to cable companies. If that happens they want to sell smaller packages but not sell them individually to...

    It could also be your router some older routers have a 10mbps wan port while the newer ones have a 10/100mb[s wan port. Since your getting more the 1mbps upload I would lean toward the router. Also if your connecting wirelessly your will also see a drop in speed.

    Cheapest Way to get YES on HD?

    Now don't take this the wrong way but it seems kind of a waste to have a HDTV plasma and still have an old analog box. But like the previous poster said the best way would be to go cable card. Not only will you get YES-HD but all the other HD channels that have corresponding channels in SD. Only...
