No what we need is more bandwidth for the existing HD channels so they actually look like HD.

Yes, I know. I was hoping for a more specific answer, like an exact date.

I've heard "to be released soon" before. But what does that mean? Soon to me is next week, what does "soon" to CV mean?

SDV tuning adapters for Tivo.

Anyone know when the tuning adapters will finally be released by CV?

The new channels are SDV on the Woodbury system, even though the Voom channels weren't. The service call is a waste of time.

The stretching is done by the broadcasters. However, CV does additional compression on all the channels except broadcast stations(ABC, NBC,CBS,etc); RSNs(MSG, YES, SNY, etc) and ESPN 1&2.

Sorry, but mindlessly defending CV without regards to facts makes you a fanboy or possibly an employee. Fact #1: CV over-compresses all their HD offerings except broadcast HD, the local RSNS & ESPN(1&2). CV's compression causes numerous visual artifacts that reduce the quality of the picture...

I stay with them because it is my only option for MSGHD, trust me if Fios had it I'd be gone already. And maybe if more people complained about the poor quality HD they would have to do something about. I'd rather have half of the HD channels they currently have without the compression. And...

More compressed, low-bit rate supposed HD channels, yippee. Eliminate all the 4:1, HD channel/QAM and make them all 2:1, then I'll be impressed!

I don't need a link. The proof is right in the SA8300. If you look at the QAM channel assignments you will see that MOST QAM frequencies have 4 HD channels assigned to them. In order to squeeze that much into these QAMs you need to compress the bandwidth, in some cases from 18Mbs to 9Mbs...

Newsflash - Cablevision compresses the hell out of most of their HD channels reducing their bandwidth by 50% which destroys the quality of the HD channel. (i.e. all Voom Channels, MOJO, VSHD, NGHD, DiscoveryHD, TBSHD, TNTHD, etc...)

CV's HD lineup looks like garbage. They are all highly compressed except for broadcast networks and the RSNs.

CV has yet to prove that they can get SDV working properly. Also, when it does work, the quality is severely degraded over a dedicated channel.

They do not have capacity for 500 HD channels, that is a bold faced lie based on the ability to use SDV for 500 HD channels. They can't even get 15 SDV channels working! It is not a matter of how many HD channels CV has, it is the quality of them. Since they are jamming 4 HD channels into the...

The channels are all over-compressed they are putting 3 and 4 channels into each QAM. I don't care how many HD channels they have, most look like garbage.

I don't want ANY new HD channels until they fix the quality of the bit-rate starved ones they currently have.

Face it, Voom sucks and is a waste of limited bandwidth.

Just give me more bandwidth to the existing channels like VSHD, quality over quantity.

They don't have the bandwidth for the current channels that they have, they are overcompressed and have only been adding SDV channels, which don't work properly. You won't see 50 HD channels, so 500 is a dream.

CV's ability to offer 500 HD channels is BS. It would have to be implemented via Switched Digital Video(SDV). And they have thus far not proven that they have the ability to do that reliably, e.g. the International Channels & NHL Center Ice have been plagued with problems and the quality is...

Where's the HD version?

There is a problem with scheduling a recording on any NHL Center Ice channel. It appears to be a compatibility problem with SDV as the issue is occurring on the International Channels as well, according to a forum on DSL reports. If you try to record while tuned to the channel then it works...

Once the games go on tonight the screen will be blank.

Anyone know what the delay for NHL Center Ice is? Indemand came to an agreement already does CV have to come up with a separate agreement with NHL to show it?
