    HD image quality

    I have been a TIVO user and understand why people balk at the 8300HD...but hey, I didn't have to buy my box and I do get to save all my SD and HD programming for later viewing. I even added an external hard drive for extra capacity. I'm kinda suprised that Cablevision tech is having issues...

    HD: What's Next and When?

    What about SciFi? I can't believe Animal Planet is so high on your list? I know SciFi doesn't have a huge HD selection, but it has what I like...Atlantis, Gallactical...etc. I worry about having HD versions of "rerun channels" that will only be digital (no HD) TV...much like TBS.

    Cheapest HBO?

    Cablevision is raising prices. I'm looking at DirecTV and Echostar as an alternative, but I'm also considering just living on OTA-high def with a TIVO. With that said, what would be my cheapest way to get HBO, not counting just recording my favorite shows at someone else's house?

    Optimum cost sans TV service?

    What does Optimum Online cost without Cable TV service? If it's on the website it is buried. Also what would Internet service and VOIP cost alone?

    Cablevision will hike cable rates

    In regards to Cablevision's set rate increase... I dropped my Gold package to the Silver and I cancelled HBO on Demand (a waste with a DVR) I was considering a 2nd DVR but considering the $1.50 premium channel mirror fee and the extra DVR fee, that plan is canned. :( I'm looking at DirecTV...

    Cablevision will hike cable rates

    I wouldn't say VOOM sucks...it's "something" to satisfy and new HDTV set, but VOOM is pretty boring. My favorite channel WAS the Monster Channel but they repeat soooo much. I got to watch HD Galactica reruns on UHD awhile back and am now craving the SciFi channel in HD. The Channel 710...

    Pixelation Issue

    Exactly my answer. My HD channels have been but but the low end analog and digital SD channels were pixelating and making crackling sounds. I was too busy to complain but I did see Optimum trucks in the area and after some days the problem when away.

    QAM Channels? Voom?

    I too have contemplated a change to a cablecard set. But I hear alot of complaints about the cards...just getting a box adds stability and doesn't cost much more than the card.
