    Channels in the thousands

    So a lot of times when I watch my DVR (channel 1000) and I finish my show, I hit the channel up button which brings me to channel 2. A few days ago, it brought me to channel 1035 (ESPN2). I continued to "Channel Up" and noticed all the local sports channels are now in SD in the 1000 range. There...

    HD DVR

    That's my plan, I was just curious if an HD-DVR will work on a non HDTV. I imagine it will.

    HD DVR

    I need to buy a DVR for the bedroom. I have and HD DVR downstairs on my HDTV. The bedroom TV is not an HDTV. My question is, can I get another HD DVR and hook it up to a non-HDTV? Down the road, I will probably get an HDTV in the bedroom. I figure if I am swapping out boxes, I might as well get...

    My DVR expander device

    When I was buying mine, the WD were impossible to find. I went with the 500g from Apricorn. If you can swing it, I would pay $150 for the 1T model. Mine was $180 for the 500g when I bought it. Apricorn DVR Expander

    NHL Center Ice Free Preview

    I saw on a DTV forum that they are getting letters that there is a free preview of Center Ice Feb 16-22....maybe that's for all systems?

    where are you? I'll have to check when I get home, but I'm in central NJ and I am usually the last day for these things too.

    Triple Play

    You can call them and tell them you are going to cancel. My co-worker called to cancel his, and they gave him another year at the same price. I don't know for sure that they will do the same thing for you, but if you are going to cancel because of the rates, it's worth a shot. Worst they can say...

    Another issue...

    any idea what happened or what he did? Just in case I run in to the same situation down the line.

    Another issue...

    unsupported is correct. Cablevision won't support the drive, you'd have to check with Apricorn. But, this is one of the recommended drives from Cablevision. So, while Cablevision acknowledges and approves the use of Apricorn drives with the 8300 boxes, the user (myself included) still takes the...

    Another issue...

    I don't think he's blaming Cablevision....He asked if anyone had the same issue with the DVR expander after the update and then mentioned he is probably leaving Cablevision soon anyway, so he would've lost those recordings at some point.......that's my take anyway.

    Another issue...

    I have the 500g DVR expander and as far as I can tell, it still works fine after the update. I would call their technical support (1-800-458-5448).

    Cartoon Network (Family Guy)

    I'll check, but my co-worker has the exact same issues with this channel.

    Cartoon Network (Family Guy)

    So, sometimes I like to watch Family Guy on Cartoon Network (11pm-12am M-Th). I noticed that MANY times, the picture will be pixilated or freeze or even go black. Sometimes there is no audio, sometimes there is continued audio with a frozen or black picture. The first time, I re-booted the box...

    NHL Network HD free??????

    Would be sweet, but I imagine like all others, it's only "free" if you have the sports pack subscription. Just like I don't subscribe normally to Cinemax, so I don't get that channel in HD.

    Optimum Voice

    um...yeah....?

    Optimum Voice

    Man, they won't budge. I spoke with sales and he wouldn't give me any deals, period. I went to cancel my OV installation and he was like "ok". I spoke with a sales manager and he was no help. I explained how a friend went to drop OV after the 1 year and they gave him a 2nd year at the promo...

    Optimum Voice

    Thanks, Remy! I am pretty much over the fence. Now I just have to convince the wife and get them to give me the $30 for each service deal for a year. I don't qualify for it since I have both TV and Internet. The deal is "technically" only for those who have ONLY TV or ONLY Internet. I'll get...

    Optimum Voice

    Thanks, that's good to know. The rep told me it would be the SB5100. I'll find out. Do you have the service? Are you happy with it?

    Optimum Voice

    I am thinking of switching over from Verizon to Opt. Voice, but I was curious as to how many of you have it and if you are happy with it. Most of what I have been able to find elsewhere has been very positive. Also, do any of you use battery backup (either for the modem or via a UPS)? thanks

    5 New Channels Coming!

    When I get the channels, I will post back here if I have the NHL network. I don't pay for the sports pack. I live in NJ though, so we are usually the last to get them. For a while, I thought this forum was dead.....no posts since like Sept. 13

    Any New Channels coming soon?

    I haven't heard anything, but I HIGHLY doubt it. I would expect Jan. 1 to be the earliest we get anything more.
