    CableVision DVR's?

    Correct, in fact I hear that CV will stay with two SD/HD boxes (4200 and 4250). They are not buying DVR-boxes. They are deploying their RS-DVR (network dvr) service soon.

    HGTV Gone...

    NEW DVR Features

    I definitely agree that Cablevision overcompresses their digital channels. I've been able to compare Dish network and Cablevision's HD channels on my 37" LCD HDTV. I understand that cablevision still uses MPEG2 and Dish uses MPEG4 compression for their HD. For the SD, both Cablevision and Dish...

    I bet HBO, CINEMAX and showtime would follow eventually.

    Upcoming HD Channels

    Yeah, I want to see more HD with cablevision. What are they waiting for? Capacity issues? Pricing issues? They also need a better looking UI on these Scientific explorer boxes.

    Could CV be losing customers?

    I don't know of anyone who has been able to avoid the charge, even with complaining. One way around it is that if you already subscribe to a premium channel, then the nav package is included.

    Could CV be losing customers?

    At a minimum, they will charge $5 for IO nav package along with the digital box. This charge, apparently, can't be avoided.

    analog channels turning off?

    What I've seen is people without boxes with family cable, they get forced into getting a digital box and that's where this fee comes in. I know what your saying about the premiums, if you subscribe to one, then you would not charged extra.

    [CABLEVISION] Update: (No Deal Yet for CV)

    They didn't mention SNY at all

    New Channels no hd

    No new HD channels, that's dissappointing. Nothing about SportsnetNY, yet . I think Cablevision has bandwith issues. They need to get rid of more analog channels and move them to digital quicker.

    analog channels turning off?

    Oh, by the way. If you get a digital box without any IO package, you will be charged the required $4.95 IO navigation package. Even if the cable box price is the same, you'll be paying more.

    analog channels turning off?

    Most of the premiums here are on digital already. We still have about 5 analog premiums(HBO,cinemax,encore,etc).

    analog channels turning off?

    I only got a notice that they are shutting down Fittv in march. They removed a PPV channel on 2/1/06. So, the rumor is not true for central NJ. Eventually they will do digital simulcast with the existing analog channels.

    Any new HD channels on the horizon??

    That really sucks, the satellite providers like DISH network have more HD channels that Cablevision.
