Well, it's not clear that Cablevision knows anything about the logo. D* has been touting MSG-HD and FSNY-HD on its website for quite a while now (close to a year), and it hasn't happened. Why didn't CV sue them up to now? Fact is, no one who is posting here really knows. The real key question...

I guess it was the "Dont make the mistake of thinking it wont exist with a different provider like I did.." but you may have been referring to the TNT-HD flickering. Sorry if my inference was incorrect, but I've got it now. Thanks. =NLK=

Hey, no flickering TNT-HD on Cablevision/LI. :) I've read here and elsewhere that E* HD is "higher quality" than is D*, except for Voom. I had figured that the problems with HD I had been seeing were due to that supposed difference, and that if I indeed switched from D* to E* I would get...

I will say this: an HD techie or junkie I'm not. I wouldn't know resolution from bitrate. But watching the playoffs on TNTHD (via D*) is painful. Everytime someone moves it looks like they were beamed down by Scotty; i.e. there's a breakup (I don't know if that's what you mean by "flickering")...

Well, if you subscribe to CI and receive NONE of them, then something is wrong. I have seen HD hockey on D* occasionally (in the 90s). If the feed that CI is using on D* is broadcasting in HD and you are eligible to get it (e.g. it's your local station or it's OOM entirely) then D* MIGHT put it...

What exactly is it that you're getting screwed over? What do you think will be better with D* (e.g. price, service, reception)? Reason I ask is that I'm thinking of going the OTHER way, mainly because (as I've posted before) the AT9 dish is a no-go for me and it seems that E* is actively...

Just to commiserate. I have a 360 as well and I've held off posting but for the last several weeks it's been the same with me. TNT-HD, HDNet Movies, YesHD (Nets game in the 90s), unwatcheable. I've had complete blackouts for about 5 seconds, spontaneous reboots, and pixelization/breakup as you...

I am waiting... as I posted elsewhere, getting the new dish mounted is going to be a problem for me. Plus there's no reason to switch since D* isn't giving me any additional channels, at least for now. I thought MAYBE the rumours about PBS-HD were true with D* trying to give an incentive to...

You bring up a good point, one that I've been thinking about for awhile. In my opinion, one of the reasons for D*'s tremendous growth has been their perception of what's important to customers. Even though it may have compromised quality, even precluded some less popular international...

I couldn't agree more. One piece of advice my daddy gave me (among some others) was "NEVER let anyone nail or screw ANYTHING into your roof. Period." If you have alrealdy done it and don't have water leaks, great, but I wouldn't tempt fate again. Either use the same mount or screw the new mount...

timmac: I have your concerns as well. I know this is a bit provincial, but if this upgrade is not going to increase the HD offerings available to us (i.e. NYC area) I'll hold off. I already get the big four in HD; I thought we also might get UPN, WB and PBS in HD, in which case the bigger dish...

I was in your position 5 years ago and, if I had it to do over again, would follow the other advice in this thread. 4 Coax (mix of cable/satellite and DVR extra tuners) plus Cat5 (at least one to every room, obviously more to a computer room) and TWO phone lines. Clearly you don't have to...

Well that makes perfect sense (bummer for those who don't get OLN on their system or if it's only offered on an extra-pay tier). The problem, as I'm sure you realize, is that OTHER games were blacked out; i.e. ones not shown on OLN. We shall see about this next time. :) =NLK=

That post seems to indicate only that D* doesn't have a contract with MSG to show the Buffalo Sabres games. That wouldn't apply to the local MSG/FSNY stations. Besides, if D* didn't have a contract with MSG one would expect not to get ANY MSG programming, which of course we do. There's...

That's "shinola", I think. :) I have heard said that the local Cable systems are getting the games, so we can only conclude it's D*'s problem. I'll go out on a limb and tell you EXACTLY what I think is going to happen. The blackouts won't be fixed tonight and D* will issue an apology...

Yea, I realize that MSG is split and 627 is supposedly the extra channel carrying the Buffalo feed of the game. But 621 is/was the Islander feed and on top of that now 624 (FSNY) carrying the Devils game is blacked out. I'm on the phone now with a D* rep but I'm not holding out any hope of them...

I'm in the NYC Area and get MSG and FSNY, so that normally I will get all local teams' broadcasts (Devils, Islanders, Rangers). I was sitting in front of my TV (D*) watching the Islanders game on MSG and all of a sudden got the "Program not available in your area". Would anyone knowledgeable in...

Man, glad I found this thread, thought I was going crazy. I posted this problem with my 360 on another board and no one knew anything about it. In MY case the lockup is contemporaneous with guide flakiness; i.e. the guide will show "Upcoming" programs for many channels, not the current one...

As mentioned above, the out-of-synch and jumping issues that plagued the Sammy (and apparently some other receivers) on 720p stations was fixed, reportedly at the source. There is STILL an audio dropout and double-skip problem on some HD stations but this is something that is happening with...

LonghornXP Although I just registered I've been visiting this board regularly and enjoy the rumours, gossip etc. and in particular your posts. I think you are trying to give us information that you think is useful but we've just got to realize that the nature of things at D* is such that...
