    HD Channel List: Dish Network vs DirectTV

    I wish Dish would turn on the SciFi ch. & locals here in W. Palm Beach into HD. I can't believe Dish thought the golf ch. was so important that they have it it HD, but no SciFi ch.

    Any suggestions for a 2 tuner non-HD DVR unit?

    Wow, You sure said a lot. I love the interactive cable guide and I use the on demand feature religiously. As I just got the SA 8300 unit I will evaluate it and get back to you in a couple weeks. However, I just brought back an SA8000 DVR unit that worked fine. If what you say is indeed...

    Any suggestions for a 2 tuner non-HD DVR unit?

    1) How does HBO's signal get to Tivo if C-cast does not support Tivo? How much does the S# cost? Why did you buy a Tivo instead of just using the C-cast DVR? I just sent a DVR back to Dish and it worked fine for 2 yrs. Then cable got me on a nice promo. As I really liked the DVR it made...

    Any suggestions for a 2 tuner non-HD DVR unit?

    Hi, I did not know until yesterday that Tivo was not a combo unit. The Comcast rep told me I would still need an SA receiver. So what's the big deal about TiVo? If I need two units to get the job done that doesn't make any sense at all. At this time I have picked up an SA 8300 from Comcast...

    Comcast - $39.95mo for digital,HBO, HD, DVR?

    Good point. I hate having contracts with anybody. My 2 yr. lease with Dish expired on 6/6/07 and I'm sending back their equip. I got a 12 mo. promo from C-cast- I already had HS Internet through cable. I got a promo that gave me HSI, classic cable with HBO & Starz, and 1 digi receiver. The...

    Any suggestions for a 2 tuner non-HD DVR unit?

    Sa 8000 I don't follow what you're saying. I pulled various pages & schematics from the SA site. According to what they say: 1) The Main-(To TV) output jacks go there. 2) The # 2 set of Out Jacks- ( To a VCR) supposedly only send a signal from recorded programs in the 8000's HD. 3) The...

    Any suggestions for a 2 tuner non-HD DVR unit?

    DVR Cable Box HI, Today I went to C-cast and picked up an SA Explorer 8000 unit. It works fine, BUT the 2nd set of output jacks don't work. There is also a 3rd set of jacks called Aux. in that according to SA's site are to go to a DVD player or a VCR?? Do you or anyone else know why the...

    Any suggestions for a 2 tuner non-HD DVR unit?

    Hi, I picked up an SA-8300 HD DVR/Rec. and my big screen is 6 yrs. old. in the past it has had convergence problems and does a good job with SD signals. It just won't give a decent HD pic and I am returning it tomorrow. I tried to find out what C-cast offers in DVRs w/ 2 tuners, but can't...

    Need Info on SA-2200

    Hi, I see a square with an eye in the center of it just left of the 1st digit in the panel. The only other thing behind there on the left of the square is a resister. Thanks for your help. I did register with SA, but alas no owner's manual. BTW, Does your cable co. break into your pay channels...

    Anyone in WPB, Fl have interruptions in programs??

    Last night at the beginning of the Sopranos a loud noise from the weather bur. cancels out the sound on HBO. This was followed by an announcement about the weather. I had to listen to this about 10 times between 5 PM and 9 PM or so. I just got C-cast and had Dish for the last 2 yrs. Can...

    Need Info on SA-2200

    I tried that. I also watched the 2 areas behind the plastic front and still can't figure out where the beam hits. What I don't understand is why C-cast offers no owner's manual. I have talked to 3 reps and nobody has ever seen a book for the SA 2200. When I got receivers from Dish I got books...

    Need Info on SA-2200

    Hi, I have an SA Explorer 2200 from C-cast on a promo. I want to hook it up with my HP Media Ctr. PC so I can record some shows on the HD. The HP book says I need to connect a "Remote control sensor cable" from the HP transmitter to the infrared receiver window on the front of the 2200. I...

    Why is C-cast so expensive on DVR rentals?

    Hi, I am on a promo with C-cast. They gave me a reg. rec. & told me if I wanted an addl. DVR machine it would be something like $13/mo. + tax. Can someone tell me why they charge $13 when Dish charges $6/mo. ? I know it may seem silly, but I'm not rich and every dollar counts. Thanks.

    Any good or very bad Comcast stories?

    Well, I got C-cast a month ago. I still have Dish & I can honestly say Dish and I had no big problems. I still have a DVR and the top 100 chs. with Dish until June 6th when my lease runs out. I may keep the DVR & the same pkg. as the SciFi ch. comes in poorly on C-cast. Here's the deal- I...

    What DVR unit is used in W. Palm Beach, Fl?

    I only have exp. with a Dish DVR. I take it with cable if I got my own DVR it won't work unless C-cast activates it. But, I asked a rep about having my own unit & she said C-cast won't let me use my own unit. Is that the way it is for everyone?? I would much rather not pay a rental fee of course.

    Comcast Nightmare

    You can always cancel if you know who to call and how you should act on the phone. I had cable for years until Dish was a much better programming deal for me. Now my HSI went up $15/mo. However, I got lucky and got a good promo for 12 months. I find the digi picture on both is quite good...

    What DVR unit is used in W. Palm Beach, Fl?

    Thanks. I got installed today and got an SA 2200 Explorer. Nice digital picture, but some analog chs. are fuzzy and weaker. I tried a small amp, but it didn't matter. I just really care about Sci Fi on #68. Box is very good otherwise. If I hook up a DVR do I need activation for it to work?

    Any good or very bad Comcast stories?

    I used to work for Adelphia-(Now C-cast) in W. Palm Beach, FL. As a rep I could obtain permission on a individual request for lower rates after a promo expired. It happened on occasion, BUT it only was granted to customers who pd. on time every month and that were long term subscribers. I don't...

    HI, I currently have Dish for basic programming. I also have high speed internet with Comcast as of this week. I am paying $42.95/mo. for HSI, but C-cast is raising the rate to $57.95 on April 1st. If I subscribe to basic cable the rate goes back to $42.95. I really don't watch more than...
