    Grande Communications

    My DirecTV contract finally ended and AT&T could not offer me anything to keep me from switching over to Grande for TV with saving money and finally getting ESPN back and other channels. Direct TV is too expensive and more so if you do not bundle with AT&T Internet. Which not an option as we...

    TWC International channels

    I got a call from TWC in Dallas to try one of the Hindi packages for free for a few months. So I took the offer as my parents have them with Dish. I was shocked at the PQ of the channels on TWC the picture seems either squashed on some channels or stretched on others, and almost all of the...

    Cox Internet and TV

    I've noticed lately with Cox in our city that the installer only put a filter in place for TV if you have a sat dish on your property! Otherwise they tend to not place a filter on the line so you can get the free local channels on your TV with out needing the off air antenna.

    Any COX Ciities get an HD TV Guide

    An update it seems the 8642HDC DVR the newest DVR offered by Cox by Cisco had an HD guide. The only issue is the HD Guide doesn't fill the entire screen, but a good step forward. Also the older SA dvr boxes (some models) but those DVR boxes are pretty outdated.

    Cox service here in Gainesville FL our Cox TV Guide is in SD format which is a headache to look at on an HD TV. Any cities served by Cox have an HD TV Guide? I would imagine the big cities that Cox serves have an HD TV Guide?

    No discounts or Price Match

    The second time I called I finally got my wish granted with getting Cox to match Direct TV for the TV service. Also got the internet upgraded for free from 18mbps to 28mbps all for six months. Took a lot of hassle with Cox, but someone at Cox cared to earn my business.

    Cox Analog Channels

    After coming back to Cox after 10yrs, and using them for one year!! It was time to go back to Dish. The black outs on the new HD channels are annoying, the Micro blocking like a scratched DVD are annoying, and then the nice price hike made Cox too expensive for the offerings. Being a 10yr Dish...

    Cox Analog Channels

    Has Cox started turning off Analog channels in any Cox served markets yet? Hopefully Cox will follow Cablevision, and Comcast in turning off the Analog Channels to free up space for Digital Channels / Programming. Knowing Cox they will be last ones to do this.

    No, not far away to get them.. Actually did do the OTA stuff for about two years with an Attic installed Antenna. Got all of the channels most of the time, but had a lot of multi-path issues. Now I'll just wait for Dish or Direct to get my locals in HD. (Unless COX has a price increase)...

    Why is Cox 10 Years behind Dish,DTV Etc.

    Well at least here as soon as either Direct TV or Dish Network upload the Gainesville HD channels then Cox will start bleeding here. Once both or one of those providers have the local channels in HD there is no point having Cox for TV service as they provide nothing here that the other two...
