    Spectrum "Choice" Retention Package? Anyone?

    we got the tripled play a few years ago. Bought three Tivos with lifetime on them and setup all our own equipment. Bill was ~$95 total when we started. After the first year, it went up to ~$130. Then, after the second year and SPectrum took over, we are now paying ~$165. It's still not too...

    Most Pay TV Subscribers Stay Because It’s Bundled With Broadband, Survey Finds

    Yep. We were upset to see our bill go up ~$30 after the transition to spectrum was complete. We have all 3 services, and the total price is still cheaper than we paid for each one individually. We did inquire about making changes after the price increase, and if we were to drop TV and only...

    TIME WARNER NOW SPECTRUM

    Get READY... Things have been switching from TWC to Spectrum over the past few months here. Just got the first official bill from Spectrum, and it was ~$30 more than it has been for the past 1.5 years......... Called and got the "your 12-month promotional price ended" line, even though we...

    Thinking of switching to cable from satellite... questions

    we ditched satellite over a year ago. between satellite, internet, and home phone- we were paying over $200/mo. We jumped on the TWC (now spectrum) $89/mo triple play. We purchased 3 TivoHD units with lifetime. We refused to get any cable box from them due to the crazy fees, and we requested...

    Equipment and Cable Card Questions

    you cannot own a TWC box. They will barely let you own a modem. Their boxes stink any anyway. if you want to own your own equipment- get a tivo or setup a pc. we are saving big $$$$ this way.

    Time Warner Cable Promises to Kill the Cable Box

    Yes, STELAR put an end to the cablecard, but yet satellite providers still use cards for their security. without a doubt, twc is pushing for an all out IP based security system. it is cheaper, easier, and more secure. you used to be able to take a cablebox from one location and use it at...

    Time Warner Cable Promises to Kill the Cable Box

    it probably has more to do with the cable cards. a tivo will not have any cable channel in HD without it. the roku, otoh, works just fine.

    Time Warner Cable Promises to Kill the Cable Box

    The roku works amazingly well on TWC. we have 3 tivos and 3 rokus. if they find a way to incorporate a dvr feature with the roku app, then there will be no need for a cable box.

    picture quality

    as stated- depends on your area and your equipment. we left dish for twc, and purchased our own tivos. the quality is excellent and definitely better than dish. we pay $120 total for the triple play bundle. we are saving ~$100/month and have tv on every single television. The roku app with...

    Cisco ST1520 Tuning Adapter

    well, we have one tuning adapter that is still giving problems. 2 work perfect, bit one continues to show DAVIC:? under the RF statistics. We have already replaced the line going to it, and that has not helped. twc sent a re-authorization, and we watched it say "waiting respon" but still...

    yea, but most providers pull that. if a customer doesn't complain, they don't just offer.

    Time Warner Cable Loses 184,000 TV Customers on the Quarter

    that is for sure. we purchased tivos as equipment fees are insane (all providers). again, it is hard to admit, but the PQ is freaking outstanding. they have come a long way over the years. TWC offers RedZone for $8/mo. that is sweet!! With DN, we would have to upgrade our programming package...

    Time Warner Cable Loses 184,000 TV Customers on the Quarter

    we have had TWC internet for ~15 years- it has always been great. we stuck to satellite for tv because cable just could not compare. after the latest price increases (satellite and phone), we weighed our options and decided to give the $89 triple play bundle a try. granted, like with dish, we...

    Cisco ST1520 Tuning Adapter

    always use chat support. it's the easiest and they are always knowledgeable. they sent a re-authorization the other day, and it corrected 1 of the boxes. 2 continue to give this issue. it doesn't bother us much, considering none of the main channels we watch are effected. if it becomes...

    Cisco ST1520 Tuning Adapter

    yeah, they are all connected to TivoHD w/ cable cards. it's strange. One one set, ie, channel 106 (discovery) will say unavailable. When we unplug the TA, the channel will start working. We then reconnect the TA and the channel will continue to work until the TA syncs. then it will say...

    Cisco ST1520 Tuning Adapter

    twc sent us 3 of these. it seems we constantly have to reboot them. they will work for a while, then some channels will say "currently unavailable" or just be a grey screen. anyone else experiencing the same?

    Time Warner Cable Loses 184,000 TV Customers on the Quarter

    we have had TWC internet for ~15 years. it has always been awesome and rock solid. we just recently left dish, and signed up for their triple play. The phone is crystal clear, and as hard as it is to admit.... the HD is fantastic. we now get over double the speed (extreme) and downloading...

    Time Warner Cable Loses 184,000 TV Customers on the Quarter

    it's funny how that works. we have it for the alarm and the occasional fax. we have had twc internet for almost 15 years now, but always preferred satellite. it's difficult to go OTA and streaming only. we have free (crappy) cable from another provider in the area, but when you invest in...

    Time Warner Cable Loses 184,000 TV Customers on the Quarter

    we just ordered this. it was a long process as we needed to make sure the rep understood we did not want any of their equipment. if we just ordered as is, the $89.99 bundle would have been $115.49 before tax. So yeah, after tax and fees for the modem and the FREE (lol) HD box, that would be...

    TWC to Charge Lease Fee for Company Owned Cable Modems Starting 10/15/2012 (Nationwide)

    freaking TWC. they got a lot of heat from customers over this, and did this last month: "Time Warner Cable said its Internet customers will see faster download speeds beginning this month without having to pay more. The bump essentially moves most subscribers up to the speeds the next higher...
