    Flat Cables

    The last I found was on e-bay. Though I only needed about 5, several suppliers that provide in bulk have a presence there.

    Charter operating with no franchise agreement

    Here's an interesting story that made the front page of Sunday's Greenville News about Charter selling cable without a franchise agreement in place to do so (it expired). GreenvilleOnline.com -Local News-Charter sells cable without franchise agreement - (12/9/2007)

    Moving from DirectTV to Charter

    Well...here I am a year later, after going to Charter. My experience??? Well...I've already placed the order with Bellsouth/ATT to switch me back. I couldn't wait to ditch the TV service, so I have already reinitiated my DirecTV subscription. Once Charter got my Moxi DVR in here, and added...

    Charter Self-Install ?

    LOL...I know how to do just about everything that the Charter installers do, and really don't like other people messing around with my equipment. Other than my HD receiver box (which was an even swap), I've never been lucky enough to have them offer to let me install my own equipment. Heck, I...

    HD In Greenville, South Carolina

    I'm sorry if I'm bitter toward Charter, but I feel as though Charter has screwed their customers many times since they started in this market. I don't want to get started on this soapbox, however, because I have had several experiences myself with Charter (including incorrect billing and...

    HD In Greenville, South Carolina

    For the next 3 months, I'm double paying for DirecTV and Charter, before I move back to DirecTV/Bellsouth in the Greenville area. My wife and daughter hate the phone and (analog) tv service. The Moxi has problems. My gripe is that the Internet service appears to be slower for the same speed...

    HD In Greenville, South Carolina

    Also, if your buddy subscribes to a premium movie package (ex HBO, Cinemax), the HD version of the package comes with the HD package. (I don't subscribe to the movie channels, so I forgot about this).

    HD In Greenville, South Carolina

    The HD box is an additional $3 on top of what they charge for the regular digital box (which is something like $6/mo). Just take the current box to the office off I385 in Simpsonville & they will give some contract papers to fill out & hand out the new box. Currently, we get WYFF (NBC), WSPA...

    Is Greenville SC ever going to upgrade?

    I just happened to stumble across this webpage, which I wish every local government would initiate in order to track community perceptions of cable service. Though it is not an immediate solution, if you really want another company to take over the Charter franchise here in Greenville...

    Cable Installers & Criminal Backgrounds

    I thought this story was somewhat unsettling. Though, from the cable company's viewpoint, this is probably unavoidable. http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=96580

    Moving from DirectTV to Charter

    The main savings is with the telephone service.

    Moving from DirectTV to Charter

    One of the things I am happy with is the "quality" of the HD on Charter. (I never thought I would be equating quality & cable together -- LOL). But, I've read on AVSFORUM about pixelation and problematic reception on HD channels in other areas, and I've not noticed that on my Charter service.

    Moving from DirectTV to Charter

    Charter's package combining Phone, Internet, and Cable for about $100/month was about too good to pass up. About a month ago, I suspended my DirecTV account, packed away my DSL modem, and braced myself for Cable once again. So far, things have been tolerable. My main gripes are: 1)...
