Here we go again.... Man are they starting to piss me off. First it was the technical problems..those have continued. Every week or so my box magically gets unauthorized and I have to call in and have them zap it. I guess I've gotten used to that so it doesn't bother me as much. Now I...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THINGS SACRED AND HOLY!!!!!!!!! This is beyond ridiculous. I'm sitting here watching a show five minutes ago......suddenly the screen goes black and a message flashes on my screen that "your explorer settop box is not authorized for use..blahblahblah" For...

well, I have a problem with my DVR too. It's missing some options it's supposed to have in the software. Adelphia's suggestion was that I drive out myself to their main office way out in bumblef*ck and exchange it. They won't send a tech out or mail me a new one. Great customer service.

Oh, and get this----when I called about the HD locals being down AGAIN, they actually tried to sell me internet service!!!! LMFAO!!!! I told her that I'm a network admin for a living, and if my internet went down as often as my cable did, I'd be unemployed in no time at all!! You gotta be...

I knew this was going to happen. I dreaded going with adelphia from the very beginning. They sucked 4 years ago when I had them and they suck now. They're showing Star Wars AOTC in HD on my local fox station...so...I tune in to Fox HD, and whaddya know....all my HD locals are...

yep. Added here in miami too. Now when are they gonna add TMC and cinemax HD and the rest of the premium channels' HD lineups????

Wow! Do you have electricity and indoor plumbing yet?

That's the problem with my particular pile of crap. It doesn't have that setting anywhere in the menu. Believe me, I've checked. The only audio option I have is to set volume to fixed or variable. That's it.

lol..well, in case you missed my other thread, here's my last post from it. They are absolutely unbelievably and utterly horrible!!!!!!!! "For the love of god and all things sacred and holy, NOW WHAT THE F**K?!?!?!?!?!? So I turn my tv on and now all of my HD locals are gone. Black...

For the love of god and all things sacred and holy, NOW WHAT THE F**K?!?!?!?!?!? So I turn my tv on and now all of my HD locals are gone. Black screen on all of them. Had adelphia for less than 2 weeks and I've almost spent more time on the phone with their tech support than I have watching...

No problem. Perfectly understandable. Why do you think I chose this screen name??

umm...yeah. Come on now....give me a little credit here.

better remote??? wow. How bad was the 8000? I find the 8300 remote to be very cumbersome and not user-friendly at all. It's not the worst remote I've ever seen, but it could certainly use some improvement.

yeah, that finally did it. Aside from that, it seems like the software on it is missing some things. According to adelphia's CSR, in the settings menu there should be an option for audio settings where you can select digital or stereo. It seems it's missing on mine. Can anyone confirm...

Now the thing has stopped passing any 5.1 sound. All sound coming out of it is in regular stereo no matter if I use the coax or the optical. I double checked to make sure it's not my receiver by plugging in my dvd player to the same input the 8300 is on and it plays 5.1 just fine. I looked...

Tell me about it. I personally think it's going to get even worse now that they bought out adelphia. I have adelphia for now. I hate it. Some think comcast buying them out is a good thing. I'm not so sure it will be better for the customers. Comcast taking over adelphia's areas here will...

FWIW, it came back up yesterday but today it's down again with the same problem. This is ridiculous.

what was the response??

dodge, unfortunately that's not an option. I live in miami where the price of real estate has skyrocketed like you cannot imagine. I would love to be able to move somewhere else, but consider that even a small 2 bedroom apt that in reality is worth about 110K is selling here for 200K and up at...

cool. I'll check it out. Any other suggestions? I don't want to hit them over the head with the FCC rules since they're already aware of them and are really not objecting to dishes mounted on private patios. I just need to convince them to be nice and allow those who don't have a...

I realize all cable companies have problems like this, but I am also aware that adelphia consistently ranks as the worst cable co. in the US, and they seem to have more of these problems than the rest of the companies. Kind of fitting that as much as I bitched about having to get adelphia...

Ok, so it's the next day and still the same thing. Now, last night after talking to the CSR, I called a friend of mine who lives down the street and also has adelphia. He said his cable was up just fine. I called adelphia back and let them know this and asked them to zap the box just to be...

Had them for less than two weeks, get home, see a nice message on my screen. "Your EXPLORER settop is NOT AUTHORIZED for use." So I call...according to the CSR, the computer that sends the authorization signals to all the boxes in my area is down. How the hell?!?!? WTF?!?!?! Don't they...

I suppose. A dvr has never really been a deal maker/breaker for me, but as long as I have it, it would be nice to have this capability. Like I said, it's not really a complaint, but just a minor annoyance. I definitely have more options with the dvr as it is now than I did without a dvr...

Yeah, I suppose I could do that but it sure seems like a pain. I was hoping there was a "real" way to do this instead of some cumbersome workaround. It's not really a major issue, but it is definitely a small annoyance.
