Hi everyone,
First post. Found this site yesterday and am very impressed with all the user feedback to people's questions.
I have a few newbish questions myself. First my situation.
Currently subscribe to TWC in the Cincinnati area. Other than one important issue, I'm fairly pleased with the service. PQ is good and I love the VOD service. I also like having access to a local retail outlet, precluding service calls when necessary, if it involves a simple hardware swap. My one big gripe is the lack of HD. We currently get the networks, Discovery, TNT, HDNET, HD Movies, and INHD. Like everyone else, we just lost INHD2 and as of yet, nothing has been added as a replacement.
I sent the following email to them this morning and received a rather bland response:
I'd like to know when TWC in the Cincy market will be expanding their HD channel line-up. I've been an HD customer for a couple of years now, and quite frankly, the line-up is pretty poor. Not only have you not expanded, but recently INHD2 went off the air and you haven't replaced it with anything. So I'm getting less for my money now than when I signed up. Looking over various internet forums ( avs.com, sattelliteguys.com, etc), it's obvious that not only would a solution like Directv or Dish offer more, but even other TWC markets have a greater selection of HD channels than Cincy.
I'm seriously considering a switch, but will hold off until I hear back on your future plans (and please, something a little more concrete than the usual "we are in negotiations with .....). That's not going to keep me as a customer with a monthly fee of over $100/month.
Thanks in advance for the feedback,
And the gem of a response I received:

Now I certainly didn't expect the response to state we will be adding the following channels on the following dates, but jeez a throw me a little bit of a bone, like stay tuned, there are several additions coming in XQ 2007....
So, with that, I'm thinking it's time to move on. I previously subscribed to D* back in the middle/late 90s as cable wasn't available in the area we lived. I was very much attracted by the availability of Sunday Ticket (lifelong Pats fan). This is still a big appeal for me, however I've seen the recent pricing for ST with HD and almost choked.
My main concerns are I've heard the reference to HD Lite and don't really understand, other than it involves compression, but I'm not sure how much that actually influences Hi Def PQ. The other issue is the commitment period. Not sure how long it is now, but are you really screwed if you're not pleased with the PQ? Is there some process early on in your commitment that allows you to opt out if you aren't satisfied?
I currently use the SA8300HD receiver with TWC and am fairly satisfied with it. Any comments on how it compares to what D* currently offers for an HD DVR?
Also, from what I've read here, I'm assuming I would have to do without VOD. If this is incorrect, please advise.
Thanks so much for any feedback and sorry for the long winded post.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
