<title>Optimum App for Laptop</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26783641</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://www.optimum.net/OptimumDesktop/landing

I received a robot call yesterday from the mother ship yesterday which directed me to the link above.

"Watch Live TV on your laptop!

You are invited to participate in a limited trial of the Optimum App for Laptop. The Optimum App for Laptop transforms your laptop into an additional TV in your home. As an iO TV subscriber, you now can watch live TV on your laptop while in your home and connected to your Optimum modem.

This application will be available to select customers in your area for a limited time as part of a customer trial.

App Features:

Live TV

I tried installing the app on my desktop machine as I hardly ever use a laptop around the house.  I got the following error message:

"We're sorry, but this computer's setup is not compatible with the Optimum App.

Here's why:

   1. We're sorry -- the Optimum App for Laptop supports only laptop computers without external displays connected."

Wish they would release an Android app I could use on my tablet instead.]]></description>

<title>Modem randomly restarts during downloads</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26809516</link>
<description><![CDATA[The modem randomly restarts when I get download speeds of above 1.0 MB/s+. This happens anywhere from 20 mins to around 4 hours of downloding anything where the speed goes above 1.0 mb/s. Had a tech repair guy come over today, all he did was replace a splitter which did not help with my problem at all, he was very dubious that I had a problem, and I don't have access to logs or anything like that to show him. After he left though i figured out that docsdiag has can show the modem's log so I did that and decided to come here to see if anyone can help me out. Here is the log:

<title>[OOL] Modem or Router dropping connection?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26864145</link>
<description><![CDATA[I need some help. For the last 3-4 weeks I have been getting horrible speeds and latency in prime time hours. It can be perfect all day but as soon as 8-11 est hit My latency will go from 30-100+ connecting to a chicago data center. DL speeds will drop from 50+ to 10-15ms. Recently however also almost everyday I lose internet connection. The lights are all locked on my modem (Arris) and my router is giving off a signal to all devices but no internet is established. this ONLY gets fixed when i unplug and replug the modem. I thought maybe it was a router issue but it has happened on both a cheap belkin and my linksys e4200 also trying to just unplug and replug the router alone to reset it doesnt work. I checked the logs on my modem and see numerous DHCP RENEWAL WARNINGS and something like T3 CONNECTION TIMEOUT. I really dont know what any of that means and a technician is coming tomorrow but any help or info here to prepare me for the visit would be appreciated.

thanks,]]></description>

<title>[Optimum Voice] voicemail file format discrepancy</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26865410</link>
<description><![CDATA[Has anyone else noticed that the copy of the voicemail file on OV's site is in .mp3, but if you get the email notifications, it's saved as .wav?

I'm sure this was all good last century, but who still has their Windows PDA's any more? Know how much trouble it is to find a droid app that can play the .wav? Been through 6 of them already from Market, and none of them recognize the file. It is really not worth the trouble to start playing with codecs.

Why can't the notification emails have .mp3 as well? The files would be generally smaller, saving OV storage space.]]></description>

<title>Samsung HD set top -- which setting 108i or 720p</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26860623</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a Panasonic 720p plasma TV and just switched to the DVR Plus service and traded in the SA DVR box that I was using for that TV  for the Samsung box.   In setting the Samsung box up,  I needed to pick 1920X1080i or 1280x720p.   I tried both and really can't tell a difference. Does it matter?  Should it matter?
Thank you.]]></description>

<title>[OOL] 5th channel now bonded in Morris County system</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26867836</link>
<description><![CDATA[Around 1 AM my modems disconnected for about 15 minutes...after they came back online I now have 5 bonded downstream channels.  That means anyone in the Morris County system still using a Moto SBV6220 needs to get a Cisco DPQ3212 or an Arris TM802G or TM822G to be able to have all bonded downstream channels at once since the SBV6220 is limited to 4 bonded downstream channels only.   One of these days Upstream Bonding will be great when it comes around.]]></description>

<title>4th channel bonded in BK (11204)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26861822</link>
<description><![CDATA[So...it looks like 4th channel was bonded in my area(11204) last Wed...
my IP & Gateway changed from 24.184.xxx.xxx to 67.84.xxx.xxx.
Since then the link seems actually more temperamental i.e. more congestion at night, variable latency(spikes) and bandwidth tests less consistent than previously, though within range. I was under impression that having more channels bonded would improve conditions not worsen.
Also, all geo-location services miscalculate my location as Freehold, NJ or Marlboro, NJ. I'm not familiar with algorithms used to pin point that, maybe its DNS based as in CDN location calculations but its odd to say the least. I just hope that the routing is proper.
Now, my downstream power levels are not ideal but still within spec range and are the same as with 3 channels previously; the upstream power level is actually marginally better (lower). So, I do not know what to attribute this change in quality of service other than addition of another channel and different routing.
 Anyone care to comment? Thanks.  ]]></description>

<title>Burglary ring posing as Cablevision installers.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26825608</link>
<description><![CDATA[ quote:EAST PATCHOGUE - Police have arrested a group of men who they say are responsible for at least a half-dozen house break-ins in Suffolk County.

According to investigators, the leader of the burglary ring was 41-year-old Francisco Sanchez, who worked for Nationwide, a subcontractor hired by Cablevision to install its services.

Sanchez and his alleged accomplices were apprehended Friday, when detectives who happened to be in the Patchogue area received a call about a burglary on Haig Avenue. As officers pulled up, they observed a man coming out from the backyard and into the driveway. That is when police arrested 19-year-old Marvin Escobar.

Sanchez and two other men were arrested shortly after when police say they spotted a van circling the area.

Police say Sanchez would scope out a neighborhood and look for vacant homes that would be easier to burglarize.

<title>Regarding Servers and OOL</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26855594</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi
  I am looking to set up a easy way to transfer a few documents back and forth between several locations and a "central" location.  Basically I am looking to send daily reports but different business locations(no copyright infringement) and it would only be about a mb each day.  Since the information is sensitive I would like to create a server out of a computer I have.

  I did look at the FAQ and I just wanted to verify that I indeed can't access a computer on my network through FTP (I tried setting up a Server Client - Gene6).  I tried different ports but it always times out.  

  It was also mentioned in the FAQ that if I subscribe to boost I would have access to some ports.  So would that solve my problem?

  Last, if there is a different/easier way to do this could someone please help me out?

  I am sorry if these questions are redundant or idiotic but I am fairly new to this and am trying to learn about what I need to do to get the sort of setup I am looking for.

Thanks so much for any help
Chris]]></description>

<title>CV workers attempting to unionize (CWA)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26798776</link>
<description><![CDATA[ said by NY Times :They describe themselves as beaten-up workhorses, these burly fellows with linebacker shoulders and bass-register voices.

Four men sit in a union hall on a darkened stretch of Utica Avenue in Brooklyn, talking about life as cable installers for Cablevision and efforts to bring in a union, in this case the Communication Workers of America.
...
Cablevision Systems Corporation, run by James L. Dolan, has hired a premier anti-union law firm. The company began an internal Web site called &#147;Why Union Free?&#148; and required 285 Brooklyn employees to attend anti-union meetings. The union vote is Jan. 26.
