Re: [Cable] Dallas/Ft Worth Metro Vol I -- Time Warner

reply to dennis1x36
Thanks for the overview, so if the digital cable box combines the A/B signals, why can't people in those areas get a Dual Tuner model?

reply to dennis1x36
It's a switch that mounts on back of box where the A/B cables come in.
They have not released a version of Dual Tuner box that would allow the same type of switch to be mounted and work properly in combination with box.

Hopefully within 18 months or so as currently planned A/B systems will be no more in Dallas.

Did you say 18 months? I was under the assumption it was a top priority. If it is really going to take 18 months, I may have to check elsewhere...

"Hopefully within 18 months or so as currently planned A/B systems will be no more in Dallas."

In other words, as they have told us they are looking to be finishing up 18 months from now.

"Did you say 18 months? I was under the assumption it was a top priority. If it is really going to take 18 months, I may have to check elsewhere..."

For a large area as Dallas that is pretty good as a priority. Knowing how construction and such works there are many factors to consider that can happen beyond the scope of work.

They are starting in Richardson I believe and working from there. Considering I'm not directly in construction department I am unaware of details, but they are definitely working on now.

Did anyone else get an automatic reboot on their box this am around 10:15 or so... Just wondering what they were up to... Firmware and software vers. are the same..

My auto reboot (75248) came late yesterday afternoon. Searched a little, but didn't notice any changes.

I was seeing some confusion on who had what ads on their guide. I'm in 75067 zip and this is what we are seeing. I saw some were complaining. I have called, but is their a email address anyone is using to send in these complaints? Also, whats funny is the brochure they sent out about the new channel line up. If you look at their features on the iguide(right page of the channel lineup pullout) it shows a picture of the guide WITHOUT ads, hmm false advertising?

Here is what I'm seeing,

Anyone else experiencing an outage tonight? I'm uptown & mine started around 9. Still not back on. First 2hrs w/o power last week & now no Entourage!

reply to acksman
Seen the same brochure with no Ad on bottom. I am seeing same as your pic in 75253.

I would call 972-742-5892 and/or fill this out:

Unless someone else can post an email address that has gotten better results.

reply to littlelibo
well what did you expect. you have to rewire every home and practically every apartment in the dfw area do you think it will happen over nite.

reply to dennis1x36
You don't have to rewire every apartment to go from dual like to single line. All the signal will go through 1 of the drops vs. split across two drops....lol

And yes, this is a time consuming project... miles and miles of plant will have to be replaced...

So has anyone called for pricing on the new channel lineup coming in september? it looks like they will attempt to tier you to death. looking at austin prices expect about a 15.00/mth increase for similar tv vs comcast.

just great.

reply to dennis1x36
My Ad is back....

Does anyone know of any new channels that are being added to the new channel lineup - any hope that we get CSTV or ESPNU?

Hmm, don't know about *new* channels, but did anyone else see their ad in today's edition of the Dallas Morning News (page 10A):

"...will discontinue carriage of the NFL Channel, effective September 3, 2006. We are continuing to negotiate...[blah blah blah]"

reply to IFLYSWA
Oops...I might have spoken too soon about there being a current price increase with TWC (although it sounds like they could be looming according to other posts here). Apparently I had ~$30 credit on my bill (it was still in transition) so when I thought it was $118, it was probably more like $148 w/o discounts. Still not sure if I'll stick with cable, but now it appears I would have had the decision to make whether TWC took over, or not. Just wanted to straighten that out...

reply to dennis1x36
I was signed up for auto bill pay through Comcast, will that transfer over to TWC or do I need to set that up again?

I wasn't on auto bill pay, but to be able to pay through the TWC web site I had to go through the "new user" login process. Once I did, they had all my previous payment info saved for my account. So the setup is just for using their site -- your payment info & preferences should be transferred already.

Lately my digital simulcast channels (660, 661, etc) have become unwatchable (drop-outs so bad the picture disappears) and the analog channels have become horrible, too.
I know it's gonna look bad on the HD-TV, but now they're almost unwatchable on the regular TV, too.

Anybody else having the same problem?
It started pretty much around the time TWC took over.
Not very promising so far...:-(

BTW, does anyone know why GoalTV isn't in the sports package?
