Re: [northeast] Lost HBO West(s), MSNBC, getting fed up said by GeekNJ :
What would be a more appropriate response is "You are the only one that has called in with the problem.". If I had gotten a response like that instead of the generic "it's a problem with your house," I'd have been somewhat more satisfied.
As far as I know, I'm the only person in this development with the TV service (others that I know have internet and phone but not TV).
said by MagScribe :
Guess it's not a problem of someone's home wiring or ONT. Feel free to call the FSC people and start slapping 'em around. They've already scheduled for two people to come out tomorrow (a "foreman" and a "normal repair" guy). Should I cancel the appointment (seeing as how it's not just me; technicians coming out would just be a waste of everyone's time)?
During my morning commute this morning, I decided to call up Encore to see if they would be willing to credit me - a gruff person said that they don't handle credit for downtime, that I'd have to talk to the FSC (uh, right, which explains why Encore credited me for all the downtime and problems last month) and I ended up getting bounced around different departments.
And while I write this post during a break, I'm watching TV through the Slingbox - the channel that I watch for left-of-center commentary is flickering on and off, something that it wasn't doing all of yesterday.
What a mess. I'm still looking for some sort of corporate address that I can write a letter to complain to about this less-than-ideal service.
Edit: And there it goes, it's back up, just like that. |

Waldwick, NJ | HBO West works fine for me in Northern NJ. We don't have MSNBC though so I can't check. |

| MSNBC is back, but not HBO-W. Issues remain at the FSC...and it would be nice if someone were to come on here from VZ and acknowledge it.

Waldwick, NJ | They say it has to do with some contract with CV/MSNBC but I haven't heard anything official. Just seems odd that NY, served by CV, has MSNBC and SNY-HD and Northern NJ doesn't. |
