Re: problem with digital channels said by BF69:Then don't advertise those channels as being part of exanded basic when it's CLEAR you'll have to upgrade to the digital tier to get them. you don't need a digital tier to get them, you just need a cable box, or cable card to decrypt them. if they weren't encrypted, then everyone with basic only, or internet only would receive those expanded channels. since they are part of the expanded line up, they have to encrypt them. The thread is almost as productive as talking about the NFL network. |

Listen first of all asked a LEGITMATE question. Second if you don't like MY thread you don't have to post in it. In fact I don't recall asking you to do so. if yo don't like my threads/post there is an ignore feature I suggest you use it. I'll be using it on you from now on. |

| said by BF69:which Charter will gladly charge you extra for. There's a cost to encryption, decryption, and authorization to keep people from stealing and the system open for future channel flexibility. It's not like Charter gets this stuff for free. Plus they're moving channels to digital to free up bandwidth for all the HD channels and internet speeds their users are demanding.
It's the nature of the industry. Comcast is doing it, Verizon FIOS is doing it, TWC is doing it, along with the majority of all the other cable providers. Others never gave you a choice, like Uverse, Dish and DirecTV.
