Sterling Heights, MI | I feel bad for the Chicago people. No NHL Network, No CBC and No Versus. You should all come move over here to Metro Detroit.  | |

1 edit | Verus is available in other WIDEOPENWEST outlets except chicago.
I'm listening to the president of Verus saying it's WOW's fault for not carrying Versus in chicago. VS. says that they offered a contract and WOW is not accepting.
This was on 670 the score interview on 5/19/2009
Boers & Bernstein 5pm Hour 5/19/09
Matt and Dan talk with Versus President Jamie Davis and also discuss the Chicago Cubs. | |

Utica, MI | Re: Versus Channel VS. probably wants too much for the channel than WOW is willing to pay for that 1 market. These sports channels need to pull their heads out of their asses and stop ripping the tv companies off, especially lame ones like VS. | |

| Re: Versus Channel I didn't say that was a justification for WOW's lack of HD channels. Quit assuming I am. I was say to him that just because DTV has 200HD channels, doesn't make them the best when a large majority barely offer anything in HD, and many suck in general. | |

Chicagoland sports fans want there teams in HD and all teams have all games home and road in HD NOW.
other city's don't do that yet. | |

| I am a WOW customer and can't believe that there is no VS. HD or VS at all. The HD lineup is lame, regardless to what Comcast offers. Also the OnDemand is pathetic, Comcast KILLs WOW in OnDemand services, I can honestly say the OnDemand service is completely worthless. | |

I am a WOW customer and can't believe that there is no VS. HD or VS at all. I have VS. with WOW. Sucks to be all you guys in Chicago. Or ones that refuse to get more than analog tv service.
The HD lineup is lame, regardless to what Comcast offers. No more or less lame than Comcasts. I don't have any major problem with WOW's current HD lineup. It has pretty much all the HD channels that show anything worth a damn.
Also the OnDemand is pathetic, Comcast KILLs WOW in OnDemand services, I can honestly say the OnDemand service is completely worthless. VOD costs $$$$$$. Comcast has lots of $$$$$$, WOW does not. VOD is just an added bonus, it was never there in the beginning. Try DTVs VOD service. Oh, wait, they don't have it, unless you have a DVR and you let it download the show to it. lol  | |

Utica, MI | Re: Versus Channel I don't have a 2-3 second delay. So I'm not sure what you're talking about. As for queuing, cable is already able to do that without having to wait, that's the whole point of VOD. It's already queued up. | |

Sounds like you're making things up again. When you watch a VOD program and FF it then press Play,The program does not start at the location when you pressed Play; like with a DVR. It is delayed and you miss 3-5 seconds of the program.
Back on topic, I thought this was funny and I wonder if the Hotel had WOW.
Red Wings goaltender can't watch Canes-Pens series because hotels don't carry the channel
