Re: Versus Channel

Cable co's are killing off analog cable / dropping channels and some hotels just have that and VS is not on analog.

Nope. Still don't know what you're talking about. 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

I left DirecTV and went to WOW because my trees got bigger!

Plus, you can't beat WOW's customer service.

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.

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

I didn't say it was a justification either. I said it was an excuse.

for a long time wow as lacking channels that do have HD like TNT, ESPN 2 and they still don't have csn chicago + HD.

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.

Quantity does not equal quality. Many of the HD channels airing suck in the first place so who really cares?
This is a lame ass excuse for justifying a lack of HD channels. WOW's HD lineup is pathetic compared to their competitors. That's the bottom line.

What's ironic is that COMCAST owns VERSUS.

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.

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.
