Re: New Wedding Themed Channel In August

Just when I thought they could not come up with a better waste of bandwidth. Makes you long for ala carte programmnig. Watch the charges go up to support this new channel.

What was this VOOM? I only recently acquired an HD cable box. I bet it was something good if they took it away.

A wedding channel? You've got to be kidding. I want FOX Business!

They had a channel that showed nothing but old Kung-Fu flicks. I miss that channel.

ARGH!

If anyone at Cablevision is listening, nobody wanted this channel. It will just end up splitting up the same content from WE into another channel. C'mon guys, give us BBC America, Discovery Health and LMN already.

They're too preoccupied with their "blame-storming" sessions to listen to us.

ps For those who have not seen them, they are some very funny commercials.

As long as this P.O.S. is not taking up HD bandwith then good luck to them with that endeavor, they're gonna need it.

I never watch SD unless it is absolutely 100% necessary to see a program on Fox Soccer Channel and the Encore and Starz channels that aren't in HD, other than that I never move out of the 700-800 range.

Good luck with that CV, just don't bother making it HD, the picture quality already blows. Let us be able to at least see when a person smiles or frowns in HD for crying out loud, the blurfest is getting ridiculous.

Reminds me of an old SNL recurring skit that took place in a mall, at the "scotch tape store", which only sold tape.

Who the hell thought the "Wedding Channel" up and how much in kickbacks are they getting for it?

That has got to be one of the most useless wastes of bandwidth there could possibly be.

BBC America, which would be watched by more subscribers, they can't give us, but this they have no problem finding room for.

Well, they own this new Wedding Channel, but they should take a hint that nobody else is gonna carry it.

We have all the other Discovery channels, I don't know why we don't have Discovery Health.

I guess it is not surprising that in a male dominated Internet forum nobody sees any use in a wedding channel. I wonder how many 15-25 year old women frequent this forum and how many in general might find a wedding channel interesting. I assume that is the targeted demography.

Not in that age demographic, but I am female and I see no use for it.

Doesn't show in the IO channel lineup for the Morris system or IMDb's listings for here oddly enough.

But another waste of bandwidth for more female garbage we don't need. Get more general or male oriented programming since we're usually the ones paying the bills.

it's live in Port Jefferson. Just the channel, no show descriptions yet. I think my box rebooted itself this morning too. Not sure if they sent any update or anything though.

My box rebooted on it's own this afternoon first the sound just went away along with the picture.. the controls on the front did nothing but a few seconds later off went the box then it reboots.

Don't worry, if they ever add BBC America it will probably go in IO Gold or IO Silver like Sleuth and Chiller did. Why those two channels got put into a premium package like that is just very strange.

That would be great. They can call it the "Chick Pack". Stick The Wedding Channel, Lifetime, We, HSN, Oxygen, QVC, Style, E!, etc. and charge $4.95/month. I like that idea!!

Isn't it funny that everyone wants all the channels they don't watch put in a tier, but would be the first ones to scream if they put the channels they do watch into one.

I am on the GOLD tier ... and yet I'd still have to pay for the sports pak. That, my friend, is ridiculous. All of these channels (including Wedding Channel, WE, NHL, Outdoor) should be 'free' when you PAY for the gold tier.

This is great news. I'm sure it is one big infomercial - and lots of revenue paid to the Cablevision, that will keep our rates down. Bandwidth of on SD channel is well worth it.

Re: New Wedding Themed Channel In August

Damn, I was hoping it wouldn't see any sign of it. I look at the IO channel lineups and it's now there on mine and the rest of the IO lineups now. I bet it's going to come online in the overnight update tonight.

Combine the women/lifestyle/gay channels together and call it something like 'The Gay/women's lifestyle tier' or what not.

Update: Channel is up and running here in the Morris System.

I find it funny for the outcry of GETTING a new channel. Even if its one they may not be interested in. I for one don't really care about the "Wedding Channel". But I like the fact that its there.

I NEVER watch Chiller or Sleuth. NEVER. But I like that their there and maybe one day I'll see something coming up that I like.

Yet people barely rose up and protested when Cablevison got RID of 15 HD channels. (Voom) All people did was say good their gone, who watches those stupid Voom channels anyway.

I want Tennis HD. (Which I barely would watch, but I want it.)

And I also want:

BBC America
Fox Business Channel HD
Smithsonian HD
NFL Network HD

Now when the hell does someone have the time to watch all these channels?

It doesn't matter, I want them all.

I'm getting married in a month, and this channel doesn't even interest me. What a waste.

BBC, NasaTV, nah...The Weddng Channel? Reminds me of that scene from Back to the Future 2 where Marty McFly's kid (in 2015), puts on like 8 channels on the big screem simultaneously and one is an artwork channel that just shows pieces of art, and some other channel else like "scenery" that just showed random photos.

That's because you're the groom, the channel is geared to women.

Same with me. NasaTV is free to air (so I hear) ,but CV won't pick it up.
