This is primarily because of the bandwidth being cleared up with our digital transition that will remove analog signal. In the areas that this has already happened and channels have already been added we are hearing many customers are quite pleased with the addition of these HD counterparts for channels commonly watched. Some areas have already seen the addition of even more additional SD and HD channels not previously on the lineup and you can look forward to these in the future once the transition is completed.

You can get more information on this digital transition here: »mediacomcable.com/GetDigital/

MediacomChad,

The line-up here »www.mediacomtoday-lineup ··· _mn.aspx says: Effective date: December 21, 2011

But in my market, these two channels have not showed up yet:
886 Starz Edge HD*
887 Starz Comedy HD*

Can you take a look into it please?

Note: they have not been added to the Mediacom HD DCT or the Cablecard channel line-up yet.

Thanks!

When my kids were younger, whenever we did long trips (such as our trips home to Minnesota to visit family, for instance), in response to the inevitable question of how much longer, I always answered "hours and hours" no matter what it really was.

With Mediacom I would just presume it will be "days and days," and more likely "weeks and weeks," if not "months and months," until something is activated, and just accept that. Change in the Mediacom world just seems to take that long no matter what the change might be, as they seem to run on their own clock.

The point in both examples is to accept the need for patience.

I apologize for the delay in getting back with you, I somehow missed the notification for this thread. I dropped the ball and am very sorry. I'm checking for an update now and moved your ticket to Monday and should know something soon. One of the guys who can give me more info will be in today and I'll check with him when he gets here to see if he is aware of anything. I'll let you know asap, sorry about that.

This is an issue at our DAC and they are still working to resolve this. Hoping it should be fixed soon.

Could be an internal ticket and it does not mean a tech visit so don't worry.
