Why 792 between NHL Network and CBS Sports Network? Why not move Nat Geo from 726 to 778 next to Nat Geo Wild, move Fox News Channel to 726 matching it's lower SD channel number and being with the rest of the news channels and put the HD feed on 761 matching the SD channel number also being next to The Weather Channel? That would make alot more sense.

I think they are more concerned with getting their new software rolled out. I would imagine that they would eventually realign all the channel neighborhoods at some point too.

10 years of waiting for many things and now it's all done at once. This is either a good marketing strategy or something else.

With full digital either completed or completing soon in all regions, they have additional bandwidth for HD channels to work with.

The fact that they just cleared out the 200 range makes me hope a major channel reorganization is coming down the road.

Another hd channel my system wont get until it is completely cut over to 100 percent digital.

Lets make our customers wait months after they are notified about analog removal before we actually upgrade them to 100 percent digital, which is the most idiotic thing they have ever done. I think two weeks would have been suffice.

Correction, the second most idiotic thing, the first was rolling out a new program guide without testing it first.

With News 12 being CV-owned, I would actually guess that it will bet it goes everywhere regardless of full digital status.

I'm sure a lot of the staggering is because of the large number of people who will not get a box until they see the message on their TVs and/or don't read billing inserts. And it is my guess that the messages stay up because they stagger when groups of nodes are pulled so there is not a simultaneous run on the walk-in centers by even more people who need boxes. Keeps waits down and helps them ration supply so they have enough at any given time.

Im all for as many channels as possible in HD but the Showtime and Starz channels needs to be upgraded before this.

I would take no HD channels in exchange for them making the damn DVR plus and On Demand work the way it should without crazy lag and giving me the 30 second skip function back that the old DVR had.

Cablevision never offered any DVR with a 30 second skip.

What do you think you had, Tivo?

Never existed on a CV DVR in any way shape or form.

Sorry, must have been dreaming about my old Fios setup. Wish they would add it.

According to the CT PURA filing the Litchfield, CT system won't get it. I looked it up and they don't currently have a traffic and weather or a News 12 channel up their.

Everything about News 12 sucks. When I can see up to the minute Long Island information on CNN before News 12, it says it all.
Totally low budget especially the weather people. Do they even look outside their window on occasion?
