outsider0 posted : It is and is correctable - now, whether or not they have to go "oh, are you fucking kidding us?!" with what's shipping their digital stream, I dunno.

But it does break a lot.

We're not getting robbed here by any means, but the general idea is that the fucking TV works on a consistent basis.

Being able to watch said TV - particularly for housebound old folk - is a bit important too.

When it breaks, I get annoyed.

How and why? Can I maybe ask around and see if going digital on their far smaller network presented the same issues?

Some kind of answer before the billing cycle is up would be nice.

levis76 posted : Same issues in Sterling Hts tonight. Fox was horrible, both SD and HD. Bob's Burgers was unwatchable as was Family Guy due to pixelation and audio stutter. We've only had WOW! for a month and we're done already. Switching back to U-Verse this week.

EDIT: Added why the programming was unwatchable. Thanks Kronos.

Disappointed to see this is actually going on widespread.

tunes posted : Same here in Grosse Ile, MI. Busy signal when calling for support too. I've been with WOW for 10 years, but I'm done. Calling the only other cable franchise in my township tomorrow.

This has been going on almost every night for weeks. If it was in WOW's power to fix it would already be fixed.

dibrando1 posted : There was a wide spread outage in Michigan that started on New Year's Eve. All of the outage nodes have been cleared. If any problems are still persisting make sure that all of the coax cable ends are clear of any corrosion or condensation by unhooking them and blowing on them. It would also help to power cycle your box by unplugging it from the power source and plugging it back in so that the receiver can get a refresh.

JasonMichael posted : Okay, I just got off the phone with WOW - a work order is being placed for at least my area - Detroit (probably all Michigan).

The CSR said I was the first person to call in today about the issue today, so People!... if you're having trouble still - call them.

I think everyone will start using "WOW" in the wrong way, like WOW, this service is horrible.

I appreciate everything WOW does, but it's getting really bad and ridiculous lately...
