Re: [Cable] Dallas/Ft Worth Metro Vol I -- Time Warner That makes sense since they are getting rid of expanded basic. They'll have the room to add more. I hope we get even more later in the year. |

okay so I was channel surfing and I noticed on Spike that Time Warner was going to take away that channel plus MTV, Nick and TV Land, will this be for all the citys that Have Time Warner including North Texas, I watch all of thoses channels and if this happends, I have no choice but to go with Dish or Direct, It sucks because we Time Warner is the only thing in Southeast Dallas, my area we have Sudden Link which is the Cable provider for Seagoville and Balch Springs but I need more HD Channels. I just so sick of Time Warner ever since, internet sucks and I went to DSL ATT. Theres no U-Verse here yet, and definetly no Fios which I love so much since my sister used to have to but moved to the "getto" part of Irving. Now my DSL goes down also so I'm haveing bad luck here. Now whats going to happen? If they reach a deal, I'll keep Time Warner, but if not I think I have to deal to dramatic changes. |

I have a 6416 dual tuner dvr that frequently "freezes/pauses" when responding to the remote. Does TW offer a newer version dvr that might fix this issue? |

It isn't the box, but rather the decades old software TWC is using. They've done it since at least 2005 so don't expect them to get fixed anytime soon. Use the 30 second skip... It works a little better. |

To say TWC is "taking them away" is not quite the right slant. I would put the blame on Viacom.
Read all of this.

To outright blame TWC for this isn't exactly right. These issues show up with every provider. TWC, DirecTV, Dish, FiOS. They all have carriage issues of this nature with the providers. |

Well I meant that they were taking the channels away because they didnt get the deal, but the ad there were talkin about was on todays Morning News and there going to be a lot of channels n I would watch MTV, Nick channels and Logo. |
|
| I do watch some shows on VH1 Classic, and my kid watches some shows on the kids channels. I suspect either this will get resolved in the 11th hour (literally), or it will go black for 2-3 days.
I do have the MLB Network starting tomorrow, so I'll be watching a lot of that.  |

| reply to dennis1x36
so MLB is now added? |
|
1 edit | The channel launches at 5PM local time here in Dallas tomorrow. I did notice that 198 MLB is on the channel lineup on TWC's website, but if you try going there, there's nothing. But that's not surprising since the launch is tomorrow.
What I'm really disappointed with is TWC is not carrying the HD version. Especially when I see other TWC's around the country listing it.

1 edit | Ah. I just focused in on "MLB up".
Do you have any idea why we're not getting the HD feed in the Dallas area? Several other TWC regions around the country are. |
|
| I just hope we get the HD feed by opening day. It would be nice before then but i wanna see live games in HD on there. |
|
| When I got up this morning, I noticed that 198 is there on TWC. TiVo doesn't know about it yet, but that's not TWC's issue. Bummed there's no HD feed. |
