Re: [Cable] Dallas/Ft Worth Metro Vol I -- Time Warner
Originally, the A/B lines were controlled by the tuner box so you could switch to the "A" or "B" side with your remote. With the advent of TV's with built-in tuners -- you could get rid of the tuner box but you had to either manually switch between "A" and "B" or in some TV's such as Sony they have dual "Antenna-IN" slots in back. With Digital Cable boxes you don't need to manually switch between "A" and "B". |

Thanks for the overview, so if the digital cable box combines the A/B signals, why can't people in those areas get a Dual Tuner model? |

It's a switch that mounts on back of box where the A/B cables come in.
They have not released a version of Dual Tuner box that would allow the same type of switch to be mounted and work properly in combination with box.
Hopefully within 18 months or so as currently planned A/B systems will be no more in Dallas.

"Hopefully within 18 months or so as currently planned A/B systems will be no more in Dallas."
In other words, as they have told us they are looking to be finishing up 18 months from now.
"Did you say 18 months? I was under the assumption it was a top priority. If it is really going to take 18 months, I may have to check elsewhere..."
For a large area as Dallas that is pretty good as a priority. Knowing how construction and such works there are many factors to consider that can happen beyond the scope of work.
They are starting in Richardson I believe and working from there. Considering I'm not directly in construction department I am unaware of details, but they are definitely working on now.

| I was seeing some confusion on who had what ads on their guide. I'm in 75067 zip and this is what we are seeing. I saw some were complaining. I have called, but is their a email address anyone is using to send in these complaints? Also, whats funny is the brochure they sent out about the new channel line up. If you look at their features on the iguide(right page of the channel lineup pullout) it shows a picture of the guide WITHOUT ads, hmm false advertising?
Here is what I'm seeing,

You don't have to rewire every apartment to go from dual like to single line. All the signal will go through 1 of the drops vs. split across two drops....lol
And yes, this is a time consuming project... miles and miles of plant will have to be replaced... |

Frisco, TX | So has anyone called for pricing on the new channel lineup coming in september? it looks like they will attempt to tier you to death. looking at austin prices expect about a 15.00/mth increase for similar tv vs comcast.
just great. |

| Hmm, don't know about *new* channels, but did anyone else see their ad in today's edition of the Dallas Morning News (page 10A):
"...will discontinue carriage of the NFL Channel, effective September 3, 2006. We are continuing to negotiate...[blah blah blah]" |

Oops...I might have spoken too soon about there being a current price increase with TWC (although it sounds like they could be looming according to other posts here). Apparently I had ~$30 credit on my bill (it was still in transition) so when I thought it was $118, it was probably more like $148 w/o discounts. Still not sure if I'll stick with cable, but now it appears I would have had the decision to make whether TWC took over, or not. Just wanted to straighten that out... |

I was signed up for auto bill pay through Comcast, will that transfer over to TWC or do I need to set that up again? |

| I wasn't on auto bill pay, but to be able to pay through the TWC web site I had to go through the "new user" login process. Once I did, they had all my previous payment info saved for my account. So the setup is just for using their site -- your payment info & preferences should be transferred already. |

Lately my digital simulcast channels (660, 661, etc) have become unwatchable (drop-outs so bad the picture disappears) and the analog channels have become horrible, too.
I know it's gonna look bad on the HD-TV, but now they're almost unwatchable on the regular TV, too.
Anybody else having the same problem?
It started pretty much around the time TWC took over.
Not very promising so far...:-(
BTW, does anyone know why GoalTV isn't in the sports package? |
