Re: [Cable] Dallas/Ft Worth Metro Vol I -- Time Warner
Of all the many gripes I have with TW over Comcast (no espn2hd, no nfltv, limited ondemand, etc), the worst is the overnight quality change of hbohd and shotimehd....the "flicker" is the worst...and Ive verified it with a couple friends across the metroplex. I dont know what causes it but in dark scenes it is annoyingly evident. |

| I can confirm this on HBO HD.. It was very noticeable during War of the Worlds the other night...
Sattelite is looking better and better... |

| The dreaded ad in the guide is gone, thank goodness. Scathing emails seem to have some effect.
Also --
I received a Time Warner Cable catalog in the mail today. Two things are disturbing, from an HDTV perspective -
1. HDNet and HDNet Movies are not listed on the page where they talk about HD.
2. UniversalHD is listed though, and it is not even in the channel lineup. What gives? |

Probably to make the government happy... and to regionalize there systems... (I know that doesn't quiet make sense with the Houston swap but...) |

| No, we didn't have espn2 HD here in Frisco. As of today we have less service for the same amount of money... Hmm, not a very good first impression TW. |

Frisco, TX | no, we didnt have espn2hd solely because the market was slated for TW takeover, all other comcast markets had/have espn2hd. |

TW has HDNet and Universal on their lineup. They're in the $3 HD tier. In Richardson, the channels numbers are 795 and 805. They also just added ESPN2HD (not on a tier) at channel 785. |
