I would like to see Boomerang on the digital line-up. It would be great nostalgia for the adults, and at the same time introduce children to great cartoons of the past. I miss the original Looney Toons, because the Loonatics cartoon series is a mangle mess. |

I am very happy with it here in Champaign. Love having three new HD channels (with two more on the way soon). And I also like the new On Demand Content. |

You won't believe it. I voted "Yes but it needs some work...". Now with that in mind it ( Digital 2.0 ) wasn't very well thought out in my opinion. The design does not take ease of use and functionality into account. Most customers will be just plain frustrated trying to use it. Yes I'm aware with change frustration comes. But you can ease this with good design and a bit of everyday logic. Whoever tested this either didn't give good feedback or their feedback was ignored.
Maybe I've missed it. But can you even search easily by category? I mean - since the time has been taken to put all the channels in their supposed perspective categories. Can you actually search the channels in this same manner. If you can I've not seen anything that would logically lead me to the conclusion that I could.
Lets not even get into how the hardware running this new product is still a very sorry excuse for technology.
Can we vote on how many times the hardware lags and almost completely locks up while performing simple task? Can a vote be taken about how many people here have reported this type of behavior time and again? Will a vote be taken asking who feels the DVR units can't handle their job? A memory upgrade would do them a lot of good.

I just want to be able to plug a usb or firewire harddrive in to expand the recording. It can be encrypted, but those tiny harddrives blow balls. |

Not enough Bandwith, due to the pure fact that they have decided to keep a bunch of Analog stations to appease those that do not want to move to Digital. Insight needs to start going around with the DCT-700 for those that do not want the 25xx series box, and start upgrading to the 3xxx series boxes to start the move to ADS.

Actually, they could get SIX channels worth of bandwidth quite easily by simply getting rid of all the analog premiums on our system alone! It surprises me that we are one of the last systems that still has THIS many premiums still in analog. (most cable systems have either totally ditched analog premiums, or at least cut them down to the 1-2 top ones, not only for this reason, but because of so many people that were using pirate analog boxes & getting them all for FREE!)
I would bet that since at least a good majority of premium subs have digital boxes, it would NOT be that hard to the get the rest on digital as well. Not to mention those same subs would be getting MORE screens of those same premiums. |

So are these channels actually DIGITAL signals? Or are they just analog signals on digital range channels? I'm trying to decide if it's worth the 12 bucks.
And, how much more is one of the DVR's that have bigger hard drives?

I just wish I had the option to block out channel 2 -> 100 in my guide. Why keep them there if there duplicated again above channel 100 it just more crap I stroll past when I am surfing the guide for something to watch. The page down button on my remote is already showing wear.
My vote “ needs work… “ |

You are dead on correct but 90% of Insight customers are basic cable subscribers that going to be a lot of 7XX boxes. It’s not like that had not happen before in that past. Back in the late 70’s early 80’s when NOBODY had a “cable ready” TV basic cable was channel 2-> 13. You want you MTV? Rent the “decoder box” and everybody howled about that. To this day it is why people hates the cable company’s but they still pay the bill every month.
I say send basic cable back to the basic channel 2-> 13 . Switch all the “Cable plus” stuff to digital. Once the FCC mandates the turning off of the analog broadcast station then you can even zap the 2-> 13 channels |

Springfield, IL | Problem is, CATV companies have to keep a certain amount of Analog, due to FCC made sure. That is why we will always see Analog. Of course with this new overlay of certain Extended Basic Channels, no doubt you will be seeing them disappearing from the Basic lineup. That way those that are the holdouts will have to get a box to get the channels.
Comcast did this, along with a couple of others, and guess what, the move to total digital started right after that.
