Re: Maybe its because digital cable sucks?
Yeah I agree.
Here in Time Warner Country we've recently gotten the DVR's, and they make all the difference. It's Tivo, but without the phone line, and it uses the digital program guide to simply let you click on a program name, and record....or pause live TV, etc....well worth it I think.
Though there's certainly still bugs. |

Do you have to get digital cable if you want cable TV service at all or can you still get basic cable?

| It's all based around that program guide, so you need to upgrade to digital....
I bundle it all, Cable, digital, DVR, for a little over $100 a month....
And amazingly, there's still not a lot on worth watching.  |

Time Warner recently upgraded my area to digital cable, and I've currently got everything they offer except for Roadrunner. I've talked with some Time Warner reps, and they tell me that VoD and DVR services should be available by May at the latest. They already have some early adopters using a few of the new cable boxes that have come in to Time Warner for the new services. I'm looking forward to getting these services and hopefully a new upgraded cable box with a better IPG.

Do you still need to throw more money at it to get premium (HBO, Cinemax, etc.) channels? The last time I was over at a friend who had digital through Comcast, he told me he had to pay more to get those channels.
If this is indeed the case, it makes digital even more worthless. If the cable companies put on some content that I might be interested in and I might change my mind about it

| Well, TW offers something they call the "Galaxy" package...it's basically everything they offer for a little over 100 bucks a month.....
Since I'm a big movie buff I went for that. You could pick and chose things to eliminate and probably get broadband, all digital channels w/ HBO only, and the DVR for around 70 bucks a month..... |
