Re: Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money
Then you still have worse picture quality on the analog channels is the other problem. I got rid of my cable anyway, I'm much happier with directv and DSL. |

get a pioneer av tuner... it knows to select analog when digital is not available, then back to digital when channel 101 or higher is selected. Took me about 6 months to figure this out. |

Talking about audio. The higher tier digital channels broadcast in 5.1....the lower tiers in stereo....
Yet the way the Scientific Atlanta Explorer is configured, it doesn't intelligently alert your receiver of the difference....
SO you need to manually switch the audio if say you WERE watching local news, and say switch to Starz to watch a film in 5.1.
Not a big deal, but combined with what I like to call "Sun F$#@" distortion, the quality leaves a little to be desired. |

Yes, I agree...the fact that channels 2-75 are analog with TWC stinks. Having to switch your receiver when you hit the higher channels is lame....
I don't understand exactly what you mean, but if you get channels above "75", using your example, you must already have a "box". So you're already using that box to view channels "2-75", right ??
What TW doesn't say is that customers who get their "Basic Plus" package, basically channels 2-75, is that it's not really digital. But ask 'em and they'll tell you it is. They spew "digital, digital, digital" all the time. Then again, that just goes back to the clueless people that work for them (not all of them, mind you).
Also, they raised the cost of ALL packages "because of the network upgrade to digital", but their two lowest tiers did NOT change, so why raise the cost ?? One, 'cause they can and two, 'cause they've mislead people.
