1 edit | Sure Mediacom is giving customers seven free HD channels (ESPN HD, ESPN2 HD, Discovery Theater HD, TNT HD, TBS HD, CNN HD and Fox Sports Midwest HD) under the name HD Family Basic
For the first 6 months. After that you will incur normal HD programming costs.

Bellingham, WA | Re: Comacst already gives them for "free" Well normally they would charge the $8 HD converter box plus the $2 "advanced" remote control fee to get these on top of having a digital package.
Definantly worth getting a cableCARD compatible TV or DVR | |

@clearwire-dns.net | Directv is the way to go!!! If HD is what you're looking for then Directv is the best option. | |

Cable HD (Time Warner), DirecTV and Uverse to see which would be best for me.

| There will be no 20/2 Service... As it was announced here:
»Re: [Cable HSI] Mediacom MAX 20/2
quote:
I'm sorry to say there is no testing of a 20/2 meg service, nor will any launch of said be occurring in Feb or any time in the near future.
Apparently Mediacom does not plan on a 20/2 service release. Bainch works in Mediacom's corporate office in Middletown NY so this is as solid confirmation as you will probably see. | |

| Why? Why would MediaCom do a 20/2 service when they can't even get the 15/1 service anywhere near what's it supposed to be running?
I usually get 5/1, but I pay for 15/1 (a tremendous amount of money each month).
They say there's no problem, and the tech always remind me when I call for support that it's "up to" 15 megs down. | |

Floral Park, NY | Follow Cablevision.. Cablevision does 30/5 (which is really an uncapped ~38/15 but averages 27/4.X based upon node congestion & overhead). Comcast and Time Warner can learn a thing or two about how to do high speed right. | |

@sbcglobal.net | Re: Follow Cablevision.. Its good to get History HD too...but lets see how quickly this materializes.
It took 5 weeks to get a HD receiver anyways so I don't mind waiting for another couple weeks.... | |

| I called Mediacom last night Complaining about the lack of HD offerings and the slow speed of my 8Mbps Internet connection. The rep I spoke with confirmed that new HD channels are available in a free tier, and that some of their current HD offerings like HDNet and Mojo would become part of the $7/month HD tier.
In fact, she said it was effective yesterday, but as of now I have yet to see anything. | |
