Better than what. It doesn't control a DVR. It is just one more ILLEGAL torrent site so you can break the law. A service that would be DIRT CHEAP on demand costs at least $50 for basic progamming! Hell NO, not for the amount of programming I watch! Deliver it on MY terms or else. Cable Tv's business model is dead, IMO, and OTA is free.. one can argue semantics about distribution & legality all you want.. but in the end it's the consumer's for the taking. More and more people will wake up to this as time goes on (beginning 2010, the average cable-tv bill will be $60, not $50), and they're more focused on their daily lives rather than being enslaved with bills they shouldn't be paying so much for content. BTW DVR services cost on average $25-30, on top of your bill just to make things more convenient... it's the equivalent of supplemental costing features for phone service and an ILEC telco model of price structure and we live in a market shifting to VOIP. Cable companies are barely dipping their toes in the water with IP distribution & evolution of the business model (ota began years ago, they saw the handwriting on the wall, cable's head is... well,). They better move faster or they will be too late. | |

LOL. Maybe because DirecTV & Dish don't have their own HSI networks. | |

So yes they are cherry picking wich neighborhoods they do. So untill Verizon serves all areas that cablevision does cablevision will always be better. They atleast are willing to serve everbody. | |

| said by Bobcat :Cablevision wants to take as much money as possible from their customers. Cablevision sucks donkey balls. Be fair in your feelings... EVERY company wants to get as much money they can from their customers - so? ... that's called being in business.
In the case of Cablevision, they've offered this service, obviously, those customers that have DVR service & who subscribe to their internet service.
Can you please point out a reasonable or valid point to where it says that ANY product offered has to be done so ala cart?
... can you purchase JUST HBO? Can you get a DVR with out a qualifying package? No.. in the case of the DVR, which is an expensive item to purchase and maintain, they want those going to their customers who are willing to spend the money on their monthly bill. As for HBO, you need to have at least basic cable..
Not everything in life is going to be the way you want it, and in the case of this particular issue, it's well within the rights of CV to offer it only to their HSI customers...
... but when this backfires on them and they realize that they won't get as many customers to switch to OO just to be able to program their DVR, this will eventually and most likely change.
I am sorry, however, I simply can't agree with you that what CV is doing is wrong... they are well within their rights to do this.. and you say they suck donkey balls, well, name a company out there where some customer, or non customer, will sit back and say XXXX sucks donkey balls.. the simple rule in life is that you're not going to make everyone happy no matter what you do.. they know it, I know it, I HOPE you know it.. and life will continue to go on. | |

| Re: why do they force you to pay for there HSI as well? direct t Except that Cablevision:
1. Advertises that their competitors have "hidden fees".
2. Has hidden fees of their own which are strictly designed to screw their own customers.

| Re: why do they force you to pay for there HSI as well? direct t Ummmmm... what are CV's own hidden fees? I can only take what you say in context to the current branch of thread, and can only assume that you're talking about the fact people have to have OO to get the remote DVR function - which would not be a "hidden fee" as you call it.
Want to explain? | |

| Re: why do they force you to pay for there HSI as well? direct t If you have Family Cable and you want a digital box (so you can get the channels they've switched to digital-only), you are forced to pay an extra fee of $5.95/month for iO Navigation. You cannot get a digital box without paying an extra fee. This is simply a money-grabbing scheme, as there's no technical reason you can't use a digital box without iO Navigation.
And then there's Cablevision's fee of $1.50/month for getting a premium channel on more than one outlet.
Cablevision sucks.

| Re: why do they force you to pay for there HSI as well? direct t What you described is NOT a "hidden fee"... to be honest, there are no "hidden fees".. that's a term used by people that don't understand that there are costs associated with doing business.. some around here like to call them "un-fees" which are generally charges allowed to be passed on OR those that are simply broken out of the basic service fee.. it 6 of 1 and half dozen of another.
Neither of the "fees" you are talking about are un-known.. they are in the rates disclosure clear as day.. YOU know about it, YOU told me and everyone else about it.. they're not hidden.
What you're describing here is no different than saying "if you want to get texting, you have to pay per text or have a service plan option added"... or, something like "if you want an extra dipping sauce for your McNuggets you have to pay for it.. "
If you want the digital box, you pay for it one way or another... The $1.50 month fee to have a premium on other outlets is usually done by various carriers.. it could very well be that the contract they have with the premiums is set up that way. I don't know CV's fees so I can't say for sure, and don't care to really look them up..
Regardless, there are charges to have the service and they happen to charge a configuration charge as you mentioned.. it's not a "hidden fee"..
Television services have LONG been sold as "one outlet" and additional outlets always have cost associated with them.. this goes well back into the early 90's.. so after almost 20 years, you aren't aware of this? | |
