Re: [Cable] Dallas/Ft Worth Metro Vol I -- Time Warner

They might have been changing the cable plant you were out of. I just got switched from the Plano plant to the Richardson plant a few days ago. One of my coworkers was switched the day before. We both live off Renner in Richardson (far north side, Collin county), and we both had to renew our IPs to get online. Sure enough, all routes now go through Richardson instead of Plano.

On the other hand, one of my other coworkers who lives in Plano is still using Plano IPs with no problems. Most likely will stay that way.

what is up with the horrible hd quality on tnt and hdnet? is this a permanent result of new compression? ive also noticed a degradation in other hd channels also...but these 2 (especially tnt basketball) are the worst.

Glad someone else has mentioned the drop in picture quality on HDNet and TNT. First noticed it about 2 weeks ago. Could it be related to adding HDNet Movies?

it could be the fact that tnthd,ktvt,and ktxa hd all are on the same qam.

cbs has news in hd and so does ktxa and tnt is hd throughout the day.

Also greenville and commerce are getting hdtv on december 27. I dont know how they came up with 6 free qam in these areas.

kdfw hd (730)
kxas hd (731)
ktvt hd (733)
kera hd (734)
kdaf hd (735)
ktxa hd (737)
hd theater (755)
tnt hd (770)
espn hd(780)
mojo hd (790)
hdnet (795)
uhd (805)
hbo hd (815)
cinemax hd (825)
showtime hd (830)
starz hd (835)

also launching
nbc 5 weather plus (365)
wfaa xpress 8.2 (371)

the qam tuner is going to have 3 hds on one qam except the one with kdfw and kxas hd

first qam:
cinemax hd encrypted
starz hd encrypted
hd theater unencrpted

second qam:
ktvt unencrypted
tnt hd encrypted
ktxa hd unencrypted

third qam: all three are unencrpted
kera hd
wfaa hd
kdaf hd

fourth qam: all four unencrypted
kdfw hd
kxas hd
nbc 5 weather plus
wfaa xpress 8.2

fifth qam:
hbo hd encrypted
espn hd encypted
showtime hd encrypted

sixth qam: all three encrypted
mojo hd
hdnet
uhd

and whoever lives in greenville and commerce can you give exact qam channels.
