Re: New VOD New Content / Storage Upgrades..
We need more HD channels, not more VOD...
Where is Cartoon Network HD? It was promised months ago! Where are the Viacom HD channels?? When can we expect these? |

1 edit | While I don't disagree with you, lewisD, VOD doesn't use the same bandwidth as a HD channel does. VOD relies solely on an internet connection, hence the load (buffer) times for movies to begin.
Now, that being said. I'm going to assume you don't live in the Lehigh Valley since your asking for channels the other markets don't have. Fine and dandy, but adding those channels to the other markets would be a swift kick in my junk. Since they'd want to worry about spending money in other markets to bring in brand new HD channels instead of spending some money and adding a few new HD channels to RCN's original market. The per capita here is big, I still don't get why they're willing to lose a customer base since, well whenever 1990ish?
The least they can do is confirm they are in the process of ordering equipment, adding two way connections to previous one way areas, or e-mail us status updates. We deserve it right? We pay the same as everyone else with less features |

| Shadyman, I agree 110% with your statements. I've called many times to question and then complain about the fact that we here in the Lehigh Valley pay the same and get less. And now they take away Cinemax. The person I spoke to about that, stated that I was getting some additional other premium channels to offset the loss of Cinemax. But I told them I watch only the HD channels. So did they give me additional HD channels to offset the Cinemax HD? No, they didn't. So I'm losing, not gaining a thing.
RCNMAN. Can't you comment on the Lehigh Valley area? |

The loss of cinemax didn't affect me, thank god. But I will say, since we pay the same as other markets and get less, how come we don't get ALL HD channels free. HBO-HD, Showtime-HD, etc... instead of having to get the packages. I'm strongly looking into directv, I know they compress their signal, but HD is HD. I know it won't be crisp, but i won't be missing any TV aspect ratio when it comes to NFL games, sporting events, wrestling, etc... i'm missing 40% of a picture when i watch wrestling on monday nights cause of the lack of USA-HD. Hell, i'm missing a show totally cause we don't get WGN america... the other markets do though, in SD and HD. what gives? There HAS to be cap room to add a solid 10 channels... there just HAS to be. |
