| recently got hdtv in ventura,ca. Only a couple of channels (I don't have showtime of hbo). Picture is pretty amazing. watched the usc game yesterday and was blown away. very expensive. $10 a month for the box on top of the box access fee ($3.95 first, $6.95 second). My bill for powerlink, expanded basic cable and hdtv is about
$110. Worth it? yes in my household as we watch a ton of tv and I'm computer addicted. I'd go to the local office and check out their demonstrator. | |

| Re: Adelphia hdtv That's the million dollar question I want to know. Rumor over the internet is there trying to add CBS in time for the Super bowl. I could care less for CBS, instead I feel they should focus on HDnet (full hd programming), Discovery HD, ESPN HD or even Fox Sports HD (yes, they offer this). Anyone that lives in the Socal area, I highly suggest taking 10 seconds to request these channels at this link. It may help them know where the demand is in this small market. »www.adelphiasocal.com/section_contact.shtml
BTW, The quality of HD channels in Anaheim, California is top notch. They have excellent Picture Quality on the channels they have and I would personal recommend to anyone interested. | |

| Re: Adelphia hdtv I've put in a request here just south of Boston, MA for some channels. Would like CBS for the Super Bowl, plus a few other CBS programs. Also for NESN (local sports which Comcast carries in HD) which carries Bruins & Red Sox games in HD. Then really, I said that ANYTHING would be nice. Having 2 channels is a little weak. I'd be embarrassed to be the head HDTV guy at Adelphia and only be able to offer 2 channels for months while other systems have at least 8. | |

| Still no HDTV on Adelphia in Northern California, but Directv and Dish have been offering it for a few years now. You guys in Northern Idaho will probably get it the same time we do, as we're both in the western region.

| Adelphia has turned on NBC, ABC, HBO, and Showtime in parts of their South Florida market.
They have been testing it for a while but I haven't checked if customers can order it yet. It's been "soon" for a while now.

| Its available just very recently here in the NE Ohio area. Currently offering 4 HD channels (ABC, NBC, SHO and HBO) with more to be added in next couple of months. Using a Scientific Atlanta 3250HD box which just replaced the digital box used previously. I did a self-install in like 2 minutes but advise you to read the SA 3250HD documentation first. (available on SA's website) »www.scientificatlanta.com/explor···ndex.htm | |

| Adelphia.com is listing four HD channels as being available on their system in Loudoun County, Virginia. Even though there are at least a half dozen locals broadcasting in digital now, only two, along with Showtime and HBO, are listed.

| They wouldn't let me do a self install. Said they had to "test the lines" 'n stuff. The dude came out when I was at work. Tells my wife "your husband will want to set it up his way". Translation....I don't know how to hook it up so I'll leave the cables dangling (actually he halfway hooked it up wrong). No worries as I had the thing going in less than a minute. Watching Monday night football in HDTV right now. Even the digital channels look better as I went from the single composite input to the component. Absolutely amazing. Expensive? Yes! Limited? Heck yeah! But for early adopters like me it's more than worth it. | |

| I just got Adelphia HDTV in Florida. Even the techs have no ide how to set up the cable box. Only 3 channels so far. I have a standard shape 32" Sony HDTV. When I view the HD channels, I lose 3-4" off the top and bottom of my tv - even though it is full with. 1) does HDTV only come in the 16:9 wide screen format? 2) can I set my tv to see a full picture at the 1080 setting?
Plus the HDTV picture is only a little better than the digital image I had before and on the other channels. I don't think losing the size equates to the slight better picture quality.
Need some answers or help with setting. | |

| Re: Adelphia hdtv ijgolf:
You have to setup the cable box to see your 16:9 screen. Shut off your cable box. Hold down the Guide & Info buttons on the cable box. Then the screen setup starts. Setup your screen for 16:9 and 1080i. Turn on the cable box. Your HD channels should fit with no black bars.
Now all your nonHD channels will have bars on the left & right. Go into the Advanced Settings. You'll see the setting for Picture Size. Set it to Stretch. This will stretch all the nonHD channels to fill with no black bars, but it won't change the HD channels.
You should be good after that. The Guide bar on the bottom of the screen doesn't fit like before, but who cares!

| Re: Adelphia hdtv Thanks. I have tried that but my set is a 4:3 hdtv. I know the hd will have bars on the top and bottom, but on the non-hdtv - I have to reset the scan lines to 480 to get a full picture. If not, I get a 4:3 picture with a 2" black border all around. I thought there was a way to reset itself to a full screen. Thanks again. Your info works perfect on a 16:9 set, which I did for my friend. | |

| I have Adelphia HD in WPB. 3 HD channels that are marginally better than digital. Except Monday Night Football, which looks amazing. The HD box cabled with "component out" makes the other non HD channels look fuzzy. I connected a standard cable wire to the tv1 and the digital and analog channels are much clearer. So now I only use the component video out to watch HDTV. Any one else having this problem. | |

I will have to let Mac answer that...I know nothing about TV other than sometimes it is good to watch.
