| Was thinking the same thing, no extra hardware charges for HD, but in order to keep getting the 7 - 8 channels they just moved from analog to digital required me to pay for another box ($6.50) and some other fee ($1.50) just because I now have a second box.

| well in comparison, directv makes you pay for HD, then on top of that for extra hd channels you have to pay, then on top of that you have to buy the freaken HD box for 300 dollars, then on top of that you have to pay for the dvr portion of it seprate. The cable company doesn't do that.
The only reason that I have directv it's because we have 4 boxes 2 in NJ where I live and 2 in PA where my parents are, 1 account. | |

They have killed my personal favorite HD channel, Treasure Channel, along with a couple of others that had become my fav's. At the same time, they raised the rate and all the while claiming I had the best service out there.
Adding the Weather Channel in HD doesn't make up for all the programming, both SD and HD, they have killed.
BTW, I have 2 HD DVR's, IO service and the Silver tier and pay $90 a month. What a rip-off.

| Re: no extra fees but Yep! CV should keep your channels in HD just because YOU want them. It doesn't matter that maybe you were a handful of people that wanted those and they ended up paying MORE than what it was worth. But yah they should have kept them so YOU could have something to watch.
And your package price is cheap compared to what some areas are for cable. But yep they should have to give it to you for $40 a month huh? Get over yourself! their out there to make money if you don't like it take your damn business some where else- chances are they'd be glad to get rid of you anyway. | |

| Verizon charges the monthly fee for the HD box just like Cablevision, but doesn't charge for the programming. So who are the referring to when the refer to the phone company competitor? Verizon's fee structure is for HD is the same as cablevision.
I would sue for making this false assertion. There should be a class action lawsuit against cablevision, with settlement that they truly have to provide free HD to all their customers by either broadcasting all HD unencrypted or by providing the HD boxes for free.
Too bad I'm not a CV customer, but its ok as I'm soon (hopefully) going to be a fios customer. | |

@bell.ca
| Huh just because your tv doesn't mean you can recieve those channels.
learn a little more info about your tv. a tv that has a QAM Tuner is capable of receiving the stations as long as the provide, provides you with a the adapter and card for programing for the tv. with out the adapter and card you'll only recieve the STD broadcasts. Cable, Sat, And Verizon all can provide that for you upon request.
Now the big no no is that the tv manufactures don't really put to much into the adapter slot so 3/4 of the time it doesn't work, you won't have access to the interactive guide or any of the on demands. once again that goes for all providers.
Now as far as HD goes:
( NOTE: ALL PROVIDERS REQUIRE A BOX FOR HD )
DTV is 10 bucks a month extra for hd.
depending on what package you have you'll be limited to those channles only:
Family has 10 hd channels
Choice has 32 hd channels
Choice Xtra has 35 hd channels
Premier has 60 hd Channels
Now for Dish
HD with Essentials is only 10 more a months
with top 100 you get 28
with top 200 you get 33
and wth top 250 you get 39 hd channels
HD with Ultimate is 20 more a month
with top 100 you get 35
with top 200 you get 40
with top 250 you get 45 hd channels
or the "best" package for hd
all hd channels " all 45 of them " for 30 a month
regardless of package, excludes ultimate top 250, all hd channels are included with top 250 ultimate.
now Verizon's FiOS service
HD is also free with FiOS but you need to get the HD box so it can recieve the hd signals
A HD Box is 10 a month
A HD DVR is 16 a month
A HD Multi Room DVR is 20 a month
Last but not least Cablevision
HD is FREE WITH CABLEVISION
There is NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE for an HD cable box either
As far as packages
Family with iOe will give you pretty much all the HD channels except for the premium HD channels like HBO, SHO, etc ...
Then you have Silver and Gold which add in those premiums.
Hopefully this breaks it down for you. so you people can stop freaking arguing already.
as far as Treasure HD goes lady you may want to check channel 724
for those of stuck in the analog age suck it up get a box the picture quality is better anyway. stop whining that your losing channels cause it was eventually going to happen.
If I remember correctly for each analog channel removed, 15 digital channels can be added or 6 to 8 HD channels can be added, ( Don't Hold Me To Those Numbers ). | |

From what I've seen on DirecTV's national Weather Channel HD channel, they have a different version of the local forecast for HD. It should be interesting to see if Cablevision gets a truly "local" forecast on TWC-HD or if we get the national one that they have on DTV right now... only time will tell I suppose. I can't imagine they don't have an HD weather star yet, but maybe that will come after they get more carriage? | |
