To clarify: the ISP is Comcast/Xfinity, and I might do this on AOL dial-up.

Unfortunately the sensor is dead, take it into a shop to have it fixed, unless you can do it yourself.

General Discussion / Re: Charter/Time Warner update.

« on: October 02, 2016, 04:14:57 PM »

Well I've saw a Time Warner headend yesterday and it still as of yesterday was still referred to as Time Warner Cable with no mention whatsoever of Charter or anything, although I also saw 2 headend commercials that I recognized from a year ago, one for a book called Stem to Story and another for an On Demand show called It Ain't Rocket Science with Time Warner Cable logos, none of the other headend commercials I recognize from a year ago but are still referred to as Time Warner Cable, I guess it will take some time for the Time Warner Cable name to quit existing.

I think it could be one of two things:
a) non-mandatory switch-over
b) slow transition

They have moved Time Warner and Charter Spectrum under a new name: Spectrum.

The logo is in the URL.
And a few headends have not gotten the Spectrum name yet. I will soon have a full list of headends that have not moved over yet.

A lot of cool pics of everyone here. For personal reasons, everyone here will never get to see a picture of myself   

Could not agree more! I have NEVER released a picture of myself to the web, for personal reasons.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Charter to acquire Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks

Has the Time Warner branding changed yet?

Not at the Time Warner headend in Tulsa (I have a relative that lives there), the still tell me that the headend, and guides, even all references online still identify it as 'Time Warner Cable' I think that they have not yet changed most, but it could end up with Charter not dissolving the name at all, or just making it optional to move over to the 'Charter Spectrum' brand name.
