TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Is cable TV going downhill?

« on: December 20, 2008, 02:49:55 PM »

Anyways, if someone has already learned about the upcomming Digital TV transition, don't get cable! (expecialy if its Comcast)

(Yeah, I just caught this.  Sue me.)

Comcast can't force you to switch to digital packages because of the DTV rules.  As a matter of fact, it's against the law for Comcast to profit (ie force you to pay more for DTV) from the transition.

I can't understand why the addition of two words to the TCF is major. The addition of a city to the TCF-major. The removal of a city from the TCF-major. A change to the look of the TCf-definitely major. But a small tweak to the names of a couple of cities? Not major. 

Well, considering someone updated a product that is never seen...

What's more surprising is that TCF data is still sent to those STARs.

What Billy and Derek said.

Considering the 4000 hasn't had a single change since the image change...yeah, I'd call it a fairly big change.

Does anyone have a late-90's backup Travel Cities Forecast?  I think I have found a fairly big 4000 TCF change.

Now they've decided to start big EE at 8 PM ET tonight. It looks like Paul is solo...

It wouldn't surprise me if WWCH is preempted.  This big-ass ice storm is...well...big-ass.
