Their flavors are all screwy because verizon headends are notorious for covering large areas.

That's one of the reasons why I'm not choosing Verizon. Philadelphia is a lot more urban than Marlton, so the weather can be a lot warmer there.

I have a Dish subscription in Atlanta, and I have a receiver on the same account here in Canada that I brought up.

You've already told us that Vic. See the first page of this thread. :P
Title: Re: Whose your cable provider?
Post by: Gil on February 21, 2008, 08:29:49 PM: Actually, if you read carefully, the thread title says "Whose your CABLE provider?". So technically, those of you who have satellite do not apply to this thread. :D

Post by: lightning10 on March 31, 2008, 11:49:54 AM: Whittier, CA Charter Communications. In the LA area Comcast got bought out by Time Warrer right before football season and that made a lot of people quite angery since they lost the NFL Network.
Title: Re: Whose your cable provider?
Post by: lfmusiclover on March 31, 2008, 11:50:59 AM: That's weird. I have Comcast and the NFL Network is only available on the Sports tier (which I refuse to order because I already spend enough on cable). :unsure:

That was the situation with the North Texas area almost 2 years ago. And had they not re-upped their carriage agreements with Fox owned stations KDFW (Fox) and KDFI (MyNetworkTV), there would be more ticked customers.

Post by: Squizz on September 19, 2008, 07:50:09 PM: I have Qwest Communications. We don't have Comcast in Phoenix...
I hate Cox! Hate it! Anyways... Qwest has this really cool feature called Caller ID. You can press the "Call ID" button on your remote and it shows you the last 9 callers Caller ID, Phone number and when they called.(Pic below for both pictures click on it to get a better view)

Also when you are watching television, like say watching TWC, and somebody calls, it would tell you who called. (Pic below)

Title: Re: Whose your cable provider?
Post by: WeatherSTARIII on September 21, 2008, 04:51:46 AM: Comcast (well, what do you know folks!) :rolleyes:

Current WeatherSTAR unit: IntelliSTAR.
Local WeatherSTAR ID number: 022878
Cable channel location: 2 (formally 36)

Former cable headend owners:
General Electric Cablevision Company - 1975?-1986?
UA Cablevision of Illinois - 1986?-1991?
TCI - 1991?-1998
AT&T Broadband - 1999-2000
Insight Communications - 2001-2007

Note: Comcast took over our cable headend since Janurary 1, 2008. They divided the Insight-Midwest partnership in Illinois. I hate Comcast (and I even hate our broadcast market too)! :furious:

This is what I would like to do to them :club:

I wish I had Charter, because they never updated their version of WS XL to Intellistar like Comcast did :twothumbs:

I always say, there's nothing intelli(gent) about intellistar!
