Do you have any technical details?

Are they fiber into the home?
Do they pass HD as received?
What kind of hardware do they use?

Etc.

I can answer some of my own questions:

Fiber into the home
40 HD channels
IPTV
Motorola hardware, at least in some areas; VIP 1612 HD DVR, VIP 1200 HD STB.

does LUS have any clearqam channels?

I was hoping to find out some info on the release date of the new software / dvr boxes. For anyone who isn't aware, the DVR situation through LUS is laughably bad. They keep telling me the new stuff should be here soon, but no date has been provided.

Just to update: the new boxes have been out a few months now, and they are now up to date with modern DVRs. Overall I'm very pleased. Now I just would like to see some new HD channels get added. Unfortunately that's delayed and will apparently be held up in court for awhile now.

does LUS have any clearqam channels?
I have not been able to find any clearquam channels with LUS.

Is anyone else having these issues. It doesn't happen all the time or even on every channel mostly on fox, discovery, and TBS. I have the cisco boxes with the new software. I notice it more on the TV hooked up to my 3310 via HDMI. I have had LUS come out and check everything and all the tesst look fine. I think I am going to try the old motorola boxes with the new software as this was there only suggestion other than use component with analog audio. Just wondering if anyone else is having issues. Watching the saints game with this is driving me crazy!

We have had a similar problem. The audio has dropped out several times and many times we turn on the tv and there is no audio until you change the channel. We have also had issues with the screen freezing up. We had a service tech out here and obviously it did not happen while he was here!! He sat and watched for a while, but no luck..

I have these issues seemingly on the network channels only, and it seems like during NFL games it is particularly bad. I wonder if it has something to do with bandwidth? Combined with the less than stellar selection of HD channels, I am really really close to going back to Cox. In fact the only thing keeping me with them, is that I have my router plugged into the cable box (most people say this isn't possible, including the engineers at LUS, but I assure you, it works) and this allows me to connect all of my internet ready A/V equipment to a hard wire, and puts my router in a central location which gives me wireless access throughout the house. If I knew for sure I could do that with a cox box, I would have already switched back.

Channel lineup changed. Does anyone have an update?
