Since Feb. 22, according to the N&O.

There was an announcement about an agreement between Bounce and Univision back in December.

Can anyone who receives both WRAL and WNCT compare their digital 5.1 sound and see if they sound identical. Some of us on WNCT are not getting the surrounds when we think we should be.

I've recently been thinking about finally cutting the cord on TWC. I've heard about the TV Fool site so I thought I would check it out to see what stations I can receive with an antenna and the results I got are pretty disappointing. I live in Durham, right inside of RTP and according to TV fool the only stations in the green are PBS, Univision and W24CP(have no idea what channel that is). My question is are these results pretty accurate? Is there anything I can do to receive better stations or is there an antenna people recommend? Or am I screwed because of my location?

according to Rabbit Ears W24CP is 3ABN (3 angels network) based in Durham

Anything in Green and yellow should be easily receivable - but you may need more antenna that you were counting on, and it really should be placed outside above the roof. Most of our local stations are just east of Garner (you can see them easily driving down I-40 down to Smithfield / Benson)

It appears that Time Warner has switched several HD channels from Switched Video to Linear feeds. What this means in access to these channels with a one way Cable Card or Digital Tuning Adapter.

Which channels are you referring to?
post #15072 of 15081
DISNEY, NICK, ABCFAM, CARTOON, TBS, USA, TNT, FX, BRAVO, LIFETIME, DISCOVERY, ESPN, ESPN2, AMC, TCM, NEWS 14, FOXNEWS (HBO, SHO) are all coming through in HD on my Digital Tuner adapter on ALL channels they are on. Example, USA is in HD on channel 25, 300 & 1300. The locals however are only in HD in the 1000's.

What do you guys think of Centurylink Prism HD? I think it looks incredible. The system certainly blows away cable IMO. Anyone have it?

They are running GPON FTTH with Microsoft Middleware which is very nice. I seen Northstate's set up with this middleware and it very expensive and blows aware Minerva which I using in my system with Calix.

I honestly thought Prism was a VDSL solution like U-Verse. Learn something new every day.

I guess the Prism name lends to fiber though, duh

Don't see anything here

Is TWC offerring any DVRs better than the SA8300HD yet? My SA8300HD is acting flaky and I want to swap it for a working DVR. Should I ask for another SA8300HD, or is there a better model out now?

By "flaky", I mean it forgets what it has recorded, everyday, until I re-boot it. Then it remembers for a few hours. Very wierd.

Thanks.

They've done the same thing in my area. The HD quality to me isn't very good during fast motion and does not hold a candle to OTA reception, or to Centurylinks HD

Is that the RF? If so, there is nothing here in Burlington, but I will check at night.

Yes, RF56.
