It looks like you guys are approaching 200 HD channels like us with BHN Orlando.

We will be at 194 HD channels after our March 23 update.

BTW: How is Sundance HD and are any of those late night international suspense movies in HD?

Time Warner Cable and MSG Resolve Dispute

By HOWARD BECK and RICHARD SANDOMIR

The 48-day standoff between the MSG Network and Time Warner Cable ended Friday, according to two people aware of the resolution who were not authorized to speak publicly.

The end of the impasse will be announced Friday afternoon by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and executives of both companies. A settlement had been urged by Eric T. Schneiderman, the state’s attorney general. The governor’s intervention in the past 24 hours with James L. Dolan, executive chairman of Madison Square Garden, and Glenn Britt, chief executive of Time Warner Cable, accelerated the agreement.

The blackout deprived many Knicks fans around the state of seeing much of the rapid rise to stardom of point guard Jeremy Lin — as well as the continued success of the New York Rangers.

The impasse began Jan. 1 with the companies disagreeing angrily over what Time Warner Cable would pay to continue carrying MSG. Time Warner Cable, which serves more than two million customers, insisted that MSG reneged on a proposal for a 6.5 percent increase late last year and then demanded a 54 percent hike. MSG has never discussed figures publicly but said Time Warner’s were not accurate.

Berk32,

It might be until next week before FUSE returns.

We lost it here with Bright House because of the MSG dispute (Month to month agreement with FUSE didn't get extended).

BHN is probably getting it back with this agreement sometime next week.

not in North Texas for sure we had it on channel 281 and when I try to go to 281 it goes to 282.

I think your area got it back this quick due to whitney houstons funeral and TWC has subs in NJ.

because we got the MSG package back - and the tentative deal was a local tentative deal brokered by NY state politicians.

I am pretty sure fuse is coming back nationwide it is not listed on the TWC website like MSG and MSG+ is. TWC probrably flipped back on the switch in your area all at once and the rest of the country is going to get it monday as the day was almost over and they did not want to waste time in the areas outside of ny to get it up when the engineers were going home for the weekend.

TWC made the deal for Fuse nationwide as it is basically renewing the deal for everyone that had the channel not just NYC.

I did read somewhere FUSE will return nationwide.

I'm really glad you guys got MSG back. Those RSN's disputes are always rough.

There is one network airing knicks games and dozens of stations covering Whitney Houston so no the funeral had absolutely nothing to do with negotiations.

I've been wanting to archive Rangers games for a long time but never really knew how to approach it. Someone told me about the HDHomerun Prime and it sounds like a cool device. But after reading about it I learned about the copy-freely vs. copy-once restriction issues. Which way are MSG-HD, NBC Sports-HD and NBC-HD tagged on TWC? Also, is the status set permanently for each channel, or does it change depending on the particular broadcast? Anyone on TWC record shows to a PC or other device?

I don't archive it, but I use Hauppauge's HD PVR to record shows. I use it to download the video to PSP or IPad/phone to use in the gym. It doesn't support HDMI, but component.

My 8640HDC rebooted at 1:48 AM, but the only change I noticed based on my previously recorded version in the diags pages is the Stack Version. It is now at 1.6.9.501 the previous version I had recorded a couple weeks ago was 1.6.9.401. All other software components versions remained unchanged.

Im trying to discern if I have a bad box, a slow box or, if is the norm.
The reaction time is just terrible.
Sometimes 3-5 second lags between pushing a button on the remote and the box reacting.

I have the Samsung 3090.
It used to be great but its been rocked ever since that first of many updates that started 4-5 months back.

Do I switch this thing out or is everyone experiencing this?

For the past few months or since the latest update, my Samsung 3090 has been extremely slow. Changing channels has been terrible - for example, when I punch in 702, I get 02. Then when I do it again, I get 70 then 2. I even picked up a new remote at the Queens Center but that did not help.

Long delays too with the On Demand channels, especially when starting and stopping shows. On some days the audio dropouts occur with every other sentence. This week I had a DVR malfunction "Not recorded because the channel was not available (8)".

I have ODN 5.0.0_6 2011/09/08

Thanks to all of you - I learn alot from reading this board.

Waiting for Starz On Demand in HD and the ability to use my Roku for HBO Go and Max Go.

I had two samsung whole house dvr's installed saturday and I had the same issue highlighted above until I swapped the cheap batteries TWC gives you in the remote for 2 brand name batteries. works good now. Give it a try.

This is definitely an issue with dying remote batteries. Go get some fresh ones. Or even better, get some rechargables.

Even better, get a good programmable remote. The IR transmitters are typically much more powerful.

My Marantz RC2000 has a more robust transmitter than any other remote in my drawer.

Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I could not find any mention of it. I have the Samsung 3050 non-DVR box, and all the channels come in OK, except for 702, which has horrible stuttering and frame skipping. I went to TWC Atlantic Ave. to exchange the box for another (same model) and there was no improvement at all. OTA equivalent channel 2.1 looks fine, and when I plug the cable from the wall directly to the TV's coax jack, bypassing the box, the picture, on channel 17.1, is also fine. So, problem has to be with the box. And the problem is only on channel 702, CBS HD. Anyone else experience this, or have any ideas? And, does TWC offer any other non-DVR box other than the Samsung? Thanks.
