Nayan I am wondering if TWC is going to see what kind of a deal that cablevision got and try to negotiate that deal? Now that cablevision has caved the chances that Time Warner Cable makes a deal is more likely due to the fact they are the last ones holding out and the pressure to make a deal just increased smile.gif

Kevin: I agree 100 percent.

Nayan: Things can change quickly. I go back to the FS Florida example after the ball dropped in 2009.

It might be last minute and very frustrating but we are getting NFL Network this year. I can feel it.

After that, we will all need a new channel to target.smile.gif

I really think this Cablevision deal basically is what we needed. Time Warner will have to negotiate something before season begins. All of the major cable channels have the channel, it's time for Time Warner to step up. Of course, all reports show they are not talking, but I'm pretty sure with 3 weeks left before season begins, we will see some negotiations.

I like how everyone is keeping the faith here.

A deal is going to get done before the season starts.smile.gif

Thank You...

I made this request several days ago and still no response. I'm going to assume then that there is no issue and move on to the next. Let me know if things change.

I vote for TWC and Bright House to get NFL Network and NFL Redzone in HD! My TWC system used to have NFL Network from 2004-2006. frown.gif

By the way you guys should start looking forward to TWC Deportes HD and TWC Sportsnet HD as it might be coming your way smile.gif It seems that the Texas systems area going to be adding them on the sports pass in SD and HD.

You had requested info from me before but I had to go out of town and when I got back all the rogue recordings were removed by my wife. Lately it seems to be doing better, we did see a ton of Deadliest Catches record about a week ago though. I think Discovery is one of the biggest culprits for us. Let me know if you still want my info.

Has anyone checked into this new Brighthouse Home Security product? I'd love to tell ADT to shove it. Curious about the costs for equipment and if they are truly offering the service yet or if the email was more of a teaser.

I really do not watch a lot of these but this is the order of importance should they become available.

Chiller (this has been teased for years)
ESPN Classic (Have good Docs On)
Cloo
Current TV (Good Docs)
TeenNick (Old Shows)

The only channel I really watch of the above is The Chiller Friday Night Movie at times. The above I just want in my HD section for occasional viewing. Other than that, I just keep track of the list and possibilities like people on the Direct TV and Dish Network forums. Of course, BHN has more HD than either of them.

For now, the only things I want are

1) NFL Network/RedZone HD (We all know the deal here and it's all up to TWC and NFL to be fair)

2) Sundance HD- It's on the TWC carriage deals and since BHN already has the SD version, it should be an easy 4th quarter ad.

3) More Encore HD/Indie/RetroPlex- When the new Starz deal gets done these will come with it and given BHN's track record, will pick these up quickly. It's only because I have Movie Pass.

In the end, until circumstances change, Sundance HD is really the only thing I can push for as we strive for the day we never have to leave our HD sections.

I am wondering about that as I might get it when I move.

I bet we will get those two as TWC wants to get as much money as possible for those channels.

We should find out for sure a week from Thursday when Yimitz sees the BHN Michigan notice.

Here's hoping for NFLN and RZ. We should know in about 2-3 weeks.

in the past two weeks, time warner kicked the nfl network and red zone from the insight cable systems they bought. this was despite the fact the nfl network was willing to extend the contract for one year with no increase. currently, time warner is not negotiating with the nfl and the season starts in less than 3 weeks.

may i remind anyone who has verizon as their cell phone provider that you can download nfl mobile and get the two aforementioned networks for only $5 more a month.

if that isn't an option, i suggest flooding time warner with emails and phone calls and threaten to change providers!. and pray for a miracle.

ridicule me if you want. i would be the first person to apologize if this happens for you.

and you should. at this point in time, fingers need to be pointed at time warner. if every other major cable provider has come to terms with the nfl, there's no reason why time warner can't.

Does anyone know if they are offering a bundle deal with HBO/Showtime, or how much it costs per month for each channel? I just read about an upcoming show that sounds like something my hubby would watch and if the price is right then I'd order them both.

i would love to see bhn find a way to convert their hd to mpeg4 before they add too many more hd channels. i prefer quality over quanity. had pac 12 network on the other night and quickly changed as the pq was horrible, especially on my 64 inch plasma. live stuff isn't too bad.

They might.

You should ask Gary and make a post on the other forum.

Were we expecting a new Navigator DVR update?

In the middle of watching a recording, it just switched to:
Code:
Your cable set top box is receiving updated software from your cable service provider. Please do not remove power during this process.
Your cable set top box will restart automaitcally when the download is complete.

CDL Downloading: XX%...

Haven't seen this screen before, but I'm not usually watching when the box decides to update I guess.

OK, after the download and subsequent reboot, I've gone from:

ODN Version: 5.0.0_6 2011/09/08 09:17

to:

ODN Version: 5.1.0_7 2012/04/26 14:52
