Hartford, CT - Cox - Page 9

Do we know what the frequency for WB is?

Thanks,
Chris

110-2

I know this is no big deal, but the LL WS is on ABC, againn we get screwed!
Anyone know if the Superbowl is scheduled this yr for ABC again?, i sure hope not!
And who has the rights to this yr's world series, it's prob time to climb a ladder and install that antenna

FYI - The Superbowl is on CBS this year. The SuperBowl will not be on ABC anytime soon.

The World Series will be shown on Fox this year and for several years.

Think COX will give us YES HD since we have NESN HD?

We're right in the middle of New York and Boston, so I think having both stations that primarliy show Red Sox and Yankees games should be addressed.

is anyone having problems with the audio cutting out on the Moto HD box? I've been having an issue over the past few weeks where the audio cuts out for a second or two on any channel (HD or not). I'm thinking I may have to exchange it for yet another box (that will make my 3rd one!) I'm using the digital coax out.

I haven't had any noticeable audio problems lately. If there were anything, it was limited to one channel and a short duration ... nothing that would make me believe we are having system problems. I use the optical out into my AVR for all audio and watch mostly the HD channels.

Some recievers/TVs don't handle the switch from dolby digital to pro logic surround sound well, causing a brief audio drop out. Could this be what you are seeing?

I have some quick audio dropouts on occasion, seems less frequent since i traded in for a 6416.
I see more skips and stutters, esp beggining of MTV music awards, also more so if you recording a HD show at the same time.

I don't think it's digital to pro logic drop outs, I actually turned my digital output to PCM to test that. It's only for like a second but it's almost like the box stops putting out sound for a second. Like I said, HD or not, seemingly any channel. I honestly think it's the box but I can't be certain.

I notice that I lose audio for a couple of seconds when a program either starts or stops recording. Could this be it?

Yeah I get that too but this is really random. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Knowing how bad Cox is too they'll make me wait for an appointment weeks in the future instead of swapping it out in person for me (the woman gave me a hard time about doing that despite the guy on the phone saying it was ok).

Anyone else notice during Pat's and now Giants game jerky playback?
All other HD channels work fine.

well I'm doing some experimenting with my audio issue. I connected the analog outputs to the TV itself and I've temporarily unplugged my Airport Express and am using my receivers optical input for the cable box. We'll see if i still get the dropouts. I'm thinking the coax output of the box is damaged. This will tell me one way or another.

Have you called Cox and asked them?

Just saw a Comcast ad on channel 3, there advertising Narnia on StarzHD, we dont have StarzHD!!!
It's Comcastic!!! they say!!!
We call ours Cox-suckastic!!

I had that problem with my first box. the guy tried to reset it remotely but he couldn't get a signal from it so I had to swap it out for a new one.

I had that too, and I wasn't able to access on-demand. I just unplugged my box, waited a minute, then plugged it back in. The reset seemed to have done the trick.

That's the first thing I do always before calling and wasting my time with Cox tech support.

Quiet in here. I'm assuming there's nothing brewing.

Well it def aint the Sox!!!!.......can you say Next Year?

In the Omaha thread.. someone posted that Cox called them and said they'll be getting ESPN2 HD and ESPNU by the end of the year..

Could Cox have finally come to an agreement with ESPN? I hope.

I haven't been able to find any other information besides that post.. so if anyone can find anything from Cox please post it.

Anyone experiencing more video/audio break-ups than usual? I was watching Smallville last night and the video stopped at least 6 times. It was like I was getting a poor signal OTA.

OK what is going on? Cox appears to have CBS HD blacked out during the Patriots @ Cincinatti game but the regular CBS station works fine. There's no reason it should be blacked out so I don't know if it's WFSB's screw up or cox's!

It is also blacked out on Comcast in the Hartford area, so it looks like it is a WFSB problem. Hopefully they will fix it shortly.

I dont think it's black'd out. I cant pick up WFSB OTA either.

FYI - I hit 106.1 by accident today and it picked up ESPN-HD. This was news to me.

Same here in South Windsor. Someone over at WFSB isn't a Pats fan.

Anyone have WFSB's number handy? Let's flood them.
