Mediacom HDTV - Page 16

I'm on hold with tivo now and they seem stumped. It's the strangest thing. I don't know why the cable card works in my pioneer plasma but I can't get 703 and 707 on my tivo hd.

It turns out my neighbor, who does not have a tivo, lost a bunch of channels last week. Mediacom came out and dropped a new line to his house. So, maybe it is a mediacom problem. They're scheduled to come out next wednesday and check my signal. I'm guessing I'll need a new line dropped too.

Unfortunately a newspaper article stated they're pushing for CNBC, Bravo and Cartoon Network by the end of the year....gag. No mention of AMC, VS, Golf or Weather.

Why do people want the weather channel in HD?

Thanks much.

Weird...my TiVo lists it that way. You must have the MC programming guide, eh?

Channel 732 on our system.

I called tonight and talked with two customer service people...both said Fox Sports Net HD was no longer a part of the channel offering.

True?
