Pay per view listings no problem for Digital Cable

Joe


I am glad that you and the rest of the cable people get the PPV channels. But us poor Directv and I assume dish do not. Why I don't know but it been said that the provider TBS can't get the data from directv but can from the cable.. Since this is true of TiVo as well and they are a big parenter of directv makes it a big mystery to most of us. http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif

I just wanted to make sure y'all didn't feel TOO bad!

p.s. I'm moving out of my apt and buying a house/condo

and hope to be dumping my cable and going Dish or Direct

-- so I hope to join you in your frustration!

Is that InDemand PPV? InDemand PPV is the only PPV provider that I know of that gives info to Tribune.

Just wonderin' if there were others.

I think so -- they always talk say in the adds

"Pay Per View is In Demand on Time Warner Cable!"


I didn't know it was a company, though...

I have Time Warner Cable of NYC (specifically Woodside - Time Warner Cable (Rebuild), zip 11377) and Replay lists my PPV channels, but the information is usually wrong. Channels 58-60 are Time Warner Home Theatre, and the guide information usually lists the correct movies on Channels 59 and 60. However, for Channel 58 it lists In Demand PPV info, which is not correct. Channel 61 is supposed to be In Demand, and the guide does list Ch. 61 as In Demand, except the movies are usually incorrect. Also, PPV movies are often pre-empted for special events (usually on Ch. 61 but sometimes on Ch. 60), though the guide doesn't reflect this.


Also, Channel 62 is Playboy TV (from 10pm to 6am) and Channel 65 is Spice, but neither channel is listed in the guide. I heard that supposedly adult channels don't get listed, but some people are getting these listings.


Not a big deal, since I don't order much PPV, but I thought I'd mention it since the topic of PPV listings came up.

analog services -- the digital stuff I get has always been correct --
