"We'll Have 'Unlimited' HD Capacity" - HA, you guys have the capacity, what you lack is the will.....]]>Mar 27th 2008 11:39AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/
TWC can roll out HD channels area-wide in San Antonio/Austin in one fell swoop, but it takes NINE MONTHS to do it in Dallas/Ft. Worth?

Do they seriously expect us to believe that it takes an equal amount of time to push the "Ok" button on a piece of software as it does to conceive and gestate a human life? Do they think we're stupid?

Still, it's about damn time we got something to watch in HD other than Mark Cuban's favorite passtime and wrestling.]]>Mar 27th 2008 12:12PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/
If it is available anywhere, why not everywhere?

There must be licensing deals, but still it shouldn't be this hard.

Just look at NYC, big urban jungle that it is. Satellite and OTA are available in the outer boroughs, but the central one, Manhattan, has virtually no access. So those outer boroughs get up to 11 MORE HD channels AND they pay less per month.

I think they have added 3 HD channels in the past two years to Manhattan. They are also counting on Verizon needing many years to run fiber to apartments, so again, no possibilities, stick it big time to their customers!]]>Mar 27th 2008 12:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/Mar 27th 2008 12:50PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/
I'd switch but there are NO other options here and I dont want a dish. FIOS WHERE ARE YOU?]]>Mar 27th 2008 1:14PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/
I had recorded the first half of the Andromeda Strain remake in Hi-Def on Monday and on Tuesday, after the move that day, I could only record the standard-def second half because I lost A&EHD. Granted, the movie kind of sucked, but I might have liked it more had I seen all of it in Hi-Def.

No freakin' Verizon in the area, and the satellite options are too expensive if you want the internet included.

On another note, I have had the 10mbps service through TW (Road Runner) but no matter how I have it set up, what computer I use, or whether in N Dallas or McKinney, I've never tested speeds above about 4mbps. Why the deuce am I paying more to get slower speeds? I hate that I'm backed into a corner with Time Warner.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 3:55PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/

There are zero reasons to stay with TWC over fios. I live on the AT&T side of town, and even if we had U-Verse up here yet (we don't), it's pretty crappy when it comes to HD.]]>Mar 28th 2008 1:06PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/
My interpretation of the 50 channels in 9 months is that other areas will be changed to switched delivery with 31 channels over the next 9 months, and once everyone has been changed over, they'll start adding channels to take us from 31 to 50. So I doubt any given city will have to wait until the end of the year to see the change, but perhaps the last city will have to wait 6-7 months.

Not to defend them too much, this has been a very long time, but I think their challenges in the DFW market have been a lot more than other markets.]]>Mar 28th 2008 6:58PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/Apr 3rd 2008 12:28PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/Mar 28th 2008 8:08PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/27/twc-adds-11-hd-channels-in-dallas-texas-region/Mar 28th 2008 9:43PM
