I'm seeing all the promised HD channels here in Queens.
NY1HD has no sound in Bklyn.
Yup, everything that was promised I see live this morning in Howard Beach, Queens. Fox News is tomorrow I think as well.
Any word on when these will come to Manhattan? We are treated like chumps.
when the roadss gets paved
I live in Northern Brooklyn and I had all of the promised channels this morning. I also received a email stating that by years end TWC would have 100 HD channels and 250 OnDemand HD channels. Happy Days!
Anyone in the downtown Brooklyn area seeing any of these?
how is manhattan always last in HD? that makes no damn sense we're the ones who were locked to TW. thank god FiOS tv is coming maybe we'll be treated as actual fricking customers now.
The fact that we are locked to TWC is exactly the reason we get everything last. In Brooklyn and Queens, more people can install a dish, so TWC has to compete there. Most manhattan buildings won't let you, so there is no competition. Even if Fios turns out to be the worst, most expensive cable TV around, I will switch the day it is offered just out of spite for TWC.
When I left for work around 10 this morning the EPG was completely updated but no picture or sound in any of the new channels yet.
I live in Carroll Gardens.
You sometimes have to reboot the receiver to get video..I wasnt getting video on a couple of the new channels and a box reboot did the trick.
Forest Hills here, we got all the channels promised this morning.
Manhattan got 4 channels, Food, HG, Hallmark, & Animal. Food is another stretch-o-vision channel, most of the content on Hallmark is 4:3. So now Manhattan has 25 no pay HD channels, while most of the rest of the city gets 50. Oh, and those that get 50 can opt to pay 10% less, an opinion that is not available if you live in Manhattan.
Still nada in the city...
I now have about 4 new channels in the city! yay! more HD goggles
Whitestone here.. 19 new channels I can see.. Wow.. Bout time!! Although I will watch only 3-4 of em but still free is free.,.
CNN HD too in Manhattan. Brings the total to 5! Ugh...
does anyone know if the new hd channels are being broadcast in clear qam? I use an HDHomerun and the only new channel I found in a scan today is NY1. I'm in Far Rockaway, Queens 11691.
i got nothing and im in brooklyn >:(
I'm in Northern Manhattan (Washington Heights to be precise) and I got five new HD channels yesterday ... CNN, Food, HGTV, Hallmark and Animal Planet.
Astoria here. Got all the promissed channels. Lots of stretching and somewhat "animated" quality to NY1's signal. CNN's Newsroom looks hot, bubt only in when in HD.
Still lots of side-bars.
Happy to see CW11 News in HD (way ahead of Fox5).
Wake up MSNBC!
When I got home last night all the channels were there. I was disappointed to find that a lot of them are not in true HD. Most were the crappy upfeeds that stretch the picture.
the espn news hd has been out all day has anyone else had the same problem on time warner cable brooklyn/queens
I want to know is when will t.w.c. get cartoon network HD, USA HD, sci fi hd
and IFC hd.
I'm in Astoria, and my TiVo HD has been losing both HD and non-HD channels left and right, but the cable box still gets them. All of the ones I've lost are "cable channels" (e.g., ESPN, TBS, Sci-Fi, etc).
Does that mean this rollout is the beginning of SDV? Help!
I should add that, weirdly, this issue only started about a week ago.
