They're doing this down the road from Reno in Carson City, NV as well. I work for the local public access stations on and off, and let me tell you - from day one, Charter was screwing with public access. Used equipment, only allowing mono audio, and now bumping our two channels to the digital tier and compressing them even more than they were cutting the quality before. We managed to get a nice new broadcast system that I'm putting on line this week, and we can't even get friggin' stereo sound.
Charter's been pretty much kissing plenty of ass, but stabbing us in the back ever since the franchise agreement was railroaded through which really gave the city a real shafting. Badly worded, incredibly vague, and completely expected of a company like this.
The only thing I can do short of standing up in front of the city board of supervisors, which would be bad for the good people I work with, is cancel my service. And I did last week, letting the phone rep know that this was why.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
