huh, crazy my city made some news on engadgethd.com. Yeah i have to agree with Nick above. CableOne sucks big time, but he is a little off on the HD Service. Granted it is horrible and small, but they have had PBS, Universal HD, Discovery HD Theater, National Geographic, A&E, HGTV, Food Network, and HBO, Cinemax, TMC (if you get movie package) for at least over a year now. About 2 weeks or so ago they added ABC Family HD, FX HD, History HD, Discovery HD, Disney HD, TLC HD. Also you have the local channels that returned wrong, its CBS and NBC that we got back this week from the Hoak Media deal. The Forum paper is wrong. CBS (KXJB) and NBC (KVLY) are sister companies here in fargo. CBS and NBC are both 1080i stations and KXJB and KVLY use the same equipment out on the tower 38 miles northwest of Fargo, which apparently that tower is the second tallest structure or something in the world, crazy didnt know that until the Forum printed that in the paper recently. But hey, cableone is stupid and for the past year or so since they started HD the channels have been all unlocked, so any clearqam tv picked them up for free. Sadly they blocked them at the same time this Hoak Media deal just went through this past week.
Yeah, It's been a while since I've had Cableone, didn't know they had added than many more channels. But they are still lagging WAY behind when compared to other cable companies, and satellite. And now that I think of it, you are right as well, it is CBS, and not ABC. An interesting tidbit about the channel 4 tower..... I grew up 5 miles from it :) It was the tallest tower in the world until just recently. A huge wind storm actually destroyed it in like, 1997 er so, if I remember correctly.
