The extra download speed doesn't have much impact in normal use, but the five-fold increase in upstream bandwidth makes a huge difference when connecting back...
I saw this post on AVS Austin "I can tell you, with confidence, that 1590 is ABC Family HD, 1591 is Disney HD, 1592 is Toon Disney HD, 1593 is Hallmark Movie...
Anyone else see this? They're blaming "low subscriber usage." Hahahaa... I bet that's not the real reason. *I cannot access Road Runner Newsgroups or download...
For me, at least, that's the real reason. I used to be a heavy newsgroup user back in the late 80's and 90's. But not anymore. I migrated long ago to...
Motherfuc****!! Don't they realize this will make more people use Bittorrent which will result in much more bandwidth being used?!?!? Gee, I wonder what kind...
For those that watch "Wire in the Blood" on BBC America, ch. 268, Sunday nights, you know what I'm talking about. For others, the past few weeks, during the...
TW never could run a newserver to save their life. They can't run a mailserver much better for that matter. If you use newsgroups (as I do), then I'd...
It's been a while since you've used them then... I don't know how many months ago it was, but TW outsourced their news servers to Newshosting, and its binary...
Anyone watch enough of this station yet to know if the shows are hacked as much as if they were on WGN or Hallmark? They certainly seem to show enough...
I happened to flip over to it tonight and the compression was so bad it was unwatchable. There are always a lot of purest snobs about compression...but...
I switched to Earthlink years ago here just because there was a special deal running and once I saw how good the newsgroups here I never went back. I checked a...
I suspect my setup is not nearly as good as yours so while the compression does bother me at times, it's not so bad that I can't enjoy the shows. Has anyone,...
The anime/dvd/multimedia groups? Did they really go back six months or was your client just showing what had been retrieved and not necessarily what was still...
I suspect it's not entirely TW's fault. Even the TiVo guide info has been a little odd for this series of WiTB - despite the fact that the episodes all have...
That is no fun. Sigh. The newsgroups have been really good ever since they outsourced them. Just because people don't know how to use them doesn't mean they...
What kind of cap does Earthlink have? Isn't it either a dl'd amount or a speed for newsgroups? If neither, the retention sounds very nice indeed. ... 28/08. ...
Oh, they can get bent then. Counting retrieval of headers against the measly 5 gig quota? While I don't dl'd that much every other day, there are times I go...
That was my feeling as well. I just didn't want to admit my UK Big Brother addiction which would eat through that quota in no time. I have been happy with...
Has anyone tried a QAM tuner card with Media Center and Timewarner to see what you can get? I read that both Avermedia and Hauppauge cards with QAM tuners now...
Well, this finally gave me the impetus to call in to try to get a better deal. I ended up upgrading to Turbo and still saving $28 a month after talking to the...
... ** Unbelievable. After all we went through and it's been perfect since they outsourced. That removes any reason for me to stay with TW. Thank you for the...
... Time Warner has made it extremely difficult for third party DVRs to record anything digitally due to two things 1) SDV as you mention above - many of the...
... I have an AverMedia A180. It worked ok with the clear QAM. I'm not sure what VMC is? I used Aver's Media Center software. It's rather clunky but it worked....
OK. Well, thanks for the information. I have been getting all of the local channels via OTA HD for a few years now and have been pleased with the integration...
... Back when I had cable, the only QAM channels I got were the local ones. Also, I only had basic at the time, so there was no cable box involved. I ditched...
Looks like "low subscriber usage" seems to mean "we had child porn on our servers" so we're going to just stop offering the service all together. I see why...
