My cable company moved one of the networks from Channel 3 to Channel 33 on
3/1/05. TIVO has not yet picked up this change so the only way I can record
programs is by a manual program for certain times on Channel 33. Will TIVO
pick this up eventually or is there something I can do now to force the
change?


Usually happens automatically, but calling customer support or reporting a
lineup issue online can ensure they are aware of the issue - sometimes the
local providers make changes but fail to notify the people who maintain the
guide data when they do.

Online lineup issue report:

When
a better model comes along the cable company gives it to me for free.


Does the cable company 'give' it to you does the cable co. allow you to use
it for a nominal monthly fee?

Which is the better deal?


Owning or renting?
Owning is a better deal.

Mostly, cable companies just say nothing about new models being available,
and customers don't get one until the one they have breaks. This does
make it appear that cable companies are quite good at notifying customers
about new DVRs, though, because they tend to die often enough that customers
get new models quite often.

Back to the original subject of this post--TIVO fixed the channel problem a
couple of days after I notified them of the Cox Cable change.

Oh, right. Next time I go on vacation I'll be sure to buy a car
instead of renting one for a week.

Geeze.

The stupidity in this NG amazes me.

At least when you own the car you can do what you freaking want with it.

Right...

Man, Sean, your logical arguments are so stunning.

_Of course_ Kenny meant to say "in every situation, including short-term
usage". He simply left it off to be concise. The fact that the thread (and
the newsgroup) are about DVRs shouldn't be enough indication that he might
have had a more specific statement in mind.

BTW, the next time you go on vacation, _IF_ you happen to be in the market
for a car, it _WOULD_ be a better deal to buy instead of renting (assuming
shipping it back wouldn't be prohibitively expensive).

Kind of like, _IF_ you want a DVR, it's a better deal to buy instead of
renting...



You guys are such friggin Dolts. It just amazes me.

Let's see, should I buy a DVR that will be obsolete in a few years
(or in some cases a few months) in ADDITION to paying a monthly fee of
$12.95.

OR

Should I "rent" a DVR for $10 a month which will get replaced with a
new model when it also becomes obsolete.

Hmmmm, $3 less per month PLUS free hardware upgrades..?????

Geee which is the better deal?????

Are there any Harvard Business school grads on this NG who can help me
out????

The best part of an HR10-250 (DirecTv Tvo with HDTV) is not having to
deal with a Cable company.

Channel 117 isnt working? Are you on Channel 3? We'll send a tech out in
2 weeks to check your drop.

Jackie,

I have not had 1 service call to Comcast in the 7 years I've lived in
my current house.

Maybe you satelite people are used to dealing with the Sat service
people but not me.

I think that may be the worst analogy I've seen on usenet in years.

BTW zit-ass, the better deal is very much affected by what a person wants
their DVR to do. It's a very objective issue.




Geeze.

Me too. I think a one man crusade for a very insignificant purpose is very
stupid and a waste of that persons time.
