Ugh. I don't miss this at all. I loved my CableCard... now I love my D* dish! I'm glad I never made the investment into CableCard Tivo and Media Center after all. Sucks.

On January 11, 2008, Albany Time Warner Cable added the following HD channels:
1851 Fox Business News HD
1864 Lifetime Movie Network HD
1890 Starz HD (requires subscription)
1891 Starz West HD (requires subscription)
All of these channels are using Switched Digital Video (SDV) technology, so if you only have a cable card you are S.O.L.

I just LOVE how the FCC sits by and lets cable railroad and effectively bypass the cable card mandate by doing this. Sure, a so-called tuning resolver MAY address it, but I highly doubt it'll be out by end of June 2008. I also doubt it'll be free either (which, IMO it SHOULD be since cable is the one who decided to bypass the cable card mandate). sleepers.

I seem to be unable to tune 725 (MAXP), 727 (ACMAXP) and 728 (THMAXP) on my TiVo S3 via CableCard...can any verify what I'm seeing? Perhaps 3 more to add to the list.  |

776 and 777 appear to be working here with my TiVo + CableCards... Nope...not for me. I receive 771-775, but not 776 and 777 on my HD TiVo. Also, when I go into the diagnostic menu for my 8300HD DVR, it lists 776 and 777 as "switched", indicating SDV. Channels 771-775 are listed as "broadcast". |

Well, looks like I may end up having to get a STB and stop using my TivoHD. I don't know if I can wait 6 more months for the supposed resolver while TW keeps moving 2-3 channels every few weeks to SDV.

I can get both 210 and 225 on my TivoHD. However, I can no longer get 215 (I think that's the one). It's DHC (Discovery Health) and I can no longer get 1893 (that's the WNYDT2 or something).
Although I suppose i could also be "lucky" enough that someone in the neighborhood was/is watching 210 and 225?
