Just saw the latest public notice. "Chiller Channel, USA HD, Sci-Fi HD, Bravo HD, CNBC HD to be added (cannot be accessed on CableCard-equipped Unidirectional Digital Cable Products purchased at retail without additional, two-way capable equipment." It also looks like they are consolidating a few more of the On Demand channels (PBS, TW Sports move to News 9 on Demand). Also, it says WRGB2 will be added to Channel 435.. As I flip to 1896, I'm seeing "this Albany". It looks like they've dropped the sports programming in favor of Mr. Ed and some older movies. www.timewarnercable.com/MediaLibrary/4/5/Content%20Management/support/documents/notice_nys_031609.pdf |

Welcome to the forum. The legal notice has had that line about the Universal channels being added for more than two months ( see this post from Jan. 17). Chiller was already added a few weeks ago. 1896 was switched to this Albany a while ago when that took over 6-2. The sports channel was moved to WCWN's digital multicast on 45-2 OTA. |

The latest Legal Notice is out.
No changes from the last month's notice.

To be honest I am sick of this garbage.
According to my recollection, Time Warner I believe has only added MLB HD since the beginning of the year. The year is virtually a third over and all of these HD notifications are the same information we have been hearing about for months now. What happened to Crime & Investigation HD and Big Ten Network HD that was supposed to be added the end of December? Nowhere in sight. Other cities and cable providers have been adding HD hand over fist and Time Warner Cable Albany has failed to deliver over and over again.
I live in an apartment complex where DIRECTV is not allowed and FIOS is not available yet so I am stuck. It is really disturbing that Time Warner has raised the rates for their product but the quantity of HD channels has not increased. I am hoping everyone here feels the same way I do at this point.
Sorry for venting but I am really upset by this.

Sorry for venting but I am really upset by this. Apartments are not allow to ban satellite dishes as long as you have a personal area (not shared with other tennants) that you can place a dish, such as a private balcony. They can however prohibit mounting them to walls and roofs obviously so most of the time you are still stuck. FROM: www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/otard.htmlQ: Does the rule apply to residents of rental property? A: Yes. Effective January 22, 1999, renters may install antennas within their leasehold, which means inside the dwelling or on outdoor areas that are part of the tenant's leased space and which are under the exclusive use or control of the tenant. Typically, for apartments, these areas include balconies, balcony railings, and terraces. For rented single family homes or manufactured homes which sit on rented property, these areas include the home itself and patios, yards, gardens or other similar areas. If renters do not have access to these outside areas, the tenant may install the antenna inside the rental unit. Renters are not required to obtain the consent of the landlord prior to installing an antenna in these areas. The rule does not apply to common areas, such as the roof or the exterior walls of an apartment building. Generally, balconies or patios that are shared with other people or are accessible from other units are not considered to be exclusive use areas. |

In NYC, I've seen many people mount the dish on their balcony by using a 5 gallon bucket filled with soil or concrete to hold the dish. |

Of course you still need an unobstructed line of sight to the sattelite.
If you are on the southern side of the building, with no trees in a S-SW direction, you should be all set.

This is exactly the issue I had at my apartment--the balcony faced north, so I had to wait until I bought a house to make the switch. |
