More and more I just want to pull the plug on cable and TV all together.... Both the networks and the Cable companies are greedy. All of the content you have on TV you can get online almost on your own terms and its far more ala carte then Cable or Sat.
THe time to get a digital antannae is coming and that, real soon. Such bull****.
and cablevision wants us ot think itts all Scripps network's fault and later, now ABC.
Cablevision can run their ads saying they are being essentially vicitmized but at the end of hte day, they raise their rates to us for no reason!
Cablevision is... (And I am sorry if it offends those who may work in the company) a greedy company. CSC Holdings more correctly. There is an attitude of entitlement within the company from management. It is almost as if they expect the public to be greatful that they exist and offer the services they do for the rates that they do. At the same time their bottom line almost constantly improves with exception of one quarter in the last few years. The rates go up, but nothing is being covered in terms of overhead by these rates generally speaking. Just more metal in the hanger for the big shots. The fleet of vehicles is in complete shambles and they will be very quick to question you when you address a safety issue. It is always about putting the blame on someone other than the one's with a stack of business cards on their desk.
I worked there 10 years....I wouldn't be offended at all, what you say is true. I wouldn't shead a tear if they were bought out and a new culture instilled. The company is filled with greed and ego. IMO the only service they have that is worth the price is the internet, TV is overpriced and you get squat for the money.Quote:

I am that much closer to a dirtial anteannae. I need help though. my TV has a digital tuner install. Whats a good digital HD antannae cost?
I actually think their internet services are pretty good people in other areas pay a lot more and get less bandwidth. I think OV is pretty expensive though considering it leeches on your bandwidth that you already have if you have OOL.
About 10 minutes into the Oscar broadcast it was switched back on.
Supposedly they reached a deal, probably means your bill will be going up soon.
OK.....
so seriously.. my TV has a digital tuner built in.
how expensive and effective is a digital antennae?

has everything you need to know. However you won't even get 10 channels with over the air HDTV broadcasts.
Exactly- whenever "they " reach a deal - our bill goes up (hopefully not mine since I have FIOS)
