Reuters today said that Cablevision would have “ the capacity ” to carry over 500 high - definition TV channel . This would include the 15 channels that Lazarus - like startup Voom HD Networks ( now owned by Cablevision ) plans to introduce next Tuesday , along with the 20 - some HD TV channel that are allegedly in the lineup now plus , I hypothesise , 460 more distribution channel of come what may . ( Never mind the fact that Cablevision does n’t even express BBC America , the company itself acknowledges there are not yet 500 channel deserving of HD programming . )
As a Cablevision contributor with all of the communication channel the immune carrier now offers , all I can say is , “ Please , dear God , no more programing ! ” Why would I say this ?
The story mentions that Comcast and DirecTV are also progress up capacity for HD , but not once does the storey observe how the Inferno anyone mean to access this regular sh’load of content . Cablevision , free-base mostly in and around the New York metropolitan area , uses the same Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD that its archrival Time Warner Cable NYC uses , yet with an even worse user interface , if you’re able to imagine it :
• There ’s no way of life to look for show ( without growing a full face fungus in the process )
• There are 17 superfluous options for schedule a time of year liberty chit , yet no style to skip recording one given episode
• By nonremittal , older subject matter stay and when capacity is reached it stop recording newfangled content , with no admonition
• DVR and VOD options are separate communication channel , so there ’s no good way to do contextual search , among many other problems
I have been contemplating it , but now I will solemnly vow it : I will walk the fiery - ember path towards a Cablevision CableCard , to practice with DVRs from TiVo and Microsoft . I will do so in the name of Giz , and in the name of 500 - duct shitty - DVR sufferers everywhere . Down with the CableCo - mandated EPG ! ! !
