Title: TIME WARNER
still uses East Coast feeds for about 10-20 channels, which makes all TV Guides useless. Their pricing policy in zip 92583 keeps them very high compared to San Antonio Texas.They even set uip an office of the President in Orange County CA, and had to close it because of so many complaints. The CA PUC is brain dead and does not care about consumers. The CA PUC has destroyd the free enterprise system in CA by writing more and more regulations favoring a business over consumers in stead of de-regulating.

Title: Good, but expensive
I've had Charter's HDTV DVR service for over a year now in Rancho Cucamonga. The channels are good - only wish there was NFL Network. Installation usually sucks - the installers always seem to leave at the first sign of any signal coming through onto your TV, and then you have to either pull their hair or handcuff them to the door to keep them there until you verify that you are actually receiving enough bandwidth to receive all of your channels - and if you failed at that, good luck trying to explain to somebody over the phone that your signal isn't strong enough and that you need somebody to come out and boost the signal. Their service is horrible, as I have actually been in arguments over the phone with their customer service in the past. Quality of the picture and sound is really good - you're hard pressed to notice a difference in HDTV signals with Dolby Digital. The MOXI unit (the HD DVR) is a love-it or leave-it situation. There's really no true "guide" to speak of - it clumps everything into groups like Kids, News, Sports, HDTV, Movies, etc. The unit seemed to be pretty reliable though.

Title: Good quality when its not pixelized
i rated the picture quality so low because the reception cuts out so so much nowadays. we're going to switch to a new provider because of it. i even have a boosted direct line from the source, and still the picture regularly cuts out/pixelizes every time im watching something. usually cant hear an entire segment of dialog because the whole picture freezes.
time warner has simply spread themselfs too thin and at the time of this writing: cant handle the amount of traffic over their cables. my neighbors who have the same service experience the same pixels i do. its universal amongst time warner.

Title: Not enough HD channels
When HD comes it it is great, but I have been getting drop outs at random times to the point where all HD channels were un watchable for an entire day. If it continues I will have to have someone look at the setup. It could be poor quality cable in my building, but I am not sure why it would work sometimes and not others.
They need to add HD Discovery, they don't have it in Ventura County for some reason, and I don't know why they even have analog channels. I can't get Direct TV in my location, otherwise I would use them (all channels digital, more HD choices), but if you can't get direct tv, its a good second choice.

Title: Not great but good
Another channel not on the list but available from Time Warner is TNT HD which is channel 1121. If you want to see HBO HD or Showtime HD you must subscribe to those channels. If you want to watch INHD, INHD2, HD Net, HDNet Movies, and ESPN HD you have to subscribe to the HDTV Plus Tier which comes out to $5 a month extra. Free channels are CBS HD, NBC HD, ABC HD, KCET HD, FOX HD, Discovery HD Theater, and TNT HD. More channels are supposed to be available soon, but no actual timeline has been presented from the company.

Title: Not too shabby overall
I've had Cox HDTV service ever since it became available over two years ago and have been happy with it for the most part. The available HD programming could be better but it has been steadily improving. I liked that they most recently added TNT-HD (ch. 718) for a total of 13 HDTV channels available. I wish they would add KCET-HD and also KCAL-HD and FSN-HD for Laker games. The picture quality is very good with little compression artifacts and the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is fantastic. The BEST part is the dual-tuner HD-DVR (Moto 6412), which has changed my tv viewing habits. Also Video On-demand is a pretty cool feature too.

Title: No Clear QUAM
Note, Cox does not send its unencrypted signal in Clear QUAM. I asked their service rep if their channels were unencrypted clear QUAM, he said "Yes, the lower 100 channels are unencrypted." I bought a tunner only to find out their signal is NOT clear QUAM. It may be unencrypted but it is narrow band so it will not work with a lot of stock HD tuners! You will need to buy a tuner that is compatible with their proprietary narrow band signal.

Title: Not enough programming, some MOXI issues
As of now, I'm only getting 7 channels in HD. I was told more would be available this past summer and now they are saying that they "hope" to have the upgrade installed by the end of the year. It's very frustrating to watch a show that is broadcast elsewhere in HD but your cable company doesn't have it. The MOXI is pretty good. I was told it had room for 8-16 hours of HD programming so I have to constantly keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get too full. More space would be appreciated. It usually works like a charm, but occasionally an NBC show will record with no sound or a CBS show will record with no center channel sound. The CBS issue hasn't happened since last season, but the NBC issue happened last week. Tried to work with customer service and a guy came out to look at it, but he couldn't help me and never got back to me after saying that he would.

Title: Offering is good; Moxi DVR is garbage!
I switched over from Directv to get HD channels for much less $. When the channel works, the quality of HD is amazing at 1080i. I recently watched US Open and it was great. However, there is some distorted pixilation occaisionally with ABC, and quite often with ESPN HD (for which Adelphia charges addl $1.50/mo).
The real fault with Adelphia is their customer service and the Moxi DVR box. I'm on my FIFTH tech call as I write this. Ugh. The Moxi box is the worst DVR around. Its feature are a joke and it's slow and riddled with problems.

Funny thing. They say they offer KCBS-DT, but they don't. I've sent them an email about it and I got a responce saying they would take a look at it. I don't excpect anything. The other pictures are really nice. REALLY NICE. Especially ESPN. Better lighting.
Regular HD-TV over rabbit ears looks better because it doesn't look as compressed. It's a little detail, but still.
We've also had problems with the PVR, but they will come out and swap it out.

Title: Better than Sattellite in my opinion...
Adelphia is rather expensive, but you get quite a lot of features. The MOXI HD-DVR works much better than expected. However, pictures get choppy on fast movement on almost all HD channels; hence, I took off a star. Still HD looks great though, but I wish there were more channels. Also, no DVI support with MOXI / Motorola unit, even though the unit has the DVI output, Adelphia doesn't support it.
