New Channels?

[Harrelson 69]

Will April bring the rush of new channels? Since Cablevision is reclaiming bandwith, should we deluge them with new requests?

Stop the needless posts

What's your excuse for starting this thread this month? You usually state that "It's been quiet" and "I just wanted to give people a place to share any news."

We've had several threads started lately that all discuss new additions, was this really necessary? Do you feel the need to have any new channels posted in your thread first?

See:
"More HD soon???"
"Cablevision to Add 2 New VOD Channels "
"CV Bandwidth Reclamation project"
"CableCARD Users Can't Get Voom HD "

Doubtful. Since the moving of VOOM to SDV will not start until the middle of April, and not be completed until May, I would expect late May as the earliest for the next wave.

Is cablevision physically maxed out at the moment in terms of bandwidth? So moving forward, any new channels will require either SDV, or reclaiming of analog channels?

The moving of VOOM to SDV, frees up those 15 channel spaces for another 15 HD channels a majority of subs want that CableCard subs will be able to receive. After that they will have to remove analog to free up more space, otherwise more channels go SDV, which will anger subs since a cable box is needed for SDV at this time. So it would seem Cablevision is up against the wall with bandwidth but will make the necessary moves to free up space for more HD channels.

Let's see....1,000,000 HD subs 15,000 cable card subs. I think you screw the CC subs to please the HD subs. There are fixes coming soon for all SDV issues relating to cable cards. CV is making the right move.
