shadyman777 sez: "It may be clunky looking in the TV guide having both channels go side by side with the first being SD and second being HD, but it'd work. I think it'd be best if it were a setting option..."
ARGH!! NONONO!! :) I definitely do NOT want to have to page through HD channels that I do not use and do not want to see.
If anyone at RCN is considering this awful idea, PLEASE make it work this way on only the HD boxes. Send a different guide omitting the HD channels entirely to the SD boxes. Actually, that's a really good idea anyway. Give me a guide that shows only what I have access to. No HD, No Spanish channels. replyshadyman777 @ 12th Oct 01:00PM: Re: [CATV] Crush Line-Up (LHV ONLY) - Feedback Requested
The HD channel would only be listed next to the SD channel if access is given to that channel only. I agree it shouldn't be side by side on all boxes.
However, RCN won't give you a list that shows only channels you get, they want you to see the other options out there... you can however, skip these channels from showing up in your guide via your box I believe. RCN won't give you the option not to see what they offer in hopes you'll get them replyanon @ 12th Oct 04:58PM: Re: [CATV] Crush Line-Up (LHV ONLY) - Feedback Requested
I dunno...having SD channel then hd channel could be kind of clunky. However if we had an option to ONLY show HD channels that would be real nice. replycypherstream @ 13th Oct 08:06AM: Re: [CATV] Crush Line-Up (LHV ONLY) - Feedback Requested
I know Fios, TWC and Cablevision have been toying with 4 digit channel numbers for some time now, but are they compatable with all Cable Card equipment?
If so, simply adding a 1 in front is a great idea, until Aptiv 3.5.
Cablevision uses SARA on SA Settops and they have the ability to show the HD broadcast on SD numbers. For example KYW 3, type 03, and voila - it's in HD.
However, the option still needs to be there to get to the SD feed just in case. Maybe the current show is not offered in HD, so why record it in HD with pillarbars and take away extra precious hard drive space on a DVR? I'm not sure how Cablevision folks are dealing with that, but right here on BBR there were complaints about it in their forums: »SD channel mapping to be replaced by HD feed.
I don't know, but DirecTV and Dish Network users enjoy their HD guide. That's mostly because of their guide software though... can't help you out there! replyshadyman777 @ 13th Oct 09:00AM: Re: [CATV] Crush Line-Up (LHV ONLY) - Feedback Requested

This is exactly what i'd wish we'd have pre and post crush. it'd make it THAT much more easier for someone who doesn't grasp the idea of a "one" in front of the SD channel number. Ie.. Older people who get convinced by their younger relatives to get HD. It's easier to say, press guide, then select "HD Programming".... or something to that effect. Ya know?
And Jason, I think you should re-roll those stickers we had many years ago that had the channel list on them. That'd also help the older generation. Regardless if you're sending paper lists. Even with TV guide on the box, and being 24 (14 or so at the time stickers were rolled out), I still liked those stickers. They were VERY useful. replyanon @ 13th Oct 01:13PM: Re: [CATV] Crush Line-Up (LHV ONLY) - Feedback Requested
You can filter the channels in the guide to only HD channels, or ones that you subscribe to. If you hit the guide button, then hit A, a list of options will show up. You can show HD channels only, a list of favorites or skip a ton of channels you don't get. I use it to skip all the SD channels that I get in HD, it helps those who want the "out of sight, out of mind" approach. replysrr2 @ 13th Oct 05:23PM: Re: [CATV] Crush Line-Up (LHV ONLY) - Feedback Requested

Unfortunately, the DCT700 doesn't have this capability. replyalanisrox69 @ 13th Oct 06:32PM: Re: [CATV] Crush Line-Up (LHV ONLY) - Feedback Requested

Because the DCT700 is SD only. -- CHECK YOUR FSLC TAXES!!! replysrr2 @ 13th Oct 07:39PM: Re: [CATV] Crush Line-Up (LHV ONLY) - Feedback Requested
Derek sez: "Because the DCT700 is SD only."
Well, yeah. What better reason could one ask either to have a guide without HD listings or the ability to filter the HD listings from the full guide.
My point was never to filter *for* HD content, but to exclude it. And the Spanish stuff. And Fox News. replyFlyersfan72 @ 26th Oct 03:08PM: Re: [CATV] Crush Line-Up (LHV ONLY) - Feedback Requested
Hi Jason. Just wondering if there will be multiple "crushed" lineups similar to what exists today (rebuild and non-rebuild). Or will I continue to have the same channels being in a non-rebuild area? reply
