thank you Charles,<br> I spoke with Cablevision CUS and he informed me that by the end of February CV is going 100% digital and even for basic line-up we will have to have their boxes? (and , i have no doubts, pay for them). This whole cable TV provider<br>
sh%% smelss like a good old mafia. I also was informed by CV's rep that they will encrypt the basic channels too.<br>I'm not sure if this is 100$ correct though.<br><br>Let's say that it is . In this situation what would be the best ( after cutting cabel off :) ) course of action:<br>
I want to be able to record at least 2 channels and watch one.<br><br>Thank you<br>Andrew<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at 12:26 AM, Charles Wright <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cpwright@gmail.com">cpwright@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
To a first order approximation the only ClearQAM channels that are<br>
WCBS, WNBC, WNBCDT2, WNBCDT4, WNYW, WABC, WABCDT2, WABCDT3, WWOR,<br>
WPIX,NEWS 12, WNET, WNETDT2,WLIW, WLIWDT2, WLIWDT3.<br>
<br>
There are also some shopping/non-english channels, but I didn't keep<br>
them in my database.<br>
<br>
For the family cable channel's you'll need a cable box. I can't get<br>
Firewire to work reliably (with an SA4250HD), so I use a PVR-150 to<br>
capture the analog.<br>
