Nobody said it was a "big deal", but it also shouldn't be a big deal for cablevision to fix.

I don't believe it is a matter of channel surfing so much as it is incorrectly inputting numbers.

My household is way beyond having to care what shows up on the box, but I have noticed that if someone is a little impatient or doesn't press a button firmly the next thing you know you're re-entering numbers and wind up with, 313 instead of 31.

In all fairness, I could probably count on one hand the number of times a porn title has come up in the channel guide with a little one around.

Some of the titles are over the top and pretty explicit, young kids don't need to be exposed like this regardless of what they're hearing at school.

That's what I don't get.

Haven't had CV in years but I guess the naughty channels are right by the nice ones.

The PPV channels are in the 80's I believe, pretty close to the nice ones.


"Milfs who like big bones" comes up after I pass HBO, etc.

My kid can't quite read that yet, but he's not too far off.

There's a bunch of X rated PPV movie channels clustered around the Travel Channel (96).

Yeah, like when I see "Back Door Cougars", I don't want my kid to...


Obviously I'm just having a good time here inventing new fake porn flick names.
