Cablevision 702 (Brookhaven, Huntington, Huntington Station: promotional, price, moving to)

[dooser11]

Does anyone have a problem where channel 702 (CBS-HD) on Cablevision freezes from time to time. This is the only channel we have a problem with it (occurred today during the Jets Game), every other channel works fine including regular CBS-2. Cablevision says everything is fine, then they send someone out during the week when the problem doesn't exist. It then doesn't get fixed since its working fine weekdays.

I notice this mostly during football and 60 minutes. Any suggestions? We are in Huntington Station.

Yeah, I suggest you switch to Fios....I had the same problems and last year it was so bad I could not watch the Super Bowl. I have since switched to Fios and have ZERO complaints. Far superior product.

I get that problem with hgtv, and the sci-fi channel all the time. CV told me it was the broadcaster. If it was the broadcaster, my friends with Fios, and directv would have the problem also, but dont. I am getting tired of CV's declining service, and pic Quality. No fois for me in Brookhaven, i might have to go w/ Directv.

Yes, I had the same prob. with Cable Visions hd stations. I just went with FIOS..LUV IT! Many more stations & my HD channels are more clearer!

Cable 700 series channels suck !!
It makes you feel stupid with the remote trying to change channels. Not to mention there is no "high" in "high definition". I bet Fios channel 02 should look better than Cable 702.

Would love to go to Fios, but the price would be just too much. I was told I'd need an HD box in every room I wanted HD in (expected of course) and then a SEPARATE box in rooms I don't currently have any box in (rooms that I simply run a basic cable line from the wall, namely my bathrooms and a laundry room)

CV will be moving to that in the near future.

Just echoing the many responses in here, I had the same problem with MANY CV channels, they never could fix it, and I switched to FIOS and have never had the problem again.

There were 5 verizon trucks on my street in 1 day doing FIOS installs last week!

Even after paying for the boxes, it will probably still be cheaper than what you're paying for CV if you're not on a promotional plan.

I have 2 HD DVR's, 1 standard box, every movie channel, pretty much the whole she-bang, internet, phone... I pay a total of right around $140. My CV bill for less channels and crappy reception was about $40 more.

Are you in brookhaven? If so you are f$%K'd. TOB has blocked VZ for the video franchise many times. VZ wont finish wiring up Brookhaven until they get the approval from TOB.
