Strange. I'm not in KC, but have had some odd problems like this in the past. Always came down to it being a bad box.

Yep...we haven't experienced all the things you have described, but #4 is most irritating.
IMO...their new system sucks! |

I have TW, and saw the stuff about the upgrade, paid no attention, and have had no problems.
well...other than the usual constant problems

I live in KC with TWC. I haven't noticed those issues. I will keep an eye on it though...

If FiOS is available in your area ... I'd go that route.

I have Time Warner DVR and in the last couple of weeks the piece of shit has gotten progressively worse. The DVR memory is down to like three hours. I use to be able to have two or three football games, a couple of movies, at least ten hours worth of content and now I can't get more than two or three. It will delete whatever I have saved to make room for the new recording or come on and say I don't have enough disk space to record what's coming on. Half way through 24 last night it cut it off. The TW lady said that she'll just have to send a tech out to look at it. Problem is I don't have three hours during working hours to sit around and wait.
I don't know if what your talking about has anything to do with it or if this is something different. Either way it's pissing me off. It's amazing how different DVR has changed my way of watching TV and how much you really hate commercials. BTW what happened on 24? Did the Prez wake up and save the day? Did Rainman Jr. help Jack save the day? Or did the VP nuke the rags and really permanently save the day? |

I just recently received a new box since my old one broke down on me, and it is acted weird ever since i've had it. Of the ones you mentioned, I definitely notice #1, but another thing that pisses me off is the new box turns off on it's own each night. So when I wake up in the morning, I have to turn the tv on, and then turn the cable box on, so it starts off on channel 1. It sounds like a small thing, but it's just an annoying inconvenience that my last box didn't have.
No offense to any of their employees on here, but I think TW Cable might be the worst company in the country. I despise them and have had nothing but problems with their cable and internet service. I'm moving in a few months, hopefully TW Cable isn't in Nashville. |
