AFC Playoffs in HD!!!

[kermtfrg]

Amazing. I already have a response from TW. Exactly what I expected but at least I tried.  Now I need a response from CBS 58.

TW response:

Your email has been forwarded to our programming department. We appreciate your input.

We may not have any firm date for you. As soon as I hear something, I will let you know. You can watch the TV Guide channel for notices of channel launches.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Very well written letter.  You should get an intelligent response back.  

Does anyone even know if CBS and FOX have fiber feeds going into TWC???

If this is not done yet, I  don't think the playoffs are a reality.  

I don't know about these channels but WTMJ is by fiber and WISN is OTA, so fiber is not necessarily a prerequisite.

I guess that's about as anticipated. My question is, why haven't I received a response yet? Did I confuse them with too much information? I tried to keep things as monosyllabic as possible.

Where's the love, Time Warner? I want my non-answer, too.

Here it is, in all of its glory:

You make some excellent points.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.


I don't know how I feel about this. I don't just want to be heard, I want them to do something about it. I'm certain I won't hear from the head of the Programming Department until early next week.

I would be nice if the head of programming joined us on this forum - not that this is ever likely to happen  

I wonder if Tom or Todd can trace back the IP addresses of the visitors to this forum to see if anyone from TW looks here

We have all sorts of info on what domains visit here.. even if we just have the IP addresses, our traffic analysis software does reverse lookups on all of them. You'd be amazed at where our traffic comes from!

But it's hard to trace individuals... especially with Time Warner also being the source for Road Runner, it's impossible to break out RR subscribers from TW employees.

CBS rules! I would like to thank CBS for actually moving faster than glacial pace on this.
My Christmas wish for MilwaukeeHDTV.org:
That Time Warner gets their act together and delivers CBS in HD to you guys! I think its a crime that all you cable-ites missed out on some AWESOME NCAA football every Saturday since September, and missing the NFL play-offs...(just shakes his head while glancing downward)
That is my Christmas wish for everyone here, that and world peace!

I hope you wish comes true!!!

I WANT MY HDTV!!!!

sounds like a good title for a song.....

...And the gods of HD sayeth: Let the Cabelites march forth from the wilderness and join the OTAR's. And the Cabelite's sayeth - make our idol TW relent and pass the CBSer unto our ATSCr's, and maketh it happen forthwith! And the OTAR's watched and saw the Cabelites hopeth but knew they had their CBSer. The world was not yet right.....
