Drew in the desert Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Anyone here receiving their HD service through COX or any other cable provider? I am considering going this route to get HD, but I am not sure it is worth the extra $$ since there aren't many channels broadcasting in HD. I really just want it for the NFL season and HBO. Any comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygmn Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 check to ensure your locals do not already broadcast in HDTV....then all you need is HD receiver and antenna.....which is what I do...except I am using a direcTV receiver which will also receive OTA HD signals Also..FOX is not a true HDTV....and they tend not to have much HD material... CBS....has a bunch of HD material and is worth it just for the MASTERS and the NFL playoffs in HDTV... Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoker Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 In addition, it's my understanding ESPN is not true HD but upconverted. If you are only (really) into NFL then a over the air receiver is your best bet. My brother in law had COX HD here in Tulsa and ESPN was not as good as CBS. Fox is suppose to go HD this fall but time will tell. He was paying around 90 per month and was dissatisfied. He finally returned to standard Dish Network.

Royster Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 We have HD service from Time Warner. It seems alright with me. I can just call have a repairman here, a new ect for no addional cost. I am not sure if there is better out there but we like it, and it is not that much of anadditonl charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jephdood Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Yep. I'm with Comcast and the monthly charge for the HD box is only $5 above regular digital cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Comcast here too.. Remember you MUST have a HDTV and a box...if on cable that is a HD box to get true..HD signals.. All I can confirm is OMG yes!!!! It is great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I am geting it through Bright House in mIchigan and it is quite nice. For some reason I "lost" DD 5.1 about 6 weeks ago and can only listen in analog Prologic. Have not had the time to diagnose. Picture is sweet. I get 8 HD stations for $ 5 extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgb Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Adelphia has a grand total of crappola for HD. The worst cable company on the planet. Hope they close down the bastards, but it doesn't look like it'll happen. There is a sat service called VOOM that has 30 odd HD channels.
