Perhaps mention that they

Perhaps mention that they call it "digital cable" and the first 100 channels are analog and will stay analog even after 2/17/09. What is meant by an "advanced fiber network" anyway? Do they have battery back-up for the phone? How about HSIA is shared by the neighborhood........not all channels on all TV's.........shall we go on?

Has Time Warner managed to reduce the amount of "Channel Not Available" messages when trying to access their Switched digital channels? I'm tempted to move back because the basic service is included with my apartment so I'd only need to pay for a box.

Thanks.

I haven't seen "Channel not

I haven't seen "Channel not available" for the last few months. I did when twc started adding HD channels last summer.....
