Anyone having Cablevision Issues right now? On Demand?

I am getting really sick of Cablevision. I'd give anything to have Fios available in my area.

We were having a Homeland mini marathon and went to start a new episode and got the dreaded "unable to display this information" screen that we get every so often. The guide is working like crap and it's slower than ever!

We've also been having problems with our phone that we pay a whopping $30/month for only because it lowers the rest of the services. We're constantly having to reset the modem to get the phone to work.

Sorry for the vent but I'm just really sick of their shit.ty service and we can't even threaten to cancel because they know Fios isn't available in our stupid area. Chat Icon Chat Icon

I had issues about 10 pm last night. Not that annoying message...I get that often but couldn't even access episode lists.

I hate this new channel guide! Sometimes it records things. It's so annoying! I find that all these shows that are coming back from winter break are not recording!

Last night I had the same issue with all my demand channels and some random channels were just black last night or had poor reception.

I've been having a similar issue! I record General Hospital every day, first run. There's a new episode every weekday, unless it's a holiday. I never change the recording but sometimes it just won't record! But the lovely CS rep told DH that she didn't believe him when he said it does that. Chat Icon Chat Icon

I have had issues with On Demand movies in the past
One time I called and he walked me through rebooting the box and it worked
So the next time I just unplugged the box and rebooted it myself and then it was fine
Those boxes are awful- SOOO glitchy

We did that 2x and still nothing. I feel like I have to reboot it every couple of weeks but DH was told by a technician that we should just be glad we don't have Network DVR Chat Icon Chat Icon

I rebooted last night and still had the same issue. We just got a new box just a few weeks ago.

Its becoming quite frustrating because at least 1x a week we have channels blacked out for no reason.

Re: Anyone having Cablevision Issues right now? On Demand?

I am SOOOO over cablevision
Same thing with us.
It's annoying and frustrating.
Our only saving grace is that we have Tivo so we don't have to use their horrendous DVR system
Once you have Tivo you will NEVER go back to that antiquated BS Cablevision DVR

I keep trying to get DH to get TIVO but it's a little on the $$ side. I'd love to get rid of CV altogether and just have a Roku or Hulu Plus but now that hockey's back, I need MSG!!

I have DVR plus and it's so frustrating. Half the time the shows are unwatchable or unavailable. I can't figure out why I'm paying for the stupid service at all. I keep saying I need to call them and complain
