Tune to MSG and tell me what you see. 
Anyone want to guess how long it will be gone for? My guess is they either have it back for Tuesdays Sabres game (unlikely) or this goes at least a month.
Well since I donât technically work there anymoreâŚ
Theyâre working on some post game feed BS from the arena for YNN which leads me to believe this could be happening for a while.

When this whole thing gets resolved it wonât have much to do with the sabresâŚ
NYC has a HUGGGEEE customer base and MSG broadcasts all the local games.
I canât speak for FIOS but DirecTV has a 5 tuner dvr that is used as a home media center to allow all receivers in the house to have DVR. might be worth looking into.
FIOS dvrâs are viewable through the whole house as well. But yes, you do need extra regular boxes for every TV. ($5/month)
Fios boxes are presently two tuner only and to my knowledge IMG 1.9 doesnât do tuner pooling yet with multiple DVRs, Directv is still the best option if you are going to want use the providers hardware.
We have 2 and we just set some stuff to record on 1 and other stuff to record on the other for the only time we had >2 things recording at once. Theyâre all viewable housewide. Directâs channel packages seem a lot worse IMO and you canât get internet/phone from them. With west feeds and stuff 5 tuners is pretty excessive.
I had the 35/35 with ultimate tv package. Was great till all the promotional discounts ran out, got expensive real fast. I switched to 15/5 with prime tv package, saved me $50 a month. Donât notice a difference with internet, miss some channels but most of them I never watched anyway. Have a multi-room DVR and HD set top boxâs for two other tvâs. Multi-room DVR lets you watch and record shows on all receivers.
There was a TWC ad in The Buff News advising customers that âswitchingâ will not help your situation lol.
The nerveâŚ
So this creates a bottleneck making speeds the same as coax the whole way, correct?
Coax isnât slow people have done like 300-400Mb over coax
When the time comes TWC can use the current fiber that is in place and use wavelength division multiplexing to bring fiber into homes or EPON(ethernet Passive Optical Network) basically they are just ways to split multiple customer up on a pair of fiber.
I donât think the benefits out weight the initial cost at the current time
Iâve got fios. Yes, itâs fiber from the pole to my house (buried fiber actually, which is great). Guess what it splits into at the ONT in my garage though for distribution to the FIOS router? Yep, coax. Coax at the individual user end is not an issue.
There is more bottleneck in the MOCA standard used between the ONT and the fios router then any coax.
I think MOCA 1.1 is rated for 175mb/s⌠A cable modem with docsis 3 in WNY can do 42.88x4 chs and we should see 8 chs in the future, 343mb/s. Yet in both systems, we are capped a lot lower then the system could handle.
Also I think the ONT is provisioned for 1Gbit, coax is near 8Gbps at 1000MHz, WNY is not a 1000Mhz system, its about 750mhz, so near 6Gbps.
Personally I think Fiber is the future, verizon isnât. TWC has used fiber for years and years, just never dumb enough or needed to send it to every home⌠Not now, and not in a long time, in the future? Yes, fiber is the way to go.
Fiber has a 129Terabit/s theoretical maximum, that is not needed to hit every home, and there just isnât enough content.
.
Itâs coming sooner then you thinkâŚ
I know theyâre looking at EPON systems to replace CMTS at some pointâŚItâs already demoed somewhere in the country.
Right now 40Gb or 100Gb per wave length is the maximum you will seeâŚHowever with DWDM you can get 40 channels or more depending on vendor but this isnât a real option for homes the transponders are $$$$$.
I just had to sit through some stupid training etc on EPON since they want to use it for commercial customers instead of burning so much fiber with CWDM.
I know your talking to jabbu im not a TWC fan boy just know the technical side well at least the transport side between the hubs/core network once its leaves the hub I couldnât give a fuck about coax/RF
^ jabbu, I know you work for them but are you a paid spokesman? Sounds like you really drink the TWC kool aid on every issue.
