After a couple of months of hype, Time Warner has finally switched around my channels. I had to go back into my DVR list and change the settings for all of my programs. I forgot to switch Saturday Night Live so I missed two weeks of them. I’m not the best at looking at all of my recordings sometimes.
TWC is also promising a new GUI for the cable box. It’s called Navigator and it’s much more modern looking than the current front-end. My parents already have it in their home. They don’t even live in a metro area and it’s already been downloaded into their cable box.
I called Time Warner this morning and asked why it hadn’t rolled out here in downtown Cleveland. The representative, who was one of the most helpful I’ve ever had while calling TWC, told me I’m actually in the Pennsylvania rate plan area and that will be the last of all of the regions to get the upgrade.
I really liked my Comcast while I had it out in Lorain County but then they did this big cable switch so Comcast pulled out of Northern Ohio. I do like a lot about Time Warner but Comcast wins when it comes to DVR and OnDemand.
I’ll post a review when Navigator finally downloads to my cablebox. The Time Warner rep said that would be this week or the next week for people wondering the same thing.
