Time Warner Cable, Raleigh, Wake Forest, etc. (live, charge)

Just a heads up for those that use Time Warner Cable. Thousands of people (according to the customer service individual I spoke to) are experiencing problems connecting with channels 25 and above. She said "they are diligently working on trying to find and correct the problem).

Just thought I'd let folks here know so they don't waste their time on hold FOREVER. When I called there was no automated indication of a problem. In fact it said there had been no reported problems in my area. After 1/2 hour on the phone..holding...I was advised indeed there was a problem.

Okay, you're welcome.

Just discovered this myself. Wish I'd waited a bit and read this thread - could have been doing something more productive! At least we have the internets.

Yup, me too - they finally put the automated note on. I'm missing Morning Joe!

I'm having trouble with my HD channels and since I am new to HD (just got the HD box), I figured they were trying to stick me with yet another charge. Thank you, thank you, thank you for lowering my blood pressure. It's odd because I can get "normal" TCM on 67 (which is what I was watching when it when out on 1621), and didn't think to try other "normal" cable channels. Whew...

Hopefully they'll fix it before tomorrow. I would hate missing the five hours of "House" re-runs I watch every Thursday.

Yes, I'm pathetic.

We realized it this morning too when the kids were watching TV and their beloved Nickelodeon channel went out in the middle of their program.

The message on the TV read "To receive this channel, Call TWC at..."

For a minute I thought they had removed channels from our package. I was all set to call them and cancel everything with them until I heard about the outages (when I called the automated message was on).

It's more than just above 25, I can't get ANY of the networks, only Fox50. Glad it isn't just me. I'm SO tired of calling and getting a busy signal.

ETA: I attempted to use their live chat and I was #376 in line. I cannot WAIT to dump TWC and go for U-verse if we ever get it in WF.

Shame they don't say what the problem is and when service will be resumed on the TV message rather than advise call customer service - but then communication never has been one of TWC's strong points

maybe they should just drop the 'C" from TWC

Where is the automated message? I've still got the "call # to subscribe to this channel" message on 99% of my channels.

So glad I've got UNCTV, my little one would be sad to miss her favorite morning show (Super Why) and it gives me 10 minutes to gulp coffee.

Interesting . . . we are only having the problem with the tv that is connected through the DVR box. My little bedroom tv that is directly connected to the cable gets all the channels.
