Cablevision BLOWS!!!

[T-Bird76]

I was in corp2 58 and 28 (Freeport Shop) Dester Ellis was my primary and Mark Millwater my other trainer. And Hicksville isnt the training center for OSP or Field Service anymore. The shop on Grumman Road is where all Field Service and OSP training is done now. Sounds like you did some timewith them too. across the street from the NCPD helipad is the training center. And I was making more than USAirways but I am making double and than some between my two jobs now. Plus frankly, I am not a fan of running drops, dinking off with nodes, frozen taps, and having to sit on a damn pole for 3 hours looking for signal distortion and low Dbmv that doesnt exist.

See I told you no one forgets the trainers. I'll have to give Mark a call this week..haven't talked to him in sometime...I wonder if he remembers you?

[hiss srq]

Most certainly. In fact, he's on my facebook.

I understand that the i touch doesnt connect to cellular networks. It is not ment to be used as a phone but it is linked into the program which they are trying to develop. As far as the WiFi hot spots go, they have been around now a while. The feature you speak about (A form of call forwarding) is called the Find Me function.

Features like that exist if you are in a WiFi hotspot you can use a VOIP service on your iPod Touch that will let you make calls. I guess it would make sense if Cablevision would develop their own VOIP app that you can use for the iPod Touch. I can't see them going any further with linking it with OV or cell towers because all apps put out for the iPhone/iPod have to be certified by Apple and I highly doubt Apple would approve of such a thing because it would cut into iPhone sales.

Also if anyone is looking for a good (and free) call forwarding service I would suggest looking into Google Voice. You can make up your own number and link all of your phones to it and once that number is called all the phones ring so you don't have to give out multiple phone numbers and you can also make international calls and have SMS forwarding.

If you want to try it out send me a PM or you can request and invite here ( it usually takes about a week for an answer)

Is Cablevision the only cable company that Scripps has taken these channels off of?

Part II

Cablevision vs. ABC

http://cablevision.com/abc/

[PhilDernerJr]

Ha. I used that little box on the side to tell ABC to PLEASE drop Cablevision. I used some not so nice language as well.

[Fighting_falcon_51]

Haha. This is starting to become ridiculous. It seems like Scripps and ABC have (had) the same type of problem with Cablevision which means that networks are becoming more greedy or Cablevision doesn't wanna pay up.

Probably both.

[moose135]

...or Cablevision doesn't wanna pay up.

And pass that cost along to you...
