[mythtv-users] OT: RCN cable opinions?

[Patrick Davila]

I've been subscribed to RCN (in the Lehigh Valley) for the last several
years. They're not bad compared to some of the other providers out there.
They keep a large portion (maybe 60%-70%) of their channels unencrypted so
you can capture shows  with a QAM card or via firewire. They also maintain
an analog feed for the basic channels (below 100). The biggest gripe I
have with them is that they charge a monthly rental fee for the cable
boxes while the satellite providers basically give away their equipment.
Their cable modem service is decent. I can get up to 20 down/2 up with
them if I so choose. They do block port 80 unless you get a "business
account" but that's not a big deal as you can see by my blog address.
