What do you think about Time Warner Cable's plans to reorganize channels by genre?

I love the idea, it will make it more convenient to navigate!

It's a bad idea, since I'll have to find my favorite channels all over again.

It will probably depend on the new packages and pricing.

The analog channels are

The analog channels are staying put, in the same numbers for the most part (a very small handful are shifting to new places). Supposedly if you have basic/standard service with a digital receiver/DVR, you'll also have access to the analog channels you already receive in digital, grouped into genres above the 100s. Kind of like that idea. Wish there was a way I could disable the sub-100 channels from appearing on the guide (like U-Verse lets you do).

My biggest question/hope in this whole thing is whether we'll finally get that Navigator software in this change. All the imagery they have on the promo materials for the channel changes has the Navigator-style menus on it, but I know they've had trouble in past getting Navigator to work in switched-digital-video markets (ie. why Milwaukee got it but we didn't).

I hope they are making their channels more consistent across the whole country. At least if you are in a different TWC area you will be able to find channels easier. If they do a good job of it, I think organizing by genre might be nice.

The idea is to have channels be the same across all TWC footprints across the country.

teenbean2: digitaldean - I just hooked my outdoor antenna to the existing cable junction box that is mounted outside the box. I unscrewed the Time Warner Cable and hooked my cable to the cable wire going into...

Keith: It looks good to me. Obviously a great improvement over what it was. I like the colors, the bug on the right with the simple temp and time, the panning out, and the text scroll at the bottom....
TvBoy: Damn, For as long as it took to get that thing launched, I was pretty disappointed. Not that impressive. Better than the last set, but not worth the price paid.
