(I'm glad someone else brought this up first; I didn't see any scheduling
for them, so I figured I managed to exploit a bug in the system!)

Cablevision of Boston has finally caught up with the rest of the civilized
world and put the premium channels (HBO 1,2,3 SHO 1,2,3, MAX(?) 1,2) in
stereo. I believe PPV is now, too.

However, their guide *still* doesn't give a breakdown of the "multiplex"
channels (the 3 variants of HBO mentioned above, for example). You have to
use their televised multiplex guide, which now has annoying ads that obscure
the screen. Outages in the daytime are common, as well.
