(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. -Kenny -- Kenny Crudup, Contractor, OSF DCE QA OSF, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142 +1 617 621 7306 kenny@osf.osf.org OSF has nothing to do with this post.
