AT&T's U-verse wheels into Charlotte and Toledo

by Darren Murph posted Nov 24th 2008 at 11:04AM


While residents of the Triangle / Triad patiently await the rumored launch of U-verse in their respective areas, citizens of the Queen City are casually sticking their tongue out and grinning all the while. Out of nowhere, AT&T announced its U-verse TV / high-speed internet / digital phone debut in the great state of North Carolina with delivery in Charlotte, with Bob Sellman, general manager, Home Solutions, for AT&T in the Carolinas, accurately proclaiming that "cable has been the only game in town for too long." In related news, U-verse services have also claimed yet another Ohio city, and this time it's the home of the Rockets. Toledo, Ohio residents can now phone up the provider to see if their domicile is within a serviceable range, though anyone who watched last month's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition should have seen this one coming.

TWC gets official with HD expansion in the Carolinas

by Darren Murph posted Oct 28th 2008 at 9:46AM


Hot on the heels of TWC's Greensboro expansion announcement comes some official word from the carrier itself on how it'll be handling new HD rollouts in the Carolinas at large. For starters, many Raleigh-area customers received an e-mail proclaiming that 20 new high-def stations would be coming soon, though it mistakenly claims ESPN2 HD as a newcomer. At any rate, the director of digital communication at Time Warner Cable chimed in to clear things up, noting that the company is "rolling out up to 20 HD channels over the next several months, depending on the division." From the looks of things, Raleigh and Charlotte will be getting just about everything TWC has, while Greensboro, NC and Columbia, SC will receive smaller allotments. Curiously enough, the Wilmington area wasn't mentioned at all, but here's hoping they'll be on the same wave as Raleigh. For the full report from Jeff Simmermon, jump on past the break.

Time Warner Cable implementing SDV in Charlotte, NC

by Darren Murph posted Aug 23rd 2008 at 3:04PM

Time Warner Cable is keeping the SDV deployments a-rollin', and it sounds as if the next market to get hit is Charlotte, North Carolina. A local chimed in to let us know that he just recently received a letter in the mail from the carrier which informed him that the switch to SDV was coming on September 23rd. As predicted, the letter told him that he's pretty much out of luck being the CableCARD user that he is, and while TWC is supposedly working with TiVo on a tuning adapter, the best it could offer was a "hope" that it would be ready by "the end of the year." Gee, thanks. [Disclosure: Engadget is part of the Time Warner family]

HD news now available in Charlotte, NC

by Matt Burns posted Apr 23rd 2007 at 8:32AM


WSOC ABC is now the first TV station in the greater Charlotte area to broadcast their news in spectacular HD. Their signal went live yesterday for the 6:00 news - just in time for the stations 50th anniversary. The station is shooting for 35 hours a week of HD that should be easy to accomplish considering the news is on seven times a day. Local HD news is one of the best programs currently in HD. There is nothing better then seeing the highs, and the lows, of your town in high definition.
