IO Digital Cable Service

Optimum TV, formerly known as iO digital cable, is a digital cable service offered by Cablevision, available in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and parts of Pennsylvania. It includes 130 HDTV channels, interactive channels, such as games, and channels that allow viewers to browse listings of autos and homes for sale in the area, and video on demand. HD channels are free with Optimum TV to customers who subscribe to the service package that includes the SD channel. Additionally, Optimum TV comes with 46 channels of Music Choice music channels. Optimum TV also offers a DVR and an HD-DVR, for an additional cost. It was the first American company to offer BBC World News (formerly BBC World). For years, Cablevision was one of the few providers not carrying BBC America until they finally added the channel on August 25, 2011.

Notable Channels

  • The Optimum TV Digital Channel Guide channel is a non broadcast programming channel. It only displays the guide and information.
  • The Cablevision Channel Guide listings channel is sometimes used for overflow game programming in Analog areas. Channel Guide will remain on screen in All Digital areas.
  • The C-SPAN 2 channel is sometimes used for overflow game programming.
  • Voom HD Networks channels were dropped on January 20, 2009 when the service was shut down. Voom provided 15 channels, like Ch. 777 Monsters HD and Ch. 776 Kung Fu HD.
  • Food Network and HGTV were dropped temporarily starting January 1, 2010 during negotiating distribution rights.[3] The channels were activated again January 21.[4]
  • Ch. 7 ABC was dropped March 7, 2010 due to distribution rights dispute,[5] but came back on the network that same day.
  • Fox and MyNetworkTV were dropped from Cablevision on October 16 due to a contract dispute. On October 27, 2010 Fox rejected the new offer that Cablevision offered for them. As of October 30, 2010 Fox and MyNetworkTV are now back on the air.[6] (Fox station in Hartford and My Network affiliates in Hartford and Philadelphia were not affected during the dispute and stayed on the systems that carried them.)
  • The iO Games channel has been dropped, it has been replaced by a new games channel named tag games which is now available of November 10, 2010.
  • The Tennis Channel channel 399/channel 795 HD was removed when Cablevision refused to carry the Tennis Channel on a broader distribution package on September 3rd, 2011. The contract Tennis Channel had with the N.C.T.C. allowed Cablevision to carry the channel on the IO Sports and Entertainment package, which Tennis Channel had refused, because the package is about an extra six dollars a month which does not get many subscribers. Cablevision is unwilling to revisit the situation and so is the Tennis Channel as of September 2012.
  • Optimum Link on Channel 641 is now available.
  • Optimum TV DVR Plus on Channel 1001 is now available only in Bronx, NY and Connecticut. It will be coming soon in all other towns.
  • Optimum TV Quick Views on Channel 600 is now available.
  • A retransmission consent dispute with Tribune Company over fees has caused on August 17th the removal of WPIX, WPHL, and WCCT from Cablevision systems. [7]
  • On September 7, 2012 Cablevision rebranded iO TV to Optimum TV to go with the naming flow of Optimum Online and Optimum Voice, a new logo was unveiled also. Cablevision used the branding Optimum TV in the 1990’s as well.

Criticisms

  • Many have criticized the advertising of a "digital cable service" where many of the most popular channels are broadcast in an analog format.
  • High compression on digital (including HD) channels has been criticized as excessive, causing the picture to appear pixelized due to low bandwidth. While other cable providers usually multiplex 2 HD streams per 6Mhz QAM carrier, Cablevision multiplexes 3, 4 or 5 HD streams for some of its channels.
  • There is a high rate of instability of the Scientific Atlanta cable boxes.
  • Cablevision has also been criticized in the past for not having as many channels as other providers, such as Verizon FiOS, DirecTV, Dish Network, and Time Warner Cable, who carry the NFL Network, Cooking Channel, DIY Network, BBC America, Tennis Channel, and ESPN 3. Tennis Channel was on Cablevision from late September 2009 to September 3rd 2011, under the agreements of the N.C.T.C. contract, but has not since been back on Cablevision. BBC America was finally added on August 25, 2011.[8] NFL Network and NFL Red Zone were finally added on August 17, 2012.
