Mediacom will probably send a bill, I assume you'll get internet through them as well? If so you'll have to go there to set up your account/get your modem and what not, so you'll have your own account through Mediacom.

Random mediacom question.

My property management people have informed me I need to pick up a cable box when I move into my apartment in August. Will I only get cable whichever room this cable box is in? I don't know, since I have been DirecTV since I remember, and I'm not allowed to do satellite at this place.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I do.
I don't pay for the HD package, so that Ames Tribune article suggests that I don't get those channels. I'm letting the TV do the search thing. We'll see here what happens.

Right now, I only have Mediacom basic, I'm guessing no new channels right?

I have all the 51.1 stuff.

If your tv's are new enough to have digital tuners you'll be fine, if they don't then you'll need a digital converter or whatever they're called.

Scrolling through right now. I don't see anything new.

The 15.1 and such channels are news channels that are in the lower 800's I believe, though I may be wrong. Let me know what's up and I might do the same thing to my TV.

I think the upgrade mostly added new HD channels, which you won't get without an HD box.

Depends on if there is another cable hook up in another room, if so you will get cable in all rooms. But in order to get the 700-800's you need a box, so that will be your HD room.
