So a while back, maybe three or four months ago, I downgraded our TV package from TWC to their "starter" tier. This is just the six channels that most people can get OTA (I can't -- only PBS), TBS, The Weather Channel, Time Warner's news channel, and a few other shopping channels. It was part of a philosophy shift for us to streaming. In fact I was just trying to upgrade to a higher internet tier and cancel cable altogether, but they made it cheaper to have the starter TV bundled with it because they are insane and think I won't just call when the year is up.
The thing is though that while my internet increased, the channels never went away on my Roamio. The premiums left me, but the normal cable tier I was on remained. I've had to repair the card in it even after I upgraded the HD to 3 TB and thought I might lose them then, but still I kept the channels.
I then thought that maybe they had overlooked our switch somehow (though we are listed as Starter TV on the website), or that maybe something had to be physically done to our line coming into the house, and honestly I had forgotten I was getting extra until yesterday.
I bought a used Premiere on craigslist, activated it, tossed in a cablecard, and found that all our excess channels were gone. I hadn't considered this a possibility because I had more or less forgotten that I was getting channels I shouldn't be so I was disappointed with that, but I have no room to complain obviously.
I figured I just interacted with them one too many times when I should have stayed quiet, but later that night I went back to the living room and found my kid watching Nickelodeon. My Roamio still has all the channels. The Premiere has only what I am supposed to have. How is this possible?
