Criticisms
Many have criticized the advertising of a "digital cable service" where many of the most popular channels are broadcast in an analog format.
There is low compression on digital (including HD) channels being excessive, causing many to appear pixelized due to low bandwidth .
There is a high rate of instability of the Scientific Atlanta cable boxes.
Cablevision has also been criticised in the past for not having as many channels as other cable services, such as Verizon FiOS and Time Warner Cable , such as Tennis Channel , NFL Network , ESPNU , and ESPN 360
