Worst Cable Systems in America

From the "Cities served by two or more cable companies" thread:

Dowagiac MI (St Joseph County - South Bend DMA) has Comcast and Sister Lakes Cable (a semi-cursed system where again you need a QAM tuner to get HD locals, even though you can get other HD channels with a box. Also, WXMI is carried instead of WSJV for FOX HD.)

Time Warner in Salineville, OH (Columbiana County - Youngstown DMA). No HD, limited digital cable, 39 analog channels, and doesn't really know which market it is in. KDKA (CBS), WPGH (FOX), WPMY (MNT), WPXI (NBC), WQED (PBS), and WTAE (ABC) come from Pittsburgh. WFMJ (NBC), WKBN (CBS), WNEO (PBS), and WYTV (ABC) come from Youngstown. WTOV (NBC) comes from Steubenville: http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tvgridprint?lineupid=USA-OH34467-X&tz=US/Eastern&time=0

No CW from any market, not even in-market WFMJ-DT2. Also no WYFX-LD (FOX). I entered Salineville's ZIP code (43945) on timewarnercable.com and it said "Try another ZIP code". It's like they think this system doesn't exist.

But to the north and east, Comcast has all-digital systems with VOD and plenty of HD!

Those 3 are nasty! They all look like they are 20 years old with the 40-channel analog lineup.
