History Helping Honor Vietnam Vets
Anyone with a picture of a service member listed on The Wall is encouraged to submit it online. Collected photographs will be displayed in the future Education Center at The Wall and appear on the VVMF’s Virtual Memorial Wall.
The partnership ties to History Channel’s upcoming six-hour special, “Vietnam in HD,” premiering Nov. 8.
History Channel is available to virtually all Suddenlink customers who have what is commonly known as Expanded Basic TV service.
Truckee, Auburn Get Faster Internet, TV Caller ID
In another upgrade, Truckee and Auburn customers can now see who’s phoning them on their TV screens with Suddenlink’s TV Caller ID service. When the phone rings, a banner pops up across the bottom of the TV screen to indicate who’s calling. The feature is free, but for it to work, customers must have a minimum combination of Suddenlink Phone and Digital TV.
These enhancements are part of Project Imagine. Suddenlink will continue to announce launches of new and enhanced services in other communities as they are confirmed.
Suddenlink Partners With C-SPAN Bus Tour

The study also found that Americans watched more than four times as much time-shifted TV – on digital video recorders (DVRs) and video-on-demand service – as online video. Households with a DVR increased to 39 percent, up 13 percent in the last year. In the last two years, time-shifted TV viewing per month rose 31 percent.
