'Start Over' feature applies only to some programming

By June Watanabe

POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Jun 15, 2012

~~<p><strong>Question: </strong>Primary in Oceanic Cable's advertising is a feature called &quot;Start Over.&quot; They would have you believe that this feature is available on all channels when in fact it is offered on very few channels and only works some of the time. Of the four major Oahu channels -- KHON, KITV, KGMB and KHNL -- it is only available on KHNL and is &quot;not available at this time, please try again&quot; about half the time. At best, isn't this a bad joke or, at worst, intentional fraud?</p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong> On its website -- <a href="http://goo.gl/ZqH3J" target="_blank">goo.gl/ZqH3J</a> -- Time Warner Cable says: &quot;There are over 20,000 hit TV shows that are Start Over enabled ... &quot;</p>
