Interactive Optimum, better known as iO Digital Cable or simply iO, is a digital cable service offered by Cablevision, available in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and parts of Pennsylvania. It includes 130 HDTV channels, interactive channels, such as games, and channels that allow viewers to browse listings of autos and homes for sale in the area, and video on demand. HD channels are free with iO to customers who subscribe to the service package that includes the SD channel. Additionally, iO comes with 46 channels of Music Choice music channels. iO also offers a DVR and an HD-DVR, for an additional cost. It was the first American company to offer BBC World News (formerly BBC World). For years, Cablevision was one of the few providers not carrying BBC America until they finally added the channel on August 25, 2011.

Criticisms
- Many have criticized the advertising of a "digital cable service" where many of the most popular channels are broadcast in an analog format.
- High compression on digital (including HD) channels has been criticized as excessive, causing the picture to appear pixelized due to low bandwidth. While other cable providers usually multiplex 2 HD streams per 6Mhz QAM carrier, Cablevision multiplexes 3, 4 or 5 HD streams for some of its channels.
- There is a high rate of instability of the Scientific Atlanta cable boxes.
- Cablevision has also been criticized in the past for not having as many channels as other providers, such as Verizon FiOS, DirecTV, Dish Network, and Time Warner Cable, who carry the NFL Network, BBC America, and ESPN 3. BBC America was finally added on August 25, 2011.[7]
