                          TO SCHEDULE 13D FILED BY THE
                            DOLAN FAMILY FOUNDATION

         This Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, dated March 16, 1988, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated May 7, 1990 (as so amended, the

not-for-profit corporation (the "Foundation"), is being filed in connection
with changes in the Foundation's beneficial ownership of the stock of
Cablevision Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
resulting from certain dispositions by gift by the Foundation of shares of
Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Class A
Common Stock").

         In addition, in accordance with Rule 101(a)(2)(ii) of Securities and
Exchange Commission Regulation S-T, this Amendment No. 2 restates the Schedule
13D.

Item 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         The title of the class of equity securities to which this statement

state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

         (f) The Foundation is a New York not-for-profit corporation. All of its
Directors and Members are United States citizens.

Item 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR
         OTHER CONSIDERATION.         

         The Class A Common Stock held by the Foundation was not acquired by
purchase.  On December 26, 1986, Charles F. Dolan entered into an irrevocable
trust agreement (the "Trust Agreement") among himself as settlor and himself
and Helen A. Dolan, his wife ("Mrs. Dolan"), as trustees, creating a charitable
trust (the "Trust"), which was the predecessor of the Foundation.  In
accordance with the Trust Agreement, on December 31, 1986, Mr. Dolan
contributed to the Trust 780,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, having a fair
market value at that date of $13,573,219.  A copy of the Trust Agreement is
attached as Exhibit I to the Foundation's original Schedule 13D, dated March
16, 1988 and is incorporated herein by reference.

         On January 16, 1987, Mr. Dolan formed the Foundation as a New York
not-for-profit corporation in order to administer and control the affairs and
property and to carry out the uses, objects and purposes of the Trust.

         On November 30, 1987, all of the assets, trust estate activities and
commitments of the Trust were transferred to the Foundation.  Effective that
date, the trustees terminated the Trust and ceased its separate legal
existence.  All former activities of the Trust were thereupon carried on by the
Foundation.

Item 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The purpose of the transactions set forth in Item 3 was to provide the
endowment through which the Foundation could carry out its charitable
activities.

         Though the Foundation's primary intention is to maintain an endowment
fund and distribute income generated by the endowment fund to support its
activities, in the event such fund does not generate income sufficient to meet
planned distributions and grants, then the Foundation either uses current year
contributions or liquidates portions of such fund to meet these commitments.

         In addition, subject to certain adjustments, each year the Foundation
is required to make qualifying distributions -- generally, distributions to
publicly supported charitable organizations -- in an amount equal to at least
five percent of the aggregate fair market value of the Foundation's assets.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Foundation is required to make such
distributions within one year after the close of each of its taxable years.

         Except as set forth above, the Foundation has no plans or proposals 
which relate to or would result in:

         (a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the
Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company;

         (b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

         (c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries;

         (d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of the 
Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number of term of 
directors or to fill any vacancies on the board;

         (e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the Company;

         (f) Any other material change in the Company's business or corporate
structure including but not limited to, if the Company is a registered
closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its

investment policy for which a vote is required by section 13 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940;

         (g) Changes in the Company's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the Company by any person;

         (h) Causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

         (i) A class of securities of the Company becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

         (j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         The Foundation (i) owns directly and has the sole power to vote or to
direct the vote of and to dispose of or to direct the disposition of 271,150
shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) for purposes of Schedule 13D, is deemed
to own beneficially 271,150 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing, as of
November 2, 1995, approximately 2.2% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common
Stock.

         During the past 60 days, the Foundation gifted shares of Class A
Common Stock to certain organizations in the following amounts:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                      Month                               Shares
                      -----                               ------
                 <S>                                       <C>
                 October 19, 1995                          900
                 October 23, 1995                          450
</TABLE>

Each of the foregoing gifts by the Foundation was in an amount of shares
constituting less than one percent of the outstanding shares of Class A Common
Stock.

         The Foundation has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five
percent of Class A Common Stock.

Item 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR 
         RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES 
         OF THE ISSUER.

         Article TENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Foundation
requires that, in any taxable year in which the Foundation is a private
foundation as described in Section 509(a) of the Code, the Foundation shall
distribute its income for said period at such time and manner as not to subject
it to tax under Section 4942 of the Code; and the Foundation shall not (i)
engage in any act of self-dealing as defined in Section 49419(d) of the Code;
(ii) retain any excess business holdings as defined in Section 4943(c) of the
Code; (iii) make any investments in such manner as to subject the Foundation to
tax under Section 4944 of the Code; or (iv) make any taxable expenditures as
defined in Section 4945(d) of the Code.

         Additionally, under Article III, Section 1 of the Foundation's
By-Laws, members of the Foundation (the "Members") consist of Mr. and Mrs.
Dolan and those persons who are, from time to time, elected to be Members of
the Foundation by majority vote of the Members.  Under Article IV, Section 2 of
the Foundation's By-Laws, the Members elect the Directors of the Foundation,
giving the Members ultimate control over the Foundation and its assets.

         A copy of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the
Corporation are attached to the Foundation's original Schedule 13D filed on
March 16, 1988, as Exhibits 2 and 3 thereto, respectively, and are incorporated
by reference herein.

         Mr. Dolan, a Member, controls or shares control of the vote of an
additional 13,500 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,346,281 shares of Class
B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Class B Common
Stock", and together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Common Stock"), which
is convertible into Class A Common Stock on a share-for-share basis.  Mrs.
Dolan, the other Member, shares control of the vote of an additional 5,000
shares of Class A Common Stock and, as co-trustee of the Charles F. Dolan 1994
Grantor Retained Annuity Trust, a trust established by Mr. Dolan for estate
planning purposes on December 31, 1994, of an additional 4,000,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock.

         In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Charles F. Dolan Charitable
Remainder Trust, a trust established by
