I went in there, and 96 was viewable via the Motorola box through my TiVo Series 2, so I'm wondering if it's related to my 198 MLBN problem and Garland 75043 and my CableCARD (and hence my TiVoHD).

Have you tried calling TWC and telling them there is a problem with your cable card(s) and that you would like them replaced? They may not "support" them, but they should replace them if they aren't working properly.

If I remember correctly, I had a similar problem with some pay channels, etc., not showing up on my S3 while they were available on my Moto DVR. I thought maybe it was just some kind of deal where I needed to pay for an extra digital outlet or something to make it work. When the problem spread to some regular channels I scheduled a service call and they came out and worked with the CableCards and got everything working. It seems like they just had a 'hit' sent to them, but it also seems like something I couldn't have scheduled automated. They haven't missed a beat since, I'm happy to report...

It does sound like a CableCard issue. The only other thing you could try on your own, is to bring the equipment that works (Motorola box and TiVO Series 2) and connect it to the same outlet that is giving you problems. If it works, then you know that the outlet is good and is passing all frequencies with good signal levels.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21688851 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 08:21:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21688242 Joe Siegler :

Bummer. The only thing I got left is to record what you want to watch on the bedroom TiVo and transfer it to the other TiVo to watch when that's more convenient. Unfortunately, it won't let you watch live TV that way. Patience may be the only alternative you have left. I wish you luck.

Transferring from the other room is what I've been doing. So far I've done that with the Larsen perfect game, and the two nights of "Hot Stove Live".

But as my wife will tell you, patience is not one of my virtues when there's something out there I want. :)

pcbrew, I think I found what you're talking about. Found the CableCARD diagnostic screen (buried deep in the setup menus). Anyway, I ran a test on both tuners turning to valid channels, and looked. They both looked fine, then I turned one of them to channel 198, and that one has almost all blank information. Of the various options on this screen, everything has just a dash (aka blank) next to it. The only ones that do not are "CableCARD association" which says None. The Current Tuning Status is "Not Tuned: Wrong Card State", and "RC State" is available. Pending Tune Status is "No tune pending". This is the same kind of stuff I would see on that batch of HD channels that were to be added a month ago before they were actually added.

Edit: I have a question unrelated to this. Channel 96 in Garland appears to have disappeared. This is the one that showed the views of the various traffic cams from around Garland.

Yeah, it is on my Motorola, and I thought it was a TiVo issue myself, hence my calling them. We shall see what happens. I've tried all the stuff I can reset myself short of wiping the entire box out and restarting (something I think most users would be unwilling to do).

198 is not listed on TiVo's website, or on zap2it.com. Tribune Media apparently doesn't have listings for it, which could be the cause of my problem. But I did escalate it at TiVo.

I've posted at the TiVo forums too, but I thought maybe someone here had an idea - figure it couldn't hurt to ask in more than one place. :)

Update: Hmm. Read this. It appears it might be a TWC issue after all. This implies that there's a more widespread problem.

The market TWC inherited from Comcast (and the various cable providers including AT&T that Comcast inherited) puts major technological upgrades like SDV years, if not longer down the road.

Getting rid of expanded basic and all of the crap foreign language channels will be a good way to free up the space for more channels, but major upgrades beyond the recent $100 million one are not really in the works, or at least not in an actual project plan.

What we really need to hold out for is for them getting newer than the decades old Guide software they're using.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21669100 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 09:25:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21668630 Timothy28 :

I really hate cable channel packages btw.

*Which I still hate TWC's BS obvious overcharging by stiffing users who opt for basic with a handful of channels that are local or just plain suck - before Comcast offered every major network in basic for only $10/month [Spike, Comedy Central, G4, MTV, BET, Cartoon Network,Disney, Nick, FX, TNT, TBS, USA, ESPN, Texas Cable News] - minus HD/digital channels.

Am I the only one?

Reason I ask is my HDTiVo box is not getting MLBN 198, but that's probably because TiVo doesn't recognize it as an existing channel. I can't tune to a channel that doesn't exist, so I see blank on 198. My TiVo in the bedroom is an older one that uses a TWC Motorola cable box, and that does let me see 198, but that's because it's the Motorola box driving the signal, not the TiVo itself.

Curious to see if I'm the only one affected by this.

Anyone know anything about these? I seem to recall there being a supposed addtl batch of HD channels early in the new year, but I can't recall where I read that at the moment.

I also during the day signed up for the HD & Sports tiers, cost me an addtl $2 a month, so that was a good deal. :) All those channels are going - I still don't have Bio HD, but I don't have Bio SD either, so I can't address that, and have deselected it as a channel on my TiVo.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21610642 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 23:17:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21609907 Timothy28 : Hopefully the last 5 will be on soon.

I don't know why they didnt add the rest in. The reason why many people see the Not Authorized message for CSTV on 790 is because its only avalable for those who have the sports channels. Just now I saw these adds. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21609612 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 19:23:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21608619 anon :

751 - If you have a TiVo, this is still wrong, TiVo thinks it's regular Lifetime, so the guide info is wrong. I've submitted some requests on that to both Tivo & their data provider, Tribune, so hopefully that gets corrected soon.

761 - Science HD has no guide data at all on my TiVo, but that will probably clear up in a day. Everything is "To be announced".

TiVo gets their guide data from Tribune Media Systems, aka TMS. I filed reports on these channels yesterday with Schedules Direct who is another client of TMS. I know the guys at Schedules Direct very well and know they have direct access to TMS' problem tracking system. It usually takes TMS about a week or two to get these types of things straightened out.

BTW, I've also reported the problem where TMS lists FSSHD as having programming on all the time instead of only when HD programming is available. That problem is proving harder to resolve.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21608619 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:13:23 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21606561 chamberc : I've been with Comcast (now TWC) since May 2005 (DirectTV customer exclusively before that) and I can't really recall these preview weekends. They may occur, but they're not well publicized. It seems like Comcast used to send messages to the box telling of new channels and perhaps one of these preview weekends. I can't recall TWC doing this since they came in.

DirecTV used to for time to time offer free previews of HBO's and other programming tiers that you didn't have - like for the weekend, or for a week sometimes.

Does TWC do stuff like that? If so, I haven't seen it since I joined up a couple of months back.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21605821 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 03:17:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21605804 Timothy28 : Someone obviously goofed.

790 is sports tier only but it doesn't even tune and say not authorized. So its not on at all yet.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21605776 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 02:39:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21605769 Joe Siegler :

I can now confirm here in Lewisville these channels are now live.

738 - Weather Channel
741 - Fox News
751 - Lifetime Movie Network
758 - Learning Channel
759 - Travel
760 - Planet Green (Do not have it)
761 - Science

778 - ABC Family (do not have it)
783 - ESPNNews
784 - ESPNU (do not have it)
788 - Speed
790 - CBS College (do not have it)

As of now, in Garland 75043, I can say I match this list. However..

738 - The Weather Channel doesn't appear to actually be the Weather Channel. It's showing an infomercial for the 50 state coin program. That does not match the programming that is on the SD version of the Weather Channel on 234. It is however, showing the same informercials that are on 768 FX at the same time. Anyone else seeing this?

751 - If you have a TiVo, this is still wrong, TiVo thinks it's regular Lifetime, so the guide info is wrong. I've submitted some requests on that to both Tivo & their data provider, Tribune, so hopefully that gets corrected soon.

761 - Science HD has no guide data at all on my TiVo, but that will probably clear up in a day. Everything is "To be announced".

764 - Bio HD.. I don't have the SD version of that either, I think it's on a different programming tier than I have. I may not see this one at all.

790 - Is that on a special Sports tier? When I was on DirecTV, I couldn't get channels like that unless I was on a special tier.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21605769 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 02:33:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21605737 Timothy28 : Yep just a few left to go.
