Re: New Channel Realignment?
said by MeatChicken  :Post when you see they are completely "gone" ... I would think I'm on the same office feed .. but I don't want to Re-KaJigger my coax/box/cable wiring in order to see for myself ...  The analogs are now gone.
I a did a scan with my tuner card and all the channels perviously analog and the ones not used for analog or digital from Ch2 to 41 and 43-49 are now digital 256 QAM.
The new digital channels are showing no sub channels yet.
I'm also finding more channels from 50-135 have been turned on as 256 QAM.
The number of total scanned channels went from 452 to 487. |

said by matcarl :They are subscription packs per season, correct. My last provider had it under PPV. You have to "pay" every year to "view" it. It is considered PPV rather than a monthly sports pack. Ok, our understanding is the same, then. I've just never seen them listed under PPV before. I guess to me PPV is just that pay per view - watch the event while it's on, and that's it. |

said by matcarl :MLB EI & NHL CE are PPV packages. They do belong there. Huh? They're sports subscription packs, which means they're like a premium channel. I've never heard of a provider charging you per view for one of those packages. Granted, they charge you per season... but not per view. |

But Setanta looks like PPV - that is just not right. I saw that too, but I think it's a mistake - or a bad grouping. Note that MLB EI and NHL CI are also listed under PPV, and I can't imagine they'll be PPV. Looks like a bad grouping to me. MLB EI & NHL CE are PPV packages. They do belong there. |

said by icemannyr1 :Is Comcast still keeping CSN HD off FIOS in the Philly area? Considering most of the programming on MSG and MSG+ outside of live sporting events is not HD you have to wonder why they are holding off in getting extra money from FIOS for MSG HD and MSG+ HD. We've always had CSN Philly, both SD and HD. They're not keeping it off of FiOS. |

I hope the Devils have a really great deal with the Dolans, because even though I am a fan, I just can't watch them in SD anymore. I'm not going back to either Comcast or Direct Tv, so Vanderbeek has to put pressure or risk losing fans!
Probably a topic for a different thread though....
That goes for you too Rutgers! Stop making deals with Cablevision / MSG..... |

However, a notice was posted to the STB back on May 21 that Fios was going 100% digital in July. Check the Message Center on your STB/DVR. Also, people in MD have reported getting notices, so I figured they missed me in the mailing list. I'm in Centreville and I didn't get the letter either. I know others in Fairfax County have already gotten the letter. So I called up go digital number anyway and they didn't have a problem sending out those boxes. I ordered last Friday and received them yesterday (Monday) morning. |

Local Plus stations are now at 460. Everyone will have to reconfigure their Favorites and get used to all new channel slots. |
