Re: Verizon Channels are Here in Fort Wayne!
I'm curious if RFD-TV was really added or not. The press release says it was, but the channel lineup PDF does not. Can anyone confirm its addition? |

| RFD T is on ch. 247 here in Fort Wayne. Right now there is something on about understanding the behaviour of, and communicating with, horses.
Anyway, I have been unable to find an accurate channel list to print out. Since I have Verizon FIOS Internet with MSN Premium, I can access MSN TV easily, and it seems to have the correct listings for Fort Wayne. But, no printable channel guide that lists all the channels from 2-1951, with a description of what type of programming each channel offers. The list we got in the mail is incorrect, as is the pdfs on the FIOS website. Mark F. |

Mark:
Check www.zap2it.com for channel listings. This is what Tivo uses for their lineup's. It is usually very accurate. |

I don't mean the listings, such as what it on right now. I mean a list of channels in their proper location. The lists that were sent us in the mail, and the pdfs on the FIOS site, are error-ridden.
I just want a fairly accurate, and readable channel list. If that's not possible, then others will be in the same boat when their area gets the new channels. Mark F |

I have every station typed in Excel and make my own updates. I know pathetic, but I have the most up to date list  |

| On the FIOS website, I entered our zip code and up came our local channel list for Fort Wayne. Some of the channels (HBO, Cinemax, and others) are listed more than once, but it is more accurate than the pdf linked at the bottom of the page. Even if the printout is 18 pages long. Good thing the Photosmart 8250 is a fast printer.
Then, I'll just use that long list for reference when I print out lists with only the channels we want. I have programs like Works, Word Perfect and Office, and one of those should handle that well. Mark F. |

When the heck are they going to remove the channels that say "this channel has been relocated" Its made my tv viewing painful the last few days along with the fact that the HD channels are skipping now I am becoming rather dissatisfied with the service. I am thankful for the new channels but I don't think I've been able to watch a show on the History channel once all the way through with out the picture and sound messing up. |

| I forgot how long they left the vacant channels like that during the last major realignment, it might have been about 2 weeks. It was annoying. You can let all us know when they take them away. As far as the bad reception, you better call it in before it spreads to the rest of us. I hope that doesn't mean a delay like last year's IMG upgrade  |

| No annoyance here, what I've seen is great. In fact, this Friday at 10, on the SCI FI Channel HD (ch. 680) is the season premier of Stargate: Atlantis.
I know it's very difficult to surf the guide without encountering them, but, for now, I look at all the blank channels with the "channel relocated" message as a reminder of the space they have for new channels.
As for bad reception, catching or not , I can't help. But, some of the bugs out there may be fixed by the IMG upgrades rumored for the coming months. The favorites issue will hopefully be addressed soon, as well. Mark F |
