Here the qam numbers go in order, like 83-1, 83-2, 83-3, and music choice is in the 20's like 94-21, 94-22, 94-23, etc. So we have about 10 SD's and 8 MC's per QAM until the Music Choice numbers are exhausted, and we have some 1 HD + 6 SD's, and a few 2 HD's per qam, and a few 3 HD's per qam.

Your area is doing what Service Electric Cable does and assigning 4 digit numbers. They have stuff like 95-3102, 95-3103, etc..

Some area's are real organized, others it's like they use a random number generator and think of numbers out of a hat or something.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20741426 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:25:27 EDT Re: QAM channels showing up clear but not on lineup http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20741175 Apollo729 :

QAM tuners dont get channel 1 2 3 4 5 6, they get QAM-1, QAM-104, QAM-1020, QAM-2204... so you tune to a NTSC Channel say 117... 117 says I have 3 services available... and they are QAM-2020, QAM-2021, QAM-2022... then you tune to those services... now comcast and other providers can also provide a PSID which will say hey channel 117-QAM2020 is actually channel 11.1 AND Channel 117-QAM2021 is actually 11.2... you might want to look into how Digital cable and QAM's work ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20740892 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:20:17 EDT Re: QAM channels showing up clear but not on lineup http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20740478 schja01 : Those channel numbers look strange.

WGN-HD are channels that aren't on any Comcast system.
WRONG - we got WGN-HD on most, if not ALL the Comcast systems they took over from Insight at the first of the year, when they added about 20 new HD's a couple months ago...& I assure you it had NOTHING to do with Insight, since Insight had stopped any more HD additions for us several months before THAT!

Of course, this IS Cubs country around here, so it's not that much of a surprise - they also added CSN HD-Chicago at the same time, but also DROPPED FSN HD-Midwest, which of course pissed off some Cards HD viewers. :huh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20735105 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:48:47 EDT Re: QAM channels showing up clear but not on lineup http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20734702 neufuse : The name is typed by me, I must of screwed up and named the channel wrong... was naming them as I found them... whoopsie

Interesting enough the SID from Hits is "23" for ABC Family and "24" for Science HD.

I just checked my ABC Family, Science HD, Disney HD mux and it's encrypted as always.
