Re: [HD] hd updates for the Reading, Pa area
Now if we can only get TCN to show accurate guide information, we'd be all set! |

1 edit | My Passport guide has all of the info, actually - but - why is the game that is on right now in SD on the HD channel? I thought that was the purpose of CSN-HD?
BTW, I'm not in Reading, I'm in Williamsport. |

Reading, PA | My TCN has NEVER had the correct guide info! This afternoon, it said "Boxing" and it was an infomercial. |

Well, it looks like the TCN finally has the right guide information, at least on the SD channel. The HD channel still says "Off Air". However, I did notice that the SC-Ark game that is being shown on TCN is, in fact, in HD on TCN-HD. Very cool! I hope they do this with a lot of the other sports they show on there besides Flyers and Sixers. |

| I'm up in N.E. PA on Blue Ridge Cable for the weekend. Holy crap 60 HD Channels, it's freaking amazing... not 100 but it's STILL amazing. If they'd only add 20 more HD channels in Reading it would be a HUGE improvement!
Passport guide is much nicer too, and their video mozaic channels (News & Kids) operate MUCH nicer and smoother than Comcast Central ever did. These little SA boxes change channels SO FAST compared to the Motorola's we have in Reading. |

My TiVo just popped up with a message re: a lineup change:
272 ESPNU
277 Tennis
284 HRTV (Horse Racing)
285 TVG (More horse racing)
Nothing HD
I can't actually see any of the channels which I assume is because I don't subscribe the sports pack? Is there some huge demand for standard def horse racing of which I am unaware? |

Yeah its kinda hit or miss. It learns of the big additions quickly, but the little, worthless adds like this one take sometime. Still beats the hell out any DVR comcast has every produced. |

1 edit | Do you know if your TiVo lineup is up to date? Did it pick up last Thursdays changes (TCN and QVC swapping chanels and TCN HD back on 201)and that Animal Planet HD and History HD are on 868 and 875? |

It got TCN on 201. I tell it I don't get QVC (and Fox News). It knows about APL and History HD but the guide all says to be announced, which is annoying. When MLDHD was added it took months to get an actual programing list for that channel. |

| Well, that is a surprise, we do not have the Animal Planet and History HD yet, but we should of had it 4 months ago, but Comcast gave it to Lancaster Instead, and Reading/Hamburg got it last month, and Lebanon will get it when it gets finish Migration in February 2010, but even in Pottsville we got the Fx HD (193), Fox News HD (196) and Speed HD (197)Mux, even in a Migration Area Fx HD is 824, Fox News HD is 820 and Speed HD is 857 so it you do not have, there just not putting the signal out past the Head-end, so Comcast is screwing with you!!!, of Course Comcast is doing the same thing in our areas too, but just with other channel combinations!!! |

Any chance we get ESPNUHD or BigTen HD anytime soon? I hate watching CFB and CBB games in crappy SD |

Ad in the Reading Eagle today.It's not clear from the ad if the HD's are moving to the 800's or if they are just moving the On Demand channels to make room for them.From this it doesn't look good for any new HD's this year unless they are stealth additions.Isn't there capacity for at least 6 new HD channels and what ever happened to the DOCSIS 3.0 rollout? |

I am going to have to check the Williamsport paper today for a similar ad...
I know that up here, we just got DOCSIS 3.0 about 3 weeks ago - where are they in Reading? |

There's room for 9 HD adds. 3HD's x 3 QAMs.
However I believe they are going to use the room for DOCSIS 3.0 first.
Channels open: 7, 17, 26.
Channel 97 will never be used because the Motorola OOB frequency interfears with this space. |

It says updating channel lineup to include ALL your HD CHANNELS in a single area (801-899). Sounds pretty clear-- your HD channels will be in the 800s per what the rest of the country is getting on or about Dec. 17. |
