Re: ClearQAM Channel Listing for TW Dallas said by Unbundled:I picked up the Digital Adapter and it does give all of the Basic and Standard channels, and the Local HD channels, and some of the secondary local digital channels (ie 5.2, 8.2, 8.3, 13.2, Antenna TV, and Me TV).
But, I was surprised that the Digital Adapter does not give you Daystar CH 350. So I'll still use a raw cable connection to the TV, for Daystar (CH 102-10).
Also, whereas OTA digital channels broadcast show title and program information, the Digital Adapter, does not give (or have a way to give) that information for the Local HD Channels, or any other channels.
There is a Guide button on the remote, but that function is not yet available.
how do you like the size of the Digital adapter? They are way smaller than the motorola boxes  |

| finally got the digital adapter letter today seems it came from Lincoln Nebraska which is where I am guessing the planning for the digital changes are being planned for all of the Texas and Midwest areas.
"Starting on or about March 5, 2013 C-SPAN, EWTN, G4, and WGN will be delivered in a digital format only" "This will not affect any TVs that you currently have connected to a digital set-top box. The next few lines have info about how to order the adapters and the adapters being free until November 30th 2013 and then they become 99 cents a month.
"Note these channel will remain in their existing packages, and will continue to be viewable with a digital set-top box, digital adapter, or Cable card" "In addition C-SPAN, EWTN, and WGN will continue to be viewable on digital TV's (and other devices) that include a QAM tuner." |

I do like the size of the Digital Adapter. It's the size of my ROKU 2 XS Box.
(My first Digital Adapter failed after being on about 10 minutes. The one I have had now for several days, is continuing to work okay. I doubt if it really had anything to do with it, but after I pressed the Guide button, is when the first adapter failed. I could not get the remote to link with the box, after it had already been succesfully linked. So maybe it was the remote. Anyway, all is well now.)
My bill which cycled on Feb. 14th (Happy Valentine's Day!) and shows a listing for "Digital Adapter 0.00" and for the "Dta Remote 0.00".
I got the letter also. So, beginning Dec. 1, 2013, each adapter will cost .99/month. --- They better not start raising that a $1 every year! ---- Or come up with a charge for the remote !!!
I also noticed that with the TW Standard Cable Pkg price increase from last month to this by 5.51, from 61.99 to 67.50, that the Credit increased 5.51, to equal the $29.99 promotional rate.
quote:
Beginning with your next bill, there will be a change in
the cost of some Time Warner Cable monthly services.
Basic Service increase from $24.99 to $28.00, Standard
Cable from $61.99 to $67.50, DVR Service from $10.99 to
$12.99 and Sports Pass from $6.99 to $8.99.
In addition, all Basic and Standard Packages will
increase by $5.00 and all digital video packages will
increase by $3.00. If you are currently receiving a
promotional rate,your rate may not be affected at this
time.

Irving, TX | I noticed that I could not get the Oxygen channel 73 tonight. Not that I would be watching it, but, as I was scanning channels with the DTA, and got to ch 73, I got that msg. to check my connections, etc.
When I go ch 73 now, the DTA box light just flashes green...
Ready to re-scan when I have to.

1 edit | Re: DTA sound not coming in Perhaps it has something to do with maintenance, or not, but, with the DTA, connected to my TV with an HDMI cable, sometimes, I do not get sound (when there's sound on the TV from other inputs). The solution, is to cycle through the TV inputs, back to the HDMI input for the DTA, and that usually gets the sound back on the DTA.
I have the DTA remote configured to use the TV sound, with the DTA sound set at Max. There was no "Stereo" "sweet spot", like with the old cable box volume settings.
And bty, ch 73 was not coming in through the ClearQAM either, when I was checking that last night.
Tuesday night.... and ch 73 is back on the TV.

| Greenville/Commerce Texas now has TWC Sports Channel SD (153) and TWC Sports Channel HD (790) now that system now has 103 HD channels
seems that the reason why we got TWC Sports Channel HD and Greenville got both versions of TWC Sports Channel is that TWC is now going to have the rights to the FC Dallas games in the State of Texas so the games they obtained the rights for were the Fox Sports South West games all other games will be on the regular channels (TXA21, ESPN, etc) |

Re: [TWC] Dallas/Ft Worth Metro Vol II -- Time Warner ok... in the metro:
TWC Sports Channel (Texas stuff) is 185-SD and 148-HD.
TWC SportsNet (LA/Cali stuff) is 146-SD and 147-HD.
It looks like 148 is not part of El Paquetazo or Sports Pack. No FC Dallas in HD for me   |

| as of 3/5/13:
these analogs have been removed:
CSPAN
EWTN
WGN America
G4
these now have a QAM carrier on each frequency:
2 (57MHz)
18 (147MHz)
25 (231MHz)
67 analog is the channel that has the info slide for the adapter notification.
Discovery Channel HD is in the clear on 2-1.
Discovery Channel HD is also now on the digital adapters
Also HBO is showing up on the adapters at channel 501 but I think that might be a accidental add to the DTA lineup or could be for the free preview at the end of the month and anyone with a clear QAM device needs to rescan for KTVT HD, KTXA HD, KERA HD, KERA World, WFAA HD, WFAA2, WFAA3 as they have moved to 18 (147MHz (KTVT HD and KTXA HD)) 25 (231MHz (KERA HD, KERA World, WFAA HD, WFAA2, WFAA3)) . |

you need a digital adapter as of today to get G4 you need to go pick one up at a payment center which are free until December and then they are .99 cents a month. The adapters get all of the channels from 2-99 which includes all of the channels that have moved to digital over that last few years and also gets all of the local HD channels and digital subchannels of the locals along with Discovery Channel HD |

On my DVR (DCH6416), I get the message "this channel should be available shortly", for any channel greater than 29. I powered off box and called support to send signal but no luck. I have 2 other boxes that work fine. Tech cannot come out until sat., should I just exchange box atlocal office? |

Unplug the stb and leave unplugged for about 3 to 5 minutes, Plug back in and channels may appear in 5 minutes or so. |

no it is not purchasable and they are only .99 cents after december 1st which it would take about at least 20-30 plus months for you to even come close to breaking even on the purchase of one anyways but these are basically very small cable boxes that are one way devices and include a coax connection and a HDMI output with a HDMI cable in the install kit it is worth it. These adapters can get the limited basic tier HD channels on them without having to pay the $10 for the full HD box. |
