 | [TV] What happened to The Weather Channel HD? BHN sent lineup changes to CableCARDs on 1/24 to prepare for the rolllout of the new HD channels; including The Weather Channel HD on 1225. On 1/25 all the new channels went live except 1225.
Well, they pulled it from the CableCARD lineup today. Any idea what happened? Problems setting up the "Local on 8s" equipment? |

 | reply to simba1994 Try punching in 1225.
Some boxes in Orlando can now access it by punching in 1225.
I was not able to do it this morning like others but now can do it probably because it is slowing uploading to boxes.
However, it is still not in the guide.
BTW: It came through just as Gary promised. |

 FlashfoxEco-Text -- Why print E-mails? join:2003-10-01 Melbourne, FL 2 edits | reply to BHNtechXpert Just discovered that although it's not in the guide, it is available in West Melbourne (32904) on channel 1225.
However, the image is NOT HD. Perhaps they activated the channel but the feed is definitely not in HD (like a SD feed ported over to an HD channel).
I assume that they will be taking care of this 
===UPDATE===
Although it still doesn't appear in the channel list, 1225 is now in HD  |
|
 | reply to simba1994 My guess is it pops up into the guide tomorrow. |

 FlashfoxEco-Text -- Why print E-mails? join:2003-10-01 Melbourne, FL | Bet's on LOL. Still not in the guide @ 23h30 on the 30th  |
|
 | reply to simba1994 I am surprised it is not in the guide yet. I would have though it would by now.
Gary: Can we expect it to be in the guide by this coming weekend weekend? |

TWC-HD can only be accessed if you punch in the channel number. Odd that the service is activated but the guide wasn't updated... unless they were preparing to officially launch these on February 1 |

Is the new channel live right now for non-CableCARD users? |

I'm guessing that BHN needs to do something on their end to notify our Tuning Adapter's that the new channel is available. |

 kdwycha join:2003-01-30 Riverview, FL | reply to simba1994 I have not watched the weather channel in years. Its kinda amazing the demand for weather channel HD though.
In the meantime couldnt everyone just look out the window to see what the weather is? |
|
 | It's really not that big of a deal. I don't watch it that much either, but it probably is the last of the channels I watch that I have to wander into the old analog numbers for. I didn't care with an SD TV, but since HDTV, the channel just looks bad in SD -- even with the Brighthouse digital simulcast. |
