[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?

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.

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

My guess is it pops up into the guide tomorrow.

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?

Sounds like here when CBS HD was added to the lineup on TWC. It was available the day before as long as you manually punched in the channel. Then the next day it was in the guide.

Thanks BHNtech

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

I just received my 2nd notification on TiVo about 1225 being added. I'm unable to tune the new channel with the Tuning Adapter.

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

Same here. It was added to the lineup but no signal on that channel.

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

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.

You know what your parents used to say Every time you ask I'll add an hour to your waiting

All kidding aside I will let you guys know when the status changes... it's on my high priority list because I know how much HDOrlando wants this.
