Re: Lost channels without box in CNY

I see that now. I don't think the sheet of paper mailed to my house said that. Neither the tech on the phone to activate the device nor the one at the house mentioned it (other than as an idea while leaving).

Is there a way to figure out which channels are already digital only and which are switching on Dec 19th for my location?

these are moving to digital on the 18th:
Ion
CNBC
CSPAN
WGN America
Weather Channel
Golf Channel
LMN

the channels that say digital settop box required below 100 need a box.

by 'box' do you mean stb, digital adapter, or just at least one of them?

Interestingly enough: When the cable is plugged from wall to TV, the channels changes are in effect (ie, can't see Weather Channel anymore, and VH1 is on a different number - ch50).

With the DA plugged in, I have the same problem as described above (ie no CMT). BUT, the channels numbers are back to their old locations (ie VH1 still at ch71).

All but LMN is coming through now with the DA attached. The channels that say digital settop box required do NOT required a STB as I am getting them. The DA displays the channel name on the TV but a few of those aren't coming through. That's not a big deal and neither is LMN.
