Re: [Channels] Re: Channel changes 8/1

Web-
Yeah, they say the same here in DE. I think it's just an oversight in the temporary naming.

VC304 would simply refer to "Virtual Channel 304" - which doesn't exist.

Once they remove the temporary "move" messages, these will fade off into the night.

So who's left?

By my count we still have VHO's 4, 5, and 9 (at a minimum).

JeepMatt,

I can see that MASN2 HD can be an oversight, since your VHO, and Mine say the same thing. Plus we do not receive that channel.

However, I really do hope that channel 667 "VC304" becomes DiY HD. It would be the + 500 rule, and it is a great channel. I believe they launched the HD channel back in 2010. Or around then.

Yes, the move happened here in VHO5, but in the process now I don't get Universal Sports anymore. It was supposed to be removed from the Extreme package on September 15. Someone messed up and took it out a month early.

I have the old prime package and just started getting Universal Sports Yesterday. Wonder if that is a screw up as well.

The channel changes just happened on VHO7.

Looks like they still have not moved WLIW from 470 to 521 though.....

Edit: Seems this move is not due till Sept...

WLIW is scheduled for September - for some reason they decided to handle that separately.

SECN HD will likely be added this week. Then I'm going to guess that 3-4 HD's will be added before the end of 2014. GUESSING >>> DIYHD, H2HD, some dumb Byron Allen Crud HD, OVA HD (I always hope), FS2HD (which seems rather lame at the moment, TCM HD ......

Universal Sports was never part of Extreme. It has always been Ultimate only since it was first added last October, although there was a free preview of it until January 31. The one being removed from Extreme is Universal HD, channel 567.

FS2HD (which seems rather lame at the moment)

Right up until next Tuesday when the UEFA Champions League starts, at which point it becomes a must-have for soccer fans.

They must have had a free preview over the weekend as I was able to watch Universal Sports with my ExtremeHD for a few days.

Any Word from VHO 4/9?

Curious if anyone in VHO's 4, 9, or 9a can confirm this made it there?

If so, I believe that should wrap up the 8/1 moves.

Re: [Channels] Channel changes 8/1

I see we are losing CLOO which is part of NBC. For a second there I was wondering why it was being dropped and I remembered I didn't have Xfinity anymore. Yikes.

Sorry to see this channel go. I love crime shows.

It's not much of a loss. Cloo just repeats all the same shows like SVU and Monk that you can find on 7 other networks.

I still see 186 here in VHO4 but I see the other channels seem to be at their new locations. But was CLOO one of the stations that was supposed to be moving?

Boy what a pain trying to mess around with channel numbers. More reason for me to deal with them as little as possible.

Cloo is supposed to be removed "On or after August 15th". So my guess would be sometime next week.

Is there a reason why Cloo is being removed? My wife does like that channel.

Money. It's all about the bottom line. If Verizon feels there is low viewership for a particular channel (Byron Allen's .TV channels not included) and it is relatively expensive to carry, the channel will be on the chopping block.

Betamax76....Thank you!
I know that it was written that it repeats many shows, but the wife is very unhappy about it being removed.
I wonder how many people watch the.TV channels? Those are the ones that should be on the chopping block.

Sometimes they stay two weeks, sometimes two months, not a definite answer.

'Tis gone as of Monday (8/18) in Reston, VA and actually, I'll miss it as I liked the reruns of Law & Order: Criminal Intent but fortunately, that can be found on a couple of other channels...

These channels that do nothing but repeat the same shows all day should all go.

Don't the premium channels do that?

There is a niche out there; me included that can down and watch certain shows over and over again. Like Law & Order and Gunsmoke; when they have their marathons, I'm all in.

They sure do. They should get rid of all those secondary channels and put those movies on demand.
