[Channels] Comedy Central Qam

My Comedy Central HD channel has suddenly disappeared. I can't tune it. Switched out both of my splitters, then eliminated then, still no joy. Does anyone know what other channels are on the same qam so that I can check and see if they are missing as well?

Comedy Central HD Ch 690 on 423 MHZ
Nick HD Ch 752 also on 423 MHZ

Not sure if there is a third on 423 MHZ

I am in VHO8, Philadelphia

Thanks. It looks like I am missing Nick HD as well. I am also missing the logo in the guide for 570 ESPNHD and 574 ESPN2HD. And the guide logo for the NBA League Pass channels. Very weird. I guess I have hours on the phone with Fios to look forward to.

rustycruiser, sometimes rebooting the VMS may bring back the guide channel logos because it reloads the whole guide again on reboot. But, can't be 100% sure on that will work because you also have missing channels that you can't tune.

Good luck,

Rebooted the STB, router, and ONT. No change.

I have been without ESPN and ESPN 2 logos for 2 weeks now. Rebooting the router, STBs do not help.

Maybe it is another BUG. IDK. The no icons seem to change from channel to channel every so often.

But ESPN and ESPN 2 have stayed icon free for a long time. That is not normal.

In some VHOs, Comedy Central HD and Nick HD are on 855 MHz. This has proven to be a problematic frequency for some ONTs. It is likely your ONT will need replaced.

I am in VHO4 in Anne Arundel county, if that helps narrow the qam in question.

For your VHO, Comedy Central HD and Nick HD are definitely on 855 MHz. You can also try to tune Ch. 554 Spike HD and Ch. 717 VH1 HD which are on 861 MHz. These four channels represent the highest frequencies sent via QAM and therefore pose the greatest problems to aging ONTs.

No issues with Spike HD and VH1 HD. Nick and Comedy HD are the only ones missing. I will call Fios tomorrow. Thanks all for your help
