WGN America SD was made available to all subscription levels (even Locals Only) and thus was left unencrypted for clear QAM. But WGN America HD has always been Extreme and Ultimate Packages only and has always been encrypted.

When the change of packages occurs for WGN SD, it probably would make sense to modify the channel number to match that of the HD version (i.e., if WGN HD is on Ch. 568, WGN SD should be on Ch. 68).

Just started coming in. So it is here now. This is the first and last time I watch this channel.

How about us getting EWTN HD. Had it with Comcast. Perfect time for advent.

Full guide data now available in VHO8. Had to advance the guide a couple of weeks to get the data to fill in.

Ok-
Between the bit I watched last night and today - everything but the commercials has been letter-boxed BS.

You're going to need a new scale when Ride TV launches. Where's PETA when you need them?

Re: [Channels] November and December Channel Changes?

GSN HD live in VHO 15. Only wish to see the following added soon in HD: TCM, UP, Inspiration, Esquire, HLN, Encore Suite, AHC (formerly Military Channel), BBC World News, RetroPlex, IndiPlex.

Locally in VHO 15, I would like to see CBC-HD, CFTO-HD, ION-HD added to the lineup.

That's what I thought at first too, but I watched an episode of Family Feud last night at 9pm and it was actually full 16:9 HD. There was also a quiz show with "The Beast" that was in 16:9 HD too.

Re: [Channels] November and December Channel Changes?

Honestly TCM in HD is long due...I heard they finally decided to show movies in true hd (hopefully both the 4:3 and widescreen content). Sundance should have an hd channel as well, hate watching shows in letterbox.

The Beast is the only thing I have ever watched on GSN. Hated it in SD. May try it again in HD.

Ride TV, could be confused with a show on Cinemax After Dark. Or the likes of an actually channel like PlayboyTV, or PPV listing. Before looking it up, that is.

And that's all I will say about that.

Those would be far better uses of HD channel capacity.

You are right, it's moving to ch 68 on December 8. There's a message about it today on the STB

Which leaves in VHO5, at least, an opening in the single digit channel numbers. Channel 8 has been WGN, with 508 never used. I'm sure that there must be some cities around the country with a channel 8 network affiliate or independent. But in this area, it would be a giant channel hole.

With the channel 3/503 debacle tabled for now, what could opening 8/508 have in store?

Nothing is in store Charlie. They moved WGN to match the HD which was on 568. We aren't getting anything at ch 8

The closest channel 8 to the NYC area is WTNH in New Haven. I believe WTNH is carried on the Fios system in Greenwich, CT so maybe they will put that on 8/508 on the Greenwich system.

I don't know what we're going to do with losing a religious channel. It's not like there's about 10 more or anything.

Its a religious music channel targeted to 18-30.
Looks like AT&T is the only national carrier that has them after 12/31.
