Re: My transition from Comcast Analog to Digital Cable

Got a call from comcast... Asking me if all was still good.
Checked, it seems so, but I had some questions regarding my service and TV Guide.
In my surfing, it's not exactly clear what channels I do and don't get. Where is the listing of channels per my service? So I can see what I do, and don't get?
Lady on phone doesn't know.
On my LG DVR, I can change the TV Guide around such that it displays only what channels I want it do, and I've got it configured for my favorites at the top, and suff I don't care about at the bottom... This prevents confusion on program selection... Want to do the same on the TV Guide on the comcast box... To move channels that I don't get to bottom, to avoid confusion... How do I do that?
Lady on phone doesn't know.... But says she'll send a service guy.... OK.

Service guy gets here, and we check system.. Seems ok, So I ask him where there is a list of what channels I get, and don't get.
There really isn't a list for you, you just see what works and doesn't work!
I show him the photostat I was given last Wednesday, and compare it against his. My Photostat is dated 6/1/05...
Copies he has are dated 12/21/03. So much for updated information....

He plays kitten on the keys, looking for channels soas to make a 'map' for me, and while he does that I went into the TV Guide question.

I'm trying to setup TV Guide like my LG DVR so that I won't in-advertantly select channels that aren't turned on...... "No way to do that"

I'm on a roll now.... "I've got some more questions, but each involve manuals regarding the unit I was given... I'll bet that if I had manuals on this gear, I wouldn't be bothering Phone support or you....

"I don't have any more manuals than you do..."
(He did eventually find a simple DCR4200 manual in his truck, along with other handouts).

I guess "Ignorance is Bliss" when it comes to comcast......

There is NO way to order channels in the Comcast lineup.
I suppose you COULD define all the channels you want as FAVORITES. You can display all/only the favorites from the main menu bar. I do not know if there is a limit to how many favorites you can define. I only have a handfull.
I was out of town and the B&B we stayed at had Dish-TV and the channel guide and remote blows chunks compared to Comcast.
No way I would drop Comcast for Dish-TV.
The ugly ass dish antenna doesn't do anything for the 1890 Victorian Mansion it was hung off either.
