rcbrcb Premium join:2007-02-21 Chicago, IL	Now we just need to get RCN to register these new channels with Tribune Media so HD TiVo's can be updated. Notification had not yet been provided as of 9:00am this morning! Why is this always such a battle for RCN to accomplish?????

awbishop join:2004-08-26 Chicago, IL	Re: [CATV] New HD Channels in Chicago Considering their own website isnt even accurate now, I would say give them time. It was a welcome surprise, considering they hadnt announced any new channels.

nickcatal join:2008-06-23 Chicago, IL	So wait... there is Fox Business News HD but not CNBC HD... That doesn't make much sense... must get the Business News for free (or on the cheap) when you license Fox News... I could see no other reason to have that channel and not CNBC HD

Seems to me there should be a process in place to make sure a week doesnt go by beofre this happens...Last time it took RCN 2 Weeks to file a new Lineup! Those of us with HD TiVo's would like these channels as well!

Wow, what you are writing makes me nervous. I just bought two new HD TIVOs and had the cablecards installed yesterday. I am all ready for the switchover here in New York but what you write does not give me much hope for a smooth transition.

Who did you contact at TIVO and at RCN about this?

Re: [CATV] New HD Channels in Chicago

When RCN did the Analog Crush the notification to TiVo when perfectly. After I posted yesterday, jmirabella contacted me via IM to let me know that RCN was working on it. Seems the additonal HD channels in Chicago were not due to launch until Oct.1 but the trigger got pulled early, so the notifications to Tribune Media had not been submitted yet. As the RCN guys have always been a huge help on this board, I will take it as an honest mistake that they are working to correct.

Thank you for the clarification that the analog crush transition went smoothly with the TIVO. That makes me feel much better.

I still have a Series 2 TIVO connected to my lone cable box so if channels are added I can see them with my cable box. And I am less concerned with picking up new channels quickly than I am about having the new television season recorded properly without a hiccup.

I have TivoHD and I get all the new HD channels. I got them all on the same day the DVR got them. Try changing the zip code to something else.

Suprise....Yet another day has gone by and RCN still has yet to file the new Chicago HD channels with Tribune Media. Those of us with HD TiVo's are SOL I guess....Shouldnt be that difficult, Tribune Media has even sent a request to RCN for the info and has gotten NO response....

Could one of the RCN customers who is using RCN receiver equipment pleasse post the channels with channel #'s that were added last week to the HD lineup in Chicago.

Much Thanks.......Rob

rcbrcb Premium join:2007-02-21 Chicago, IL ·DIRECTV ·RCN CABLE ·T-Mobile VoIP ·AT&T U-Verse ·T-Mobile US	The issue of the new channels not being registered with Tribune Media & TiVo have been mostly resolved. I am dealing with TiVo on how they listed Lifetime HD, as the way that have it listed, all the guide says is "To be Announced" for what progranms are on.

steinbch join:2007-01-05 Chicago, IL	Re: [CATV] New HD Channels in Chicago RCBRCB: Can you check to see if your TivoHD is showing both Palladia AND LifeHD on channel 634? This just started when we got the new HD channels.

rcbrcb Premium join:2007-02-21 Chicago, IL ·DIRECTV ·RCN CABLE ·T-Mobile VoIP ·AT&T U-Verse ·T-Mobile US	Re: [CATV] New HD Channels in Chicago LIFEHD used to be on 634, but this week it got moved to 639 and Palladia HD in now on 634. TiVo has screwed up how they list LIFEHD on 639 so it does not show any programmimg, they are working on fixing the problem. Palladia is on 634 and LIFEHD is on 639.

tivoguy @rcn.com	Re: [CATV] New HD Channels in Chicago Thanks for looking into this. I'm still not seeing the extra pay channels (like HBO2) showing up in the Tivo Guide. Thanks

rcbrcb Premium join:2007-02-21 Chicago, IL	Re: [CATV] New HD Channels in Chicago I had all the pay channel added by TiVo late last week. Is your Tivo set for the "Digital Re-Build"?
	permalink · 2008-09-29 17:36:15 ·

steinbch join:2007-01-05 Chicago, IL	Also, make sure that if you have specific channels you are not displaying that you check the menu for adding channels. I had the same problem with the extra Cinemax channels not showing up at first.
	permalink · 2008-09-29 18:24:57 ·

cgoguy join:2008-05-20	Re: [CATV] New HD Channels in Chicago That was the issue- the channels weren't checked in the "channels I receive" section. All is good now. Here's looking forward to seeing more HD channels added soon.

coopertwist join:2004-09-16 Chicago, IL	They added Hallmark Movie Channel HD on 765 but its not live yet...maybe there is more on the way.

coopertwist join:2004-09-16 Chicago, IL	I called tech support about the Hallmark channel to see if it's a HD Premium and they said it was in that package. Also, said other channels added where 624 USA HD, 625 Spike TV HD, 646 Style HD, 651 CNBC HD, 765 Hallmark Movie Chnnl HD. So far I only see Hallmark. Who knows when.

I will have to keep my eye out for them on the HD TiVo's. It usally takes a few days for that info to cacth up with TiVo through Tribune Media...
