• Radio stations that were at 38-* are now at 108-*.
• Discovery Channel at 37-4 or 90-4 is now 36-2203(PC)/36-3(TV) or 89-2203(PC)/89-3(TV).

• C-SPAN at 32-1 or 116-1 is now at 35-2101(PC)/35-1(TV) or 92-2101(PC)/92-1(TV).
• C-SPAN2 at 32-2 or 116-2 is now at 35-2102(PC)/35-2(TV) or 92-2102(PC)/92-2(TV).
• HSN at 32-9 or 116-9 is now at 35-2109(PC)/35-7(TV) or 92-2109(PC)/92-9(TV).
• QVC at 32-10 or 116-10 is now at 35-2110(PC)/35-8(TV) or 92-2110(PC)/92-10(TV).
• Jewelry TV at 89-8 is now at 90-2309(PC)/90-9(TV).

• UWTV2 at 36-10 or 89-10 is now at 38-307 or 107-307.

Also, I continue to get UWTV2 at 122-307 and Root Sports NW at 122-308.

Enjoy,

Is anyone getting intermittent drop outs of KOMOHD? I am recording through Windows Media Center on an avermedia A180 (or A188, no way to tell which tuner is recording as far as I know). On Sunday a 15 minute chunk got cut out of once upon a time, and on monday castle got cut off after 25 minutes. Media Center shows 100% signal quality on all tuners and this has only happened on channel 4-1. If no one else is getting signal losses I guess I have to do some more troubleshooting.

Thanks.

Yup, I've noticed them, too. On Comcast.

I was getting them last Sat during the NASCAR nationwide race on ABC. I haven't watched any ABC since then though.

Here's a list update. The changes are those that cbdavi19 and levibluewa outlined above. (C-SPAN, C-SPAN2, Discovery, EAS, FMs from 38-X, Hallmark, HSN, Jewelry, QVC, UWTV, and UWTV2 have all moved.)

I have noticed most of my channels seem to be running at 88 to 94% in the last week as opposed to a steady 94 to 100%. Comcast must be trying to 'streamline' the network again or something. I am also using WMC and the signal strength loss does affect my recordings. I am also on Comcast.

Has anybody heard when Comcast Seattle Market going to add the BBC World News Channel. Its Been in Portland and other major markets for several months now ?

or new HD channels in general?

Comcast Begins National Launch of X1: Next-Generation Cloud Enabled Television Platform and Introduces The X1 Remote Control App
X1 Video Platform Transforms Traditional TV into Integrated Entertainment Experience -
Complete with Apps, Sleek Navigation, Personalization and Social Media Tools

Available in the Coming Weeks in Boston; More Markets to Follow This Year

PHILADELPHIA and BOSTON - May 21, 2012

Comcast, one of the nation's leading providers of entertainment, information, and communications products and services, announced today it will launch its next-generation television experience, Xfinity TV on the X1 Platform, and a new X1 remote control app in the coming weeks. This cloud-enabled platform, unlike any other video service existing today, delivers the world's largest collection of video and transforms the TV into an entirely new integrated entertainment experience. These new products will launch in Boston with several major markets planned to follow this year, and will be available to new Xfinity Triple Play with HD/DVR service customers at no additional cost.

The X1 platform makes the TV smarter, richer and more personalized - and that's only the beginning. Our goal is to leverage this platform to redefine the entertainment experience for our customers, said Marcien Jenckes, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Video Services for Comcast Cable. X1 is a giant leap forward, essentially transforming our video product from a hardware experience to a software experience, allowing us to innovate faster and more aggressively.

The X1 platform incorporates IP technology, using cloud servers on Comcast's network that allow Comcast to integrate interactive, customized apps and social media features with its traditional video services to create an entirely new television experience. This is part of Comcast's ongoing and evolving effort to take advantage of IP technology to constantly bring new innovation and features to market.

Showcased this week at NCTA's The Cable Show 2012 in Boston, highlights of X1 include:

A main screen with a sleek new user interface that integrates a customer's video experiences and enables one-click access to a highly visual display of entertainment options
Unified search and instant play, along with recommendations, with the ability to find entertainment content in seconds from TV listings, DVR recordings and Xfinity On Demand using a new smart remote
Specially tailored-for-TV features such as customized social networking and music, radio, sports, traffic and weather apps
Equipped with a new hybrid DVR set-top box with tru2way and IP capabilities that delivers an advanced personalized TV viewing experience as well as an enhanced remote control that offers greater responsiveness and does not require a line-of-sight connection to the set-top-box
X1 Remote Control App
The new companion X1 remote control app enables customers to use motion and gesture control to drive their TV experience through the touch-screen of their handheld iPhone and iPod touch. For instance, customers can swipe their device to page through the interactive TV guides on their television screen; program personalized short-cuts and favorites (Quick Links) on the TV, and even shake the device to pause On Demand content playing on the television. In addition, customers can use the devices' virtual keyboard to search among and play tens of thousands of video choices on their TVs faster than ever before - even faster than using the traditional remote control. The remote provides the ability to filter by genre and HD; control the DVR and interact with social media tools and apps.

The X1 remote app unites the TV screen with customers' mobile devices by creating an integrated experience between the customers' swipe controls on their device and the viewing experience on the TV - they truly mirror each other, said Sree Kotay, Senior Vice President and Chief Software Architect for Comcast Cable. By building this new app, we've made the remote control smarter and more functionaland just plain fun.

X1 (formerly Xcalibur) has been in customer trials in Augusta, GA., since 2011.

I messaged @ComcastWA about when we might expect an X1 rollout here. The response was:

Thx! We are eager, but haven't heard any specific timing yet. Stay tuned (no pun intended, really ...)

Did everyone lose 13.2 AccuWeather, or just up here.

It's gone down in Pierce County as well. With digital cable, it is replaced with a blue screen that says "Fox First Forecast by Accuweather is no longer available on this channel."

I like that it doesn't say where it is available, or if it will be replaced... just a generic message.

Exactly what I thought...no longer available on this channel...ok, then where is it???? Oh, Comcast...such an efficient operation.

Nowhere; Q13 pulled the plug on it.

13.2 OTA is gone, and most references to the Q13 Fox First Forecast Channel are scrubbed from their website, as well.

The listings for 13.2, right now, are for 8-hour blocks of "SIGN OFF".

Might be a good sign, they can give more bandwidth to the main HD channel.

I have a Sony TV that uses the "TV Guide". It was getting its info from channel 7/CBS. As of 2 days ago, no more guide updates!
Anyone else use TV Guide?

It's either CBS or Comcast blocking/stopping the info...

I'm on Comcast's Roosevelt head end. Comcast's inserter has been a little confused about what time it is, varying from two to six minutes slow for the last couple days but the guide data is still present as far I can see. Just measured the time offset at about 80 seconds slow.

I get TVGOS data on any of the channels multiplexed with KIRO 107, i.e. 72, 106, 107 and 117 (110-1, 110-2, 110-3 and 110-1021 for non cable card devices). Comcast used to provide analog TVGOS on channel 7 analog, but that service was terminated a couple of months ago.

Can anyone confirm if they are still getting CBUT HD on 60.2? I seem to have lost it after the reshuffle. I'm in the process of doing a full rescan now, but was wondering if anyone else is still receiving it.

I just confirmed that I still get CBUT HD on 60.2 in Mill Creek.

60.2 is still good here. However, at least one Sony set has lost 110.12 & 117.1021 MEtv.

New channel being added to Comcast Digital Limited - channel 90 or 44.4 (OTA) Untamed Sports. Supposedly on 6/15 but already available but without any guide data through my DVR's EPG.

Yeah, I received this email on the 29th of May (yeah, I know, late to the party, but...):

Thanks for writing us, xxxx. Q13 Fox First Forecast / AccuWeather no longer airs on Comcast 98 (13.2, KCPQ’s secondary channel). Our contract ended, and station management opted not to renew. For now, there is nothing on our secondary channel, but it will be filled with programming sometime down the road.



Our local weather reporting is available within our newscasts M-F 4:30-10a, 4-6p and 10-11p nightly (as well as 9-10p on KZJO – JOEtv ch10); weekends at 9-9:30p on JOEtv and 10-10:30p on KCPQ.



Thank you for watching us.

With 13.2 empty, I'm surprised they don't consider simulcasting KZJO to increase coverage. They did that with 22.2! Sure, that wouldn't benefit Comcast subscribers, but still!

44.4 is available here in Bremerton on my digital TV without a cable box. Channel 90 doesn't exist (yet) using the cable box.

Here's an update of the QAM list. There have only been a few minor changes since last time.

• Added KHCV/Untamed Sports (PSIP 44-4, QAM 96-6, Comcast 90)
• Changed KVOS/Me-TV PSIP from 110-12 to 12-1 (QAM is still 110-1021)
• Noted KCPQ/Accuweather (and its 13-2 PSIP) has been discontinued

This morning....12.1 & 12.2 are now MEtv & COOL TV. Imagine that...Comcast putting MEtv & COOL TV at 12.1 & 12.2. I wonder how they decided that? Haven't been able to find the HD version of 28.1. 28.1 is now KBTC in SD with PSIP data indicating KBTCHD

OK, I give up...with the new, improved forum look how do you get the latest post at the top of the list????? Can't find it.
