Nashville, TN - Comcast - Page 122

I will say that even though their cable is sub par for what I and most thinks it should be, their phone service is probably their best feature. I have had it for I believe 3 years without a problem from it.

Because of their cable and a couple other issues I am considering switching but I'm hesitant because I have hear other services are even worse.

We've had the triple-play for over 5 years and for us everything has worked really good with very few 'down' times.

I notice the schedule in the guide for CSSHD just shows "off-air", what do they even use that channel for, is there no full time HD feed of CSS?

Hmmm! My TiVo has guide for it. I would have sworn the cable box did also. At least, I believe it did. I wish the Tivo didn't if they are going to have it off the air.

The only time I recall the channel being used is during college football season and then, only when they show live games.

Anybody know when the Nashville Comcast system is going to get all the Game HD(GMHD) channels for MLB Extra Innings? They are available as I see on the iNDemand Revised 2012 MLB Innings Schedule that it shows HD channels all the way up to GMHD09, except for GMHD01 and GameHD02, the rest are not carried here in Nashville on Comcast.

Anybody else see the WatchESPN commercial, it shows you being able to watch ESPN and Xfinity is one of the providers that it is available from, but that commercial is pretty much false. Because when you try and use the WatchESPN app it does not show Xfinity as one of the providers that the content is available from and when you try to watch anything but live events at WatchESPN.com it says the same thing, that Xfinity is not one of the providers that you watch something like Sportscenter with, it is only available with Time Warner,Bright House, Verizon FIOS or Verizon Broadband. Very frustrating that ESPN themselves are providing misleading information.On a note, I have an android, so I can't attest to whether it works or not on an iOS device.

EDIT: I just found a link through the Xfinity website that allows me to use the WatchESPN function to watch the live ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU streams, although it makes no sense to me why it will work here but when I go to the WatchESPN website it tells me that Xfinity is not an available provider, someone to needs to fix that as it appears to be in error, also it seems like they just haven't added Xfinity to the list of providers for the WatchESPN on Android only

Haven't tried the app but you can watch ESPN on any device you have an internet connection w/Xfinity. I watched ESPN 'live' on my work computer the day this became available (a few weeks ago).

Now looks like CSSHD is live full-time, there is a football program currently airing and I see a full-time schedule on channel 1671, it does go "off-air" during the middle of the night, presumably when there is no programming whatsoever.

DOH! I didn't see that they list comcast at the watchespn website now, my bad

Can someone tell me what new box Comcast is replacing the DCX3400-M boxes with? My hard drive died on the DCX3400 (service menu showed temp of 491F) and the Comcast guy installing it this morning told my wife that this new box is in very high demand. He said it had a bigger hard drive, but was smaller than the DCX3400. She said he just told her it was the MOCA. What brand and model would this be?

I've checed 1671 several times since your post and it has been black everytime.

I am curious what the current Nashville Comcast rental HD DVR is. Storage in HD hours or in gb? Dual tuner or single? Rents for $17 a month?

Considering another HD Tivo and cable card, but want to know what the rental box is first.

Thanks

The new box is the Motorola DCX 3501 with the 500gb HD, dual tuner. Not sure if Comcast has enabled the option, but there is an eSATA port to add your own external HD to expand the storage capacity.

I have an HD Tivo with an M cablecard that has been working for years on limited basic. I upgraded to digital preferred package and after several calls and a re-pair I got more SD channels - but no additional HD channels (locals in HD only). Not all SD channels listed in the pack are working, but most seem to be. IIt is likely that I still have a trap on the pole from the analog cable days, if that matters. On the missing SD and HD channels the Tivo shows 100% signal strength, so it is authorization?



Are the HD channels included with the preferred pack? There is an extra HD fee ($10) but that is for an HD cable box, I thought. If I added an HD DVR to my account (for a 2nd room) for $17 (?) would that get me HD access? I know folks with HD channels and no extra fees but I have been told by some reps the HD is extra, others say included...



Thanks

You need to pay for the HD package if you want the non-local stations in HD. We have the expensive triple play package that comes w/the HD package. Otherwise you're stuck w/just the locals and all others in digital. You should get all the SD stations though.

So if I run by Comcast and pick up a Motorola DCX 3501 they would add $27 a month to my bill ($10 HD fee plus $17 DVR rental) ? Or would it just be $17? Would I then get HD on my cablecard TiVo too?

On a related note, did Comcast close the Hermitage location? It shows up on a Google search still but is not shown on CC's locator. You also can't call the local locations any more, I the numbers I tried roll to some nationwide call center now.

They were out of 3501 boxes when my wife got there, so they gave her a 500gb dual tuner 3400. Pretty much the same?

Their pricing is insanely difficult to follow (and they change it all the time): you will pay a fee for the DVR and the HD fee. $17/month seems high for their box though. Yes, once you get the HD "package" all the HD stations will be on your TiVo.
We have 2 HD Tivo's.

It was there for a short time and gone again, I have no idea whats going on.

I i have a feeling they only have it active for live events. That would be OK with me if the guide reflected it. It's annoying to set the DVR only to find nothing has been recorded.

They told us wrong, they gave us a 250gb 3400 :-( Now we have to go through the hassle of trying to find the right box and swapping it out...

Nope, it was the full CSS HD feed, but they took it down again for some unknown reason.

Anyone else see a Verizon FIOS commercial last night on MYTV WUXP TV 30 w/ Craig Robinson from the Office? I didn't think Nashville had FIOS, which is why I found that very strange? Maybe it ran it error? I have no idea, but I did see it and I was watching tv with other people who saw it as well.

^^ Nashville will never get FIOS (unfortunately). It might have been a national ad spot.

Is the Anyroom DVR available in Nashville? Where you can record on one DVR but watch the recording on up to 3 other DVRs in your home.

If yes, does anyone have it, and does it work well?

If you have a digital box there is a dedicated search function for the 2012 Summer Olympics to show all the channels that events are currently airing on, also there are two special "feed" channels for basketball and soccer and also a 3D feed channel from NBC.

There has never been a fulltime CSS HD in Nashville. The channel is only used to show HD versions of select games.

Thank you for clearing that up.

Do you know why Comcast has shows in the guide data for 1671 when the channel is actually black? is there a way the customer can tell which programs will actually air on 1671?

Check your bill under the 'News from Comcast' section it probably states this:

Your area will be previewing CSS HD full time on HD Digital Starter
Channel 1671 starting August 31st, 2012, and officially launching on
October 14th, 2012.

I live in Knoxville and have family members living in Nashville and they said there bill stated the above. Knoxville has had the full time HD feed up for about 5 days now and its on the same channel 1671, we also just had our duplicated HD channel numbers below 1000 removed recently.

They have been promoting the launch on there website also:
