random - they seem to have removed MSG2HD and MSG+2HD.

Maybe its to make room for the special olympics channels (odd, since they were SDV - and I assume those will be as well)

Anyone able to access the diags via channel 996 in NYC? I get the a Diags no available at this time message. I know that I can access the "full" diags by pressing select, wait until the light blinks and then pressing the up button. I found the summarized version via Ch. 996 very convenient. Is it just me or my area... or is this feature not yet enabled for anyone anywhere.

there's probably no overflow games or events for a while. my guess would be olympics will be heavily viewed and therefore won't be SDV. we shall see.

no sign of the Olympic channels yet - Soccer starts today (even though they announced the special channels starting 7/28)
It does look like every game for these 2 days will be shown at least in part on either NBC Sports or MSNBC, so I guess it isn't a significant loss (plus they're all available on the website)

This is the full extent of what I'm getting from TWC3D -


Customer Support claims that my STB model SA-8300HDC doesn't support the 3D channel (which I don't believe)

Here is my config -




Who else can/can't access TWC3D and what STB do you have?

I have the Samsung HD box SMT H3260.
Channel 484 says "This Channel is Currently Unabailable Please Try Again Later".
Channel 1333 shows up on my TiVo Premieres but it's not available on the Samsung 3260.
I called CS several times since Friday and I get a rep in the Phillipines.
None of the CS rep were very helpful at all.
As of 11:30 AM Sunday morning still no Olympics in 3D frown.gif

bball 449 isn't working for me either - Tell TWC it is not working - so they know there's a problem (use their Twitter TWCableHelp)

Edit - I just got one of the twitter help people to escalate the problem locally

If you have HBO - check their 3d on demand and see if it works - that'll at least give you something to work with when you speak to them.

(note - i dont have a 3dtv - nor do I connect with an HDMi cable - the box might check for that things before it tunes into the SDV channel - i can play a 3d movie on hbo, but I get the same message on 484)

449 and 450 have been operational in my area since thursday.

Update: The 3D Support/Cable Card hotline tech just informed me that the problem has been handed off to the local engineers, who confirmed that this outage affects all of NYC.

HBO 3D on Demand works fine, and I let them know this to steer them in the right direction.

Update: Movies on Demand 3D also works ok, if you can find it -

Find Channels-->On Demand-->Movies-->All New-->Enjoy Better-->3D (there has to be an easier way)

I just learned that I cannot record today's daytime Olympics broadcast on NBC-HD (Ch. 704) because the block of time it occupies (7 AM to 6 PM) is too large for TWC's system. (It's nearly 1 PM now and I tried to start recording by pressing the red REC button, so I was not trying to record the entire 11 hour span, just the remaining 5:15, but it didn't matter; I get a popup alert saying that I cannot record because the box is full even though it's only 24% full). I called TWC and was told that this is an issue that they are aware of and are working on. But until they fix it, it will not be possible to record those long programming blocks. The CSR said that since the Olympics is 18 days they hope to resolve the issue at some point before the Olympics is over.

HBO 3D is working fine for me here in Hudson Valley as well.
I watched Dolphin Tale 3D last night.
I guess this means that 3D is activated on your account.
Channel 484 still not working for me at 1 PM.

I am able to record NBC-HD on-the-fly from my 8300HDC, running ODN 5_2_0_7, without a problem.

I was able to start an on-the-fly recording at about 2:30 today, even though I couldn't do it earlier.
