Los Angeles, CA - TWC - Page 16

I finally got program info for CinemaxHD (premium, don't subscribe), DiscoveryHD, and some additional crappy local channel (20). However, it still won't let me access DiscoveryHD... hopefully it will be ironed out today.

Discovery HD & Cinemax HD

My bill indicated these channels would be added on Dec. 15. A few days ago, I noticed the channels were appearing in the guide with no program info. Today, there is program info, but when I select the channel, it says not available, click to order. So, I assume this is the same message that eyecannon got, and hopefully by tonight it will appear. I got no information about any TBS HD, and I never heard of that channel; I have heard of TNT HD, but there was no message from adelphia in my bill about that. So any news on those channels would be good to hear.

Just called Adelphia's 24 hr customer svc number to have Discovery HD enabled and according to "Carlos" it's "not in their system". Curious, considering there's a message on my TV to CALL ADELPHIA TO ORDER THIS CHANNEL!!!!! Maybe I'll try back in an hour...

I called about adding DiscoveryHD and I was told that it was not extra, but part of the normal HD package. She told me that they are working on getting the channel up and that I should have it soon.

Moxi outage & Discovery HD

Last night, Moxi went out. I could only watch what I had already recorded; none of the live tv channels were coming in. Same this morning. When I called the rep said it was a problem with Moxi boxes in my area (Valley) and they hope to fix it soon. Anyone else have this? I hit reset, uplugged, hit menu & ok on the box -- nothing worked.

Discovery HD came in last night, just in time for that Chopper show. Wife was less than thrilled. THis morning, something called Sunrise Earth or something, with two minute shots of nature scenes -- might be the most boring thing ever on tv.

As of this morning, no new HD channels in Seal Beach.

Anyone else in OC have them?

Service to my Moxi was out from 3pm yesterday until this morning. I called CS and they said it was a systemwide problem, and they credited me for my service for the day (woo hoo $3!) DiscoveryHD is still not working though...

West LA btw

I wonder if this was just a L.A. problem. Mine was ok last night here in Ventura County. Just FYI.

No new HD channels as of last night either.

My Discovery HD started working yesterday too. Woo hoo.... (Sarcasm) What a bore-fest that channel is. I'll get as much use out of that one as i do PBS. It seems like all they are offering is "novelty" channels, like some fish swimming just to show of HD. But, nothing really worth watching. Hopefully they will step it up and offer some InHD, TNT-HD, or something.

You're crazy, PBS and Discovery are the two best HD channels!

Then i guess i'm crazy Honestly I've watched it (pbs) once for some live performance of an orchestra. The only other time is when guests want to see what HD looks like, because it always looks good. But content wise, there is almost nothing a 20 year old like me can sit through just to watch something pretty looking. That's just my opinion though, obviously.

Soundstage and Austin City Lights on PBS-HD have had some great rock concerts on.

Jim

Discovery-HD is coming in now (Los Feliz, Eagle Rock office). Where I got TBS-HD I haven't a clue. I think I saw "TBA" -- as in "To Be Announced" -- and my brain thought TBS (I know, dumb, but it was after a long day at work...).

Called Adelphia again and was told that Discovery HD was "still under testing" and that it would come on automatically very soon, no charge...

Moxi is back in action as promised. Down for about a day, it just came back. Hopefully such outages will be infrequent. Also, it saved what I had recorded and what I had scheduled to record. I did not have to hit reset button or do anything.

Discover HD is really . . . . . oh, sorry, I dozed off for a second -- too much Discovery HD. Yawn. Wifey likey though, so it makes the whole HD thing more usable for her, which is nice.

Can someone please post the exact channel #(ex.110-4) of Discovery HD in eagle rock/los feliz for those of us with quam-tuners?I assume it's being sent clear and not encrypted?I can't find it.

Anybody in Santa Monica getting D-HD or Cinemax-HD yet? I called them on the 15th and they said it's good to go but the channels have not shown up yet on my Moxi.

I've had Adelphia and Moxi down in Hermosa Beach for about 3 months now, but the DVI connection has never worked (sometimes picture will come up for a second, then disappear). Is this because of the current software version on the box, or should I request a new one from Adelphia?

I live in Santa Monica and I still havent seen either of these 2 channels added to my system, according to my bill they were suppose to be added on December 15th. Any word on when these two channels will be avaliable.

DVI will not be turned on till next year sometime. That's what Moxiguy has said in the past. It won't do any good to exchange your box at this point.
We'll get it one of these days...
Jim

The DVI port is not enable yet on the MOXI, we are waiting a new software release the first quarter of the 2005 with this feature. meanwhile you can use the component video plugs.

I think that is an Adelphia bummer, I have HDTV and Moxi boxes and the new channels did not appear in none of them.

RE: the 2 new channels:

This may or may not help, but, while Discovery-HD was turned on (Cinemax-HD is an extra subscription, I guess), I didn't get channel programming for the two until I reset the Moxi.

BTW: the PQ on the Discovery channel is phenomenal. Easily the best of any HD station that I'm getting from Adelphia. I now know more about snakes than I thought I ever would...

I just email adelphia those who are on a 750 mhz system such as Santa Monica does not have the proper bandwidth to handle discovery HD and cinemax HD, they will not be added on to our channels.

My DiscoveryHD was turned on as well here in West LA

Nothing new added here in Ventura County. We had a power outage earlier thet rebooted the Moxi box and the Motorola 6200. I was hoping the new channels might show up after that but no luck.

Jim

Discovery HD and Ciinemax HD now on in Diamond Bar. Rides looks excellent in HD.

Anyone know what Cinemax HD runs per month?

My TV is scanning right now. I'll post the nyumbers it finds and hope it coordinates to your system. (West LA)

UPDATE: Scan complete NO new channels.
