Primetime OD HD launched on 1506.

Just NBC and CBS stuff for now. I expect ABC to be a part of this soon.

Next Tuesday, Adult OD HD moves to the HD section and still no word on those delayed RSN's in HD and SD.

Waiting on another legal notice in anticipation of a December update. Nothing today though but I'll be checking the paper until Nayan returns from vacation.

No legal notice today or yesterday in the Sentinel.

Has anyone seen one? I just want to check as Nayan never misses them in Florida Today.

I've heard from someone were getting more HD soon and want to make sure we do not miss a legal notice while Nayan is away.

It will be in tomorrows paper. New channels coming in December.

Analysis of new HD Channels

As I predicted, we did get GSN HD, C-SPAN HD and the HUB HD. It's ironic that we were one of the only cable systems without GSN for so long and now we are one of the early ones to get it in HD. Apparently only their original game shows are in HD but nice to have it in HD section.

The Hub might not have much HD but it's great to have in HD section so I can watch my boyhood programming like Doogie Howser, The Wonder Years, batman, old cartoons like G.I. Joe and more without having to leave the 1000's.

C-SPAN HD will be a treat for political junkies and 2 and 3 HD are on TWC deals so they can be in a future update.

We also landed Big Ten Network HD OD and Game 2 HD for MLB/NHL fans.

Ovation HD and EWTN HD were on TWC systems so we are likely to be the first BHN system with them. Interestingly, EWTN is on month to month deals but I still stand by my theory that the month to month deals are preventing us from landing Lifetime, The Weather Channel, Tru TV and more Starz and Encore in HD.

A few months ago they gave us the Tampa version of BHSN for a saturday football game. It will be nice to have the Tampa news version Bay News 9 which I watch when I go to the west coast. It's similar to ours and has the sidebars like News 13.

In the end, I like this update and feel BHn really maxed out on what they could add. I do worry that there will be no drop dead date on Dec 31 for channels I listed above on month to month deals as it will stall us from getting the HD version of those channels. We will have to hope for the best.

I am surprised we did not get Galavision HD as it has been popping up on other BHN systems and you have to wonder if Gospel Music Channel HD is still in the cards but then again, we got Palladia HD way after everyone else. In addition, BHN talked about the great response they got when they added the channel last year so you have to wonder.

All in all, a nice update.

Dead on!

Thanks chdwil!

Has anyone heard anything about getting the NFL channel?

No time soon.

Good additions how about olther BHN/TWC Local News/Sports/Weather Channels and from Florida to?

I think baynews9 is only other local 24 hour station owned by BHN.

Thanks for taking the reigns while I was away . Ohhh and new channels to boot! GSN HD will be cool as they have a few newer shows that are in HD, so that's a plus. CSpan is a nice add as is The Hub and another channel for the sports packages.

Speaking of sports packages, while I was gone in the mail came a notice that if you have the Sports Pac you can sign up for Speed 2, which is an online 'channel' like ESPN3. It'll have special racing programs and live races. Both will be available this month.

Bay News 9 is one of a couple local 24 hour news channels run by BH, including our own News 13. I believe there's one in GA as well as one other in a state I can't remember now LOL. I do know that Time Warner has New York 1 and we received that for a few months after Sept. 11th.

I have been hoping, wishing and everything in-between for NFL Network but no signs of it yet . Maybe I'll try Voodoo dolls next?

It's great to have Nayan back.

I've heard of speed2 but prob best to call customer service.

Our next chance for NFL Network is probably after they settle the labor talks next year and prehaps have a Thursday game every week instead of only half the season.

It's still a longshot though especially with NFL Network in more homes with the comcast and cable co-op deals. These make getting on more systems less of a priority.

Anyone else notice the the CBS and NBC On Demand shows haven't really updated since Tuesday Nov. 9th. Nothing has shown up since then.

So much for their commercials that state catching the shows the day after they air.

I talked with CSR a couple weeks ago and he said the networks CBS, NBC control what they get and when they get it. BH can only show what is given to them and sometimes they do not even get the HD version of shows but if you go to SDV channel which I think is CH 302 or 303, they will have a more recent show which is not on the HD channel.
As I said this was a couple weeks ago it may be different now.

I just figure since nothing has been updated on both the HD NBC and CBS sections and being that they're 2 different networks that there might be a technical issue since the episodes usually appear a day or 2 later.

I am not sure if they offer it on those channels, but have you tried pressing the Select button on the remote and checking for 'Enhanced'? This is a new service that allows you to watch shows 3 days later. Not all shows or channels offer this but it might have what you're looking for. Honestly I am disappointed with the OD offerings this season, especially the HD versions. Last year almost every show was available and this year sucks. No Biggest Loser, no Undercover Boss, no Big Bang, no...ummm....'stuff' My Dad Says. Dismal offerings at best. That's one reason I love my DVR .

Go down to the end of the section and they will have a tap for each series.

Click on that and see if it is there.

I also heard Time Warner has ABC on Primetime HD OD so we should be getting it soon.

I'd already checked there since that caught me a week or 2 ago. SD updates are there, just no HD. I already downloaded the 2 HD shows I missed so no big deal here, but it'd be nice if it started working again.

It's called "Look Back" on mine and that could have helped me with The Office. I forgot about the feature and 1020 currently has some of the shows back to Thursday.

Went to pay my bill at the office this morning and asked if they just might happen to have one of those new Cisco boxes. Yes they did and it's in my grubby little hands! After I finish watching my taped shows I'm gonna plug that baby in. The remote is huge and she said it lights up at night. I am easily amused by such thingsso I am a happy gal .

Is it the 8642? If so it is MOCA capable. You need the 4642 to pair it with for the Multi Room to work. Multi Room is not enabled yet, but when it is you must have the 8642 and 4642.

I've brought up BHN potentially throttling youtube before with limited discussion. Latley I've been having more youtube and flash video performance issues. After some digging, I came across a test, which claims my connection is being throttled.


I'm curious to see what others are getting. I have turbo and typically measure speeds at or near advertised. But obviously simple speed tests dont test various types of traffic. They just tried to sell me on lightning, but I'll be damned if i'm going to pay 20 bucks more a month when the 20Mbps I have now SHOULD be sufficient for most anything I'd like to do if they weren't throttling traffic. Pair Youtube's overloaded servers with throttled bandwidth, and it's no wonder I have to rebuffer on even 480p videos.

Just ran the flash test and I got:
There is no indication that your ISP rate limits your uploads.
There is no indication that your ISP rate limits your downloads.

upload: 978 Kbps

people, get right, do Ceton InifityTV4..

Adult OD HD is now in the HD section. I never get anythng on it but my chart on this page has been updated to reflect it.

Also, CBS and NBC are now out of HD Showcase and only on Primetime OD HD.

Still no RSN's though. I hope they really are "Coming Soon".

How is the Ceton card working out for you?

American Life (152) is still on the air. Not sure if deadline is in AM or PM though.

I never watch the channel but nice to have a little drama and have another channel off the month to month list.
