I can't believe there isn't more of an uproar. I really can't use this. Recordings fail constantly now. Right now, it actually says it's recording something... but it's not. I just get a black screen if I try to play the "in progress" recording.

It's too bad. I've resisted so long abandoning them and really don't want to, but this DVR is really near useless if I have to babysit every recording to make sure it actually happens.

A few "Trick" updates

Because the current Game (1 and 2) and Team (1) channels are switching channel numbers to get in order when all of the Game/Team channels launch on Friday, we will not likely see templates until they go up. At least that's my guess.

However, Gospel Music Channel HD which launches in two weeks on October 11, now has a template up via "The Trick" on 1317.

I'm going to grab the paper when it hits my driveway the next three mornings to see the notice when it comes. I really feel the Weather Channel HD standoff is coming to an end and we might just get more goodies as well.

The Legal Notice is in the paper this morning.

Even though it seems we have had HD announced every month this year, there is nothing.

When I first saw how the notice was bigger than normal, I was happy but quickly disappointed especially since myself and many others had hoped to finally get Weather Channel HD.

On the bright side, that probably means were getting a notice in October or November for a decent sized update at the end of the year.

As for the rest of the notice, it's mostly just merging some SD OD channels together which is nice, zap2it being dumped and TV Guide Network which we got a few months ago essentially replacing it. The month to months stay the same with the exception of the American Life to Youtoo name change. Nayan will probably post everything.

It sucks but I'm confident we are due for a bigger update by the end of the year and maybe even NFL Network this November. We should feel fortunate we've gotten as much HD as we have this year. Our good friend Kevin has only gotten two HD channels this year in Texas.

Oh I'm sure there is an uproar, they just don't let you know. When they put out that update a year or two ago that screwed up the Samsung boxes I could never get a CSR (phone and office) to actually admit there was a problem. They knew I was knowledgeable and let me know that there was major problems with hints. The Cisco boxes had just come out and were VERY hard to come by. I went to two offices every day to check for one. On the forth day the CSR realized I kept coming back and took my name and number and said she would call as soon as one came in. Two days later I got the call!!

You need a Comcast notice to but that would come in Bill or something they send in Mail because other Comcast will post Notices in thier cities Newspapers.

I don't think Comcast has any service areas here in Brevard and if they do it's not in my area. I've never seen a notice in my local fish wrapper for them but if they did add one I would be more than happy to post it!

HDOrlando I have a hunch that something will be announced to be added come monday on the legal notice as I can not see TWC moving 120 SD channels to SDV next monday just cause they feel like it. I think they are getting ready for more HD channels and need more bandwidth on SDV QAMs or they are maxed out on SDV Capacity and need new QAMs to help allieviate congestion. I think maybe a mix of both.

Kevin,

I agree.

They might give you those new Game and Team Hd channels that were getting tomorrow.

I'm expecting our notice will come at the end of October with goodies like Weather Channel HD, NESN HD, HSN HD, QVC HD, Sundance HD and maybe a general cleanup of the carriage deals.

It is frustrating waiting for HD.

I so hope you are right and I do hope the new channels aren't delayed. I know we've had delays before but with the notice yesterday of really nothing new we could use a boost right about now.

And my Rays did it! /happy dance!

Nayan: We will see what happens tonight. It would be nice if the June 29 update was included so I can knock off all of the pending stuff on the list.

That was amazing by The Rays last night. It sucks my Yankees lost but The Rays deserved to go and that was an amazing few minutes where Boston lost and Tampa Bay won. I loved seeing Boston choke.

mgsports: Well, your always complaining about Comcast Orlando things so I thought you'd be a good person to get that thread started up.

i have been a baseball fan for over 50 years. i heard bobby thompson's walk off home run; i heard don larsen pitch his perfect game. but nothing was as amazing as what happened in an 8 minute span wednesday night. that was something even hollywood couldn't script.

and yes it would be nice to get the june 29 update friday!!!!

I'd invite him over and cook him the biggest steak of his life!

I hate to ask but any news on the NFLN front? Even a little nibble? And I wish that BH would update their news section! They should know not everyone get's a paper and I then have to explain to my neighbors that they didn't take away a channel, but renamed it. Then they give me a weird look and ask why. At least if they kept it updated I could direct them there.

hate to burst your bubble here. the yankees earned a right to rest their starters since they already clinched the top seed in the american league. boston brought their own misery. they did not need any help from girardi.

beside, he did start some of the regular guys. i presume he pulled them when they had a 7-0 lead.

iceturkee: Wow! Those were some big moments in MLB. Must have been a thrill but last night was exciting too. Yankees definitely earned right to rest up. Hopefully, that does not derail their momentum.

I'll post if the channels go up tonight.

Peter: LOL!

Nayan: I bet your a good cook from all the food channels. There is nothing new on NFLN. I feel this will go down to Nov 10 like Turkee predicts. It's very frustrating for all of us especially when I could use the RedZone Channel this week and NFLN is planning another good documentary.

Jax: They have been saying that for a while. It's going to happen but it just seems like it keeps getting put off.

HD Orlando I think that this is going to be interesting with Baseball as my hometown Rangers are taking on the Tampa Bay Rays and the winner of this series faces the winner of the Yankees vs. Detroit series. So lets keep are diferences aside please everyone to be nice not saying anything bad just that I want to talk about HDTV not baseball eventhough I support my team.

Back to regularly scheduled programming!!! Ha Ha

My TWC area has gotten a lot of the current TWC/BHN HD adds over the last year such as:

ESPN3D
ESPN Deportes HD
Lifetime HD
DIY HD
COOKING CHANNEL HD
TV ONE HD
ESPN GOAL LINE HD
HSN HD
GOL HD
BTN HD
FSC HD
FSC + HD
G4 HD
NAT GEO WILD HD
HALLMARK HD
MTV HD
CMT HD
BET HD
VH1 HD
COMEDY CENTRAL HD
NICK HD
SPIKE HD
truTV HD
Investigation Discovery HD
H2 HD
MLB NETWORK HD (Holdover from 2009 that we got when SDV rolled out)

So HD Orlando we really only lack a lot of the east coast premium HD channels as we only have the east coast feeds in SD except for HBO and Cinemax and in Texas (TWC only provides the East coast feeds in HD save for the main HBO HD and SHOWTIME HD in areas that got both main feeds in HD of HBO and SHOWTIME when HD first launched) and niche HD channels such as:

E! HD
BBC AMERICA HD
HUB HD
GSN HD
STYLE HD
FUSE HD
IFC HD
WGN HD
OWN HD
OXYGEN HD
REELZ HD
BLOOMBERG HD
FOX DEPORTES HD
GMC HD
CRIME AND INVESTIGATION HD
OVATION HD
CSPAN HD
CSPAN2 HD
CSPAN3 HD

Kevin,

There is a lot of parity in these baseball playoffs.

Anyone could take it so it will be fun.

TWC/BHN provide nice HD lineups. We have just about all of the stuff on both lists and hopefully were both getting a nice update by year's end.

Could BHN be having yet another delay?

The new Game and Team HD channels are not up as of 5 AM.

It's possible they get added later this morning or next week when the NHL starts or maybe they are going to do it and our June 29 HD Update together.

We shall see................

Wonder if TWC still thinks the NFLN is a niche channel:

If they do, they are the only ones-- since every other major provider has added this popular channel.

iceturkee,

That is weird.

They should be up before the NHL season but if you count each of the new ones as a channel and the June 29 HD update, we have 24 delayed HD channels minus the two we get on October 11 (Infomas and GMC).

FS Ohio HD ironically was scheduled to launch exactly one year ago this day with 4 other FS RSN's (Detroit, Wisconsin, SportSouth, Prime Ticket). It still has not launched probably due to it still being a part-time channel. It's not likely we would get much more than the pre and post games as the current ones seem to show the same exact thing at the same time.

It would be great to get today's and September's updates so we can get them off the chart. A little information from Bright House here would really be nice.

i just checked again. since i have center ice, i went to channel 1815 which is now game channel 5. it use to be game channel 1. i'd say something is going on, just don't know what.

They probably are having technical difficulties with premium stuff.

HBO and Cinemax HD OD went up 5 and 8 days late.

When have we ever have basic (non-premium, Movie Pass, etc) channels not go up on time.

I'm confident InfoMas and GMC will go up as planned a week from Tuesday but we need answers here.

We have 24 (FMC HD, 5 HD Cinemax, 3 HD Showtime, Game 3-9 HD, Team 2-9 HD) outstanding HD channels. All of them are not Digital Basic so there is a technical problem with premium stuff and we need answers.

I wish BHN would do the right thing and give them to us. I'm contacting them today.
