Tomorrow we get the new TWC Lakers Channels (SportsNet and Deportes).

I doubt we get BBC World News with it. I'm expecting that at the end of the month.

Well, my SA HD8300 finally quit recording altogether. I will have to go by the Avalon office to pick up a new one. Is there one you guys recommend?

Cisco 8742HDC

It's fast and I love it.

hopefully they have one for me! Thanks HD.

Maya,

Not a problem.

Yes it is but the 4x3 GUI is an eyesore....I hope they get an update to make it 16x9 like the samsungs.

Over the other forum, Gary says there are plans to realign our SD Lineup.

Birmingham and Indianapolis are getting theirs done tonight along with their HD lineup which we had done two years ago.

Even though I do not visit the SD area much, this is something that is needed.

The TWC SportsNet Channels are up a few hours early.

TWC SportsNet National SD/HD 204/1134 (Sports Pass)
TWC Deportes National SD/HD 927/1913 (Nuestros Canales)

Were now at 214 HD Channels although 1139 Sports Pass OD has very little HD content and there are some channels in the SD area of the On Demand section that have some HD. I'm going to ask Gary about this. Right now, not sure how I will count the OF channels going forward.

It's all Laker talk, all the time on that TWCSN channel - which is fun right now watching them make excuses for their crappy team. Unfortunately theyll get better:mad:

I wonder if Dwight is happy now?

On another note, next year G4 will become The Esquire Channel, for all your 'metrosexual' (their description, not mine) needs like shopping, cooking, etc.

LOL! Quite the change, from a gamer/geek channel to a "metro" channel.

I have to say TWC put together a nice RSN and it looks better than the Fox Sports ones.

I do wish The Magic had a channel like this although the interest would not be there. The Lakers will get better unfortunately but it's nice to sit back and laugh for now.

That is a terrible re-brand of G4 and it's not going to work. Discovery already tried going after upscale males with Velocity and that has not worked out too well. If this what the big companies want to do with re-brands, this is where the herd can be thined.

I'll miss Campus PD and The Cops re-runs.

BBC World News HD is not in the guide but up if you punch in 1222, you can get it.

The move of BBC America SD to channel 75 and putting BBC World News SD in it's place on 153 has not happened yet.

Were now at 215 HD Channels.

Hubby did me the favor of exchanging the DVR for a new one. He came back with a Samsung SMT-H3272. Does anyone have one of these? It looks like you can put an external HD on it via E-SATA. Before I get too excited... does an external HD work on those?

I looked at the SD On Demand in the 300's and found HD On Demand content in those sections.

305: Cutting Edge On Demand- G4 and Spike
310: Kids On Demand- Nickelodeon
312: Sports & Fitness On Demand- NFL Network
321 Free Movies- Yule Log Content
325 Entertainment On Demand- BET, Comedy Central, MTV, VH1

I wonder why some of this stuff is not on HD Showcase On Demand.

I count Sports Pass On Demand 1139 which is a mirror on 337 with the same limited HD content as an HD content. Maybe I need to count On Demand HD differently.

The re-branding of G4 is going to be awful, that I agree with. Velocity just plain sucks and that was a huge failure so I don't have high hopes for this switch. I do hope we get Military in HD soon though as I love that kind of stuff.

That was the original idea behind the Samsungs, but as of yet, I don't know that BHN has enabled SATA ports on anything. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I deal with MI and Tampa BHN, mostly.

I wonder when bright house will start to issue DTA's? Time Warner Cable is now accepting orders for them in most of Texas and has already launched them in NC, SC, NY, ME, NH.

The Magic does need it's own channel but won't happen intill Orlando gets NFL/NHL/MLB/MLS and WNBA back.

Last night while I was channel surfing around 8:30 I ran across the Smithsonian channel which has always been blacked out as it was a pay channel. Has this been changed?

I just tried it and it's still blocked for me.

That unit is only available to folks who have WHDVR service. We do have other models which will be just fine.

I cannot get Smithsonian Channel.

Gary: Too bad as it's a great box.

BBC World News HD is now in the guide on channel 1222

BBC America SD is now on channel 75
BBC World News SD is now on channel 153

We now officially have no pending HD.

I do sense we will have SD realignment soon and maybe moving of some HD On Demand.

I might just start counting On Demand differently.

Fox on the AVS Chart thread has found out that not only Military Channel went HD but Military History Channel is now also in HD.

Since BHN/TWC has both SD channels and neither is on a month to month deal, both are strong possibilities and would expect to them by the end of the second quarter. If both are added, do not be surprised if The Pentagon Channel HD is added with them as part of a Military update.

Unfortunately, this could delay Sundance HD which I would hardly watch but would like to have in my HD section. However, I would also like those two military channels in my HD section too.

http://www.tvpredictions.com/twcla121412.htm maybe MLB Strike in HD to BHN.

We already have those in HD

seems that BBC World News SD should be wide on Time Warner Cable and Bright House while BBC World News HD should wide on Bright House and limited on Time Warner Cable. My system launched BBC World News this morning on channel 209 which is nice and it is 720x480i so it has more pixels for a SD channel

Kevin,

It appears that way Kevin.

The HD version looks stretched or upconverted.

here is more info on the deal.

seems not everyone is getting BBC World News probably only SDV areas once again as with most adds these days. Oh and the 750MHz system near me got BBC World News so it seems that TWC is starting to add everything we get that is not apart of the sports tier to that system as well as they also got RLTV.
