Well that just totally sucks . What irks me even more are the folks who are bad-mouthing the channel without even seeing what it has to offer. I think they blew it with this one.

Nayan,

I think they wanted to drop their channel altogether and perhaps the ratings clause prevented it. However, a sale might have done the trick.

It's possible the channel could come back but TWC is playing hardball with the Indys.

Nayan,

Here's some news that you might like

TWC is considering the channel and has a deal to launch the other one if they choose too.

Oh awesome! Thank you for posting that and I do hope they add it.

This is a question for Gary.

Has Brighthouse discontinued the bundle for whole home dvr, home phone and Road Runner lightning?

Thank you.

Pam

Never mind. Another customer service rep was able to set it up. The first said that bundle doesn't exist.

Unimas has been added to Orlando WOFT

mgsports,

I believe this is an OTA thing.

Actually it is the rebranding of Telefutura nationwide. Univision has rolled out a newer logo as well as Galavision which are all owned by Univision tommorow is supposed to be the switch date to unimas but I looked at the schedule and nothing is changing but the name same programming as Telefutura just a brand refresh.

some cable systems carry the national feed of Univsion, Telefutura and Telemundo where those channels don't have a presence.

Kevin,

Ahh, I did not know this.

mgsports,

Do you know where I can find a list of all Orlando OTA Channels?

I need for my sister who just dropped cable.

Thanks!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_stations_in_Florida

When you click on one of the Orlando stations, scroll all the way down to Broadcast television in East Central Florida and the Space Coast, including Orlando, Daytona Beach and Melbourne & click on the "show" link, & it should list ALL of them...

Guys,

I actually found a complete list.

LOL!

But let's get this back on topic.

Thank you for the help.

On that List HD, UCF is missing. They have 3 sub-channels. Head into the 400's on your box (around 460) and most all of those channels except Antenna TV is what you can get OTA.

Keeping on track (kinda), TWC has launched a TV app for Roku:

I sure would like to have this for BH!

Nayan,

I did realize that was missing. I bet we eventually get that for BHN.

Also VOD will be available on the ROKU as well because TWC is upgrading the App to allow you to view the VOD content! Right now only IOS devices can see the VOD content Desktops/Laptops and Android devices and the Roku device should see it sometime this year.

Kevin that would be awesome! I'd buy Roku's for all my TV's then .

I'm at my wits end with the BH HD-DVR. I've replaced it several times; I can't seem to find one that works consistently well. Normally my issue has been degradation of the performance of the box as time goes on after a reboot, but last night a show didn't record. The show (Biggest Loser - I know; wife likes it) was scheduled to record starting at 9:00. It was marked record (red) in the guide up until we went and tried to watch about 20 minutes in and then it wasn't recording nor was the guide indicator red anymore. There was a conflict at 10:01, but that show (The Mentalist) was the lower priority item and therefore would not record (and it was still marked that way even after the BL wasn't red anymore).

Anyone seen anything like this recently? Anything that needs to be done on my part to avoid this or is this just a continuation of poor software that seems to consistently be released?

As much as I don't want to leave BH due to the packages including Lightning, I'm getting closer and closer to trying something else.

Best advice I can give is too clear all conflicts manually before the record time. Expecting Navigator to do what the Guide says it's going to do is just not reliable. I've had similar stupid recording moments like Show A & B set to record while Show C is set not to record. Check back later and.... you guessed it, Show C recorded and Show A & B are nowhere to be found. So if a show is set to not record. Manually cancel it or resolve conflict to be safe. That's the kind of babysitting Navigator still needs.

Also, for generally stability and less channel not available missing recordings, reboot the box via the maintenance screen every 1 to 2 weeks.

This is what I do with my Cisco 8742.

I have thought similarly (deleting conflicts), but didn't do that yesterday. Shame on me; or actually shame on BH for having such pathetic software for logic that a second year computer science student should be able to design (this is my senior software engineering wife's comment).

I do reboot often, but usually it's in a state of frustration and yanking the power cord from the back of the box!

The last BH Tech at my house said we could thank Time Warner for the outstanding software. He also said they push new software every 6 months. Don't know how true it is. I'm also in the software business.

Had this problem occur with some regularity a few weeks ago which got progressively worse until the box wouldn't record at all (Samsung WHDVR). Replaced the box and the issue has vanished and the box is much more responsive.

Everyone,

Here is further prove that Chiller HD is indeed available. I found this on dbstalk

Go to the Chiller website

http://www.chillertv.com/getchiller/

Enter 99156 as the Zip Code and Concept Communications Corp as the provider on the pulldown.

You get.........

Exciting News!
Chiller is available in your area on Concept Communications Corp Channel 241 and 149(HD).

If you don't currently subscribe to Concept Communications Corp and would like to get Chiller, call Concept Communications Corp directly or visit their website today.
I'd like to receive email updates from Chiller.

I anxiously want BHN to add this and hope getting it is not tied to new deals for E!, Style and Sprout (we only have OD Feed)

We get our next notice in three weeks.

HDOrlando,

Concept's HD lineup is crap! Only about 30 HD channels! If Concept was to have this new and rare HD channel, their HD lineup should be through the roof!

Forhire,

I agree!

Nice to see you around here. Feel free to pop in on this thread to discuss HD.

Thanks HDOrlando!

I do check often here now often to check out the latest on the/your big HD lineup after I found the llink on AVS FORUM. Don't feel so bad for losing Ovation and Current TV. My Cablevision system does not and never carried either one. But you know what? Centurylink carries both Ovation HD and Current TV. No TV provider will ever be perfect unless they carry every network/HD/3D channel launched in the U.S.A.

Forhire,

I am not bummed at all about losing either channel although some are.

If Current was in my HD section, I'd still watch some documentaries. That channel had so much potential until they started adding shows just to add them.

We get our notices at the end of the month and expect some HD goodies.

BTW: Check your private messages sometimes.

Nothing new in TWCKC Notice only that a merging On Demand Channel and still about those Sports HD Channels.

Well, I've finally resolved to replace my 8300 HD (non-Cablecard) DVR, as I've been having too many issues with OnDemand content not running or stopping after a few minutes. Open to suggestions as to what I should ask for replacement-wise.
