Who here has Comcast? Did you lose any channels recently?

[z1ggy]

I noticed I have lost channels 200-241. I called them and they said they basically bumped all the channels up 41 spaces and that I have lost nothing. However, when I went to the channels like espn in HD, etc etc to watch college football, it said I did not have the proper subscription. Did Comcast just bone me and now wants me to sign up for some new package to leech more money out of my pockets or did they lose HD contracts or something? ABC in NON HD (channel like... 9 or something for me) worked just fine to watch the Ohio St. game, but it wasn't in HD.

Fuck you very much Comcast.

Nope, my channel lineup is still the same.

Mine appears to be the same but over the last week I've been getting weird lockups, sound dropping and pixelation on certain channels.

unplug your box from power
let it sit at least 2 minutes
plug it back in

if ESPN HD is still gone, call in and have the automated system send a refresh signal to your boxes


I just saved you 20 minutes on the phone

The channels all moved to the 800s, you should have gotten a letter a bit ago, I had the same issue, went through my old mail and saw it.

IIRC the Sun is causing that stuff.

Sun spots cause freezing and tiling for a few minutes each day around 2:30pm. That window is closed for now until spring

Like HD sports? Yankees used to be on YES channel 201 for me, but now it's totally missing. Same with ABC and NBC and all those in HD. The comcast customer service is utterly useless, it's like they hire people with shit for brains.
