Fall 2009 HD channel number changes I thought I had Sports 2 because I get the 4 Sportsnet feeds. However, I am still on the old Sports 1 which includes both TSN and Sportsnet. Thanks for the help.

Fall 2009 HD channel number changes It's in "Sports 2"
Fall 2009 HD channel number changes 1432 is still in my guide. I'm subscribed to HD Sports 1 and 2.
Fall 2009 HD channel number changes Has 1432 - CBS College Sports been removed? I'm not seeing it, even under All Channels. I don't see it in it's old location either. Or am I not subscribed to it. I never watched it but noticed not seeing it any more.
Fall 2009 HD channel number changes If my receiver can pull the guide listings down why can't Bell send out an update that automatically updates your timers. For that matter my box has an ethernet jack on it. I'd be more than happy to plug it into my router, submit my IP and have Bell push up an update.
Fall 2009 HD channel number changes ok ... moved all my timers and favourites over. whew! a) hope I didn't miss anything b) how do I tell my wife so she doesn't complain to me! hmm ... I don't think its possible.
Fall 2009 HD channel number changes It's lots of good information guys - thanks. Although I don't know what "descriptive video" is. Something to do with closed captioning maybe? I will reprogram the timers leaving both there. I did need to play around with the priorities and had to restore some that were dubbed duplicate. That being said, if the PVR is set to record from a 1000 series channel, and the channel disappears, would the 800 series kick in again after being marked SKIP DUPLICATE? It seems once the PVR marks something skipped, it stays that way regardless.
Fall 2009 HD channel number changes It does indeed seem unwise to change all your HD timers at this point, based only on the speculation/predictions found in this thread. However, the information on channel 887 and in the Guide's programming descriptions for the English-language networks is official, "in writing" information from Bell, which suggests that one should go ahead and update your timers for those, and only those, specific channels. It also makes sense to frequently check that those changed timers are working properly during this transition period, and let Bell know if they screw up. I personally haven't seen any of the officially-documented channels (i.e., the English-language networks) disappear from the 1000s since the phase 1 start date of Oct 14, but I only watch/record from a few of them, so I probably wouldn't have noticed. For what it's worth, my updated timers have been working properly since Wednesday, recording half a dozen shows from four of the channels in the 1000s. Granted, Bell could definitely improve its communication, in particular telling us when the moved channels will disappear from the 800s, and whether our PVR timers will be updated automatically (like TiVo timers are) or need to be manually re-done.
Fall 2009 HD channel number changes I know this thread is about HD changes, but I see Silver Screen Classics is on ch. 285 on the 91 bird and ch. 337 on the 82. Making some room on 82 soon I guess ?
Fall 2009 HD channel number changes If you look back a few months you'll find that they did attempt to do this earlier in the year and it failed miserably. I like that they've been attempting to phase in a few channels at a time over the last few weeks to make sure that its working property this time rather then dumping them all on at once like the last attempt and then promptly removing them due to a lot of issues. Most ppl knew it was comming, its nice that the corrisponding SD and HD channels will have similar numbers so that ppl can find them much easier.
