Comcast QAM San Jose Channel Shifting

[whurlston]

So it sounds like everyone has given up on clear QAM... anyone want to buy some slightly used 950Q's??

I never said that. I still use Clear QAM daily but 99% of my viewing is local channels. Also, people don't realize that although they are losing their additional Clear QAM channels, they were lucky to ever receive them in the first place. The majority of cable companies have always only had the locals in Clear QAM. Comcast was one of the few companies that offered more. I've never been able to receive more than my locals and a couple of shopping channels in Clear QAM. Only recently has my cable company begun broadcasting other basic channel in Clear QAM so now I also get Weather and a couple of news channels in addition to my locals. You think you are losing but welcome to the world in which the rest of us have always lived.

I will still be keeping ALL my QAM tuners although I may reallocate two of them to OTA so I can get a couple of channels that are not on my cable provider. The OCUR tuner will basically replace my analog tuners, not my QAM tuners.

OK , I guess I'm just whining. I've only used clear QAM for 2 months. I've only ever had HD local channels. Never any "extended basic". Never expected anything for free.

My beef is that Comcast changes the channel mapping every 1-2 weeks. I wish I had known about this beforehand. Sort of renders everything a bit useless. I'm surprised forum members haven't complained a bit more vociferously.

Cheers,

I have been lucky on that front. My provider doesn't change channels around very often. I do feel for those of you who have to deal with that.

I'm planning on getting the Silicondust tuner and programming a GBPVR<->MC bridge so that recordings can be scheduled from GBPVR and all unprotected recordings will be able to be played from GBPVR.

That would be super whurlston...thanks for your efforts and good luck!!
