QAM channels for Time Warner Cable Cary (Raleigh, Durham: lease, live)

[DGMayor]

This isn't a full list by any means, but via QAM I get the following:

UNC-TV PBS HD and subs 4.1-4.5
WRAL CBS HD - 5.1 and sub (5.2)
WGN America SD - 12
News 14 Carolina SD - 14
WNCN NBC HD - 17.1 and sub (17.2)
My RDU HD - 28.1 and sub (28.2)
One of the spanish stations in HD (Univision I think) 40.1
Ion HD? - 47 (Could be a different station now, I don't watch it so not sure).
WRAZ Fox HD - 50.1 and it's sub (50.2)


Back in March or April, they moved WTVD ABC HD behind the filter range, so I haven't had ABC most the year which I didn't think they were allowed to do.

Thanks DG. I am going to setup my new tuner on my PC tomorrow and play around with this and let you know what I get.

[DGMayor]

Sorry I just realized that many of those channel #'s are what I mapped them to.

WTVD was 1111
CW is 1122
MyRDU is 1128
Ion? is/was 1147.
MeTV is 1151

that's with my HDHomerun.

I seem to have just lost 17.1 and 17.2

Can anyone else confirm?


Also unrelated to the issue above, I noticed that one of my TVs can get "MeTV" (I forget the channel number), but the other one can't. Are there QAM tuners with different capabilities?

[DGMayor]

They changed again last week.

NBC and Fox both moved on me. Still don't have ABC though.

I believe these are correct. I'm at work so I can't check until this evening.

WNCN is now QAM256 120.2
WRAZ is now QAM256 121.5

Someone needs to put up a shared Google Docs spreadsheet with all the channels on it that people can update whenever the channels change.

It would be useful to have format info as well... 1080i/p, 720i/p, 480i/p

Yeah, I was hoping that ABC would be moved into range when I noticed NBC & Fox shifted and needed a rescan. Oh well. And it's not like any amount of complaining to TWC would help, as it would be almost impossible to find someone who would understand the situation.

I believe the attitude of TWC is: they can juggle the lineup whenever and wherever they want, and your only recourse is to rescan -- or rent a STB from them.

It would be helpful for those of us who despise STBs to have an accurate index of the QAM channels.

I am in Charlotte. Does anyone know where Fox HD went? I think it is WCCB. I hope I can find it before NFL starts

Also, TWC sent me two digital adapters for free (I am paying for their "broadcast TV" package). Do you think I have to use the adapters now since I can't seem to find Fox or ABC in HD?

Thanks.

I live in Cary (27511) and I re-scanned the available Time Warner "broadcast cable" channels on my TV a few weeks ago and I just got around to weeding out all the duplicate lower resolution and non-digital channels as well as the home shopping and Spanish language channels. This is the list of what I have left. Note that I can't figure out what 120-8 is. I watched it for a little while, but I didn't see a station identification. If you know what it is, let me know.
