It should be noted at least on TCM HD(not sure about AMC HD) that certain movies have been blacked out due to copy right issues, but the SD version shows the movie so not sure what "really" going on, wasn't aware there where SD & HD Copy rights? . This also happens on Rogers Cable so its not a BTV "thing"

ummmm, maybe I'm missing something but the entire 1562-1586 (news and learning HD range) is still blank for me.

I phoned BELL TV just now and they said they haven't added CNN HD and they had no record of it being on 1578. So where are you guys watching it? lol

I do see they extended the News and Learning range from 1578 to 1586, so something must be in the works, but as far as CNN HD... I don't receive it and BELL says they don't offer it.

thelist shows it active

It may be "active" or "in testing", but it's not available to subscribers yet. I'm just confused with people saying things like "Wolf's beard looks great in HD". It couldn't have been BELL TV they were watching that on.

Anyways, hopefully it's in the near future for the public.

If you have News and Learing #1 you will have it. I would not have posted it if it wasn't available. It has been available since the end of December when the thread was started.

thelist comes directly from the Bell stream so if a channel on thelist says available, you can bet your behind it IS available to subscribers

same with Dish.

Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised then that a BELL programming rep said it wasn't available, even when I gave him the exact channel number!

Two hours later I got a different agent, he said it is available, but like you said, N & L is a prerequisite for $8. I already get TLC HD, Discovery HD, so why would a customer pay $8 just for CNN. They really need to re-organize their theme packs. If you get the channel in SD you should get it in HD. There shouldn't even be HD theme packs in my opinion. Or else at the very least have a "per channel" charge of $2 or $3/month.

Bell's support is a shame if they don't even know what channels they are broadcasting.

Although I no longer have BTV?


Question?

When these channels appear does your location have anythingh to do with it?

I know those in Canada who have BTV and have HD those channels have appeared in the guide. Now grant you I don't live in the states so I'm not sure how the signal effects those in the South with channels appearing or not?
