    Do the Discovery Suite channels on W5 end on 1 June, or 30 June?

    Sorry, I had the impression you worked for SRL and might know. Direct is way too high!!!! and I'm on a fixed income [zero - job went to Mexico], and 'rely on the kindness of strangers'. Cable is not available way out here. Matter of fact, we are so deep in the holler, they have to pump...

    Do the Discovery Suite channels on W5 end on 1 June, or 30 June?

    I called and they couldn't guarantee me anything one way or the other. I hate paying the higher monthly rate, but I'm not taking any chances because without the Discovery Suite channels, I will finally be forced to go with [gag] Charlie.

    For those with faulty X4, why doesn't Comcast rename sat tile to D4 so we can upload it?

    I know how large organizations have a need for complexity, but for those of us [4809'ers] with faulty X4 maps with music in 800's, why not rename or add a duplicate sat tile on the 4160 EMM of D4? Exact same mapping parameters as the correct X4, but with a different tile name, the 905/920/922...

    4DTV'ers will still be able to get .... Online: WealthTV will “net-cast” (OTT) via Roku ... the 1st

    4DTV'ers will still be able to get.... Online: WealthTV will “net-cast” (OTT) via Roku ... the 1st cable net to do so. This is great news that came out of a rumor several months ago. One of the channels that I watch a lot which was going down with the 4DTV ship was Wealth. Of course it means...

    OK I'll be the scapegoat, need help with my 4DTV and X4

    Next month I also want to convert to 4160. My channel count on opt. 6,5 is the dreaded 4809. Well I have a usable X4 except the music is in the 820-856 range. When you press the RC 'Sat' button, the dreaded AI also appears, but AI is not in the Opt. 6,4,4 list of avail. sats. I tried several...

    Final Conversion Instructions for all models at 4DTV Online

    I'm not converting until next month, but am avidly reading all this HUGE amt. of information. My Early G.I. 922 has a ch. count of 4809. I have both W5, and to the right X4. 216 is 'Style' on both of them. Matter of fact they are almost identical except there is no music on W5 and the full music...

    Danger 4096 found turned back on.

    Well, I've been on C4 overnight and this AM [01-08-2011], ans then G1 for about 15 mins, then C3 for a couple hrs, then GO for a couple hours and my 4096 EMM trip counter still reads Zero [0]. But I could have sworn my channel count has changed. It is now 4809. Unfortunately I failed to write...

    Final Conversion Instructions for all models at 4DTV Online

    Well, I've read a whole lot on 4 different forums and here is my speculation to add to the fire!! 1. As many of you know, the Early G.I. branded 922's have acted differently with regard to some procedures than later ones. Maybe that's part of the issue. 2. And I've read much talk about which...

    Guide for Non-Converters is still up and running

    But the whole truth is if you convert, you lose access to the 'U' channels, and I have my guide active out to June, 2011 So like I said, this if for the Non-Convert crowd that still need some form of guide.
