    Anything new with Versus?

    I called today to see if I could verify that it was coming back in March. The CSR said that Comcast owns VS and it was not coming back and since I already have the sports pack, she gave me 3 months of the Starz superpack which still doesn't make up for no WEC but it helps.

    That is strange, I got all the games. Last week I noticed only a couple of games but I use a custom list and I edited it to add the channels I was missing. I believe that for HD you should have 701-1 to about 717-1.

    The analog shutdown party thread

    Will the digital signals from the stations become more powerful once they shut off the analog transmissions? I have a couple stations that only come in when it's overcast and was hoping that the stations would put more into the digital signals once the analog is shut down.
