Trucker,

Here's a little more info I posted about this a few weeks ago:

It sounds like Bravo will definitely still be around on 4dtv. My guess is we'll still have access to CNBC and MSNBC one way or another. If I'm not mistaken, they're both FTA anyway.

Bravo east and west have been mapped already on 4dtv.

Just noticed I was a little misleading earlier. When I said CNBC and MSNBC are FTA I wasn't referring to the analog feeds, but the mpeg2 dvb feeds that have been around for a good while now.

These channels are now in the maps:
CNBC=G9 500

MSNB=G9 501

WPIX=G9 510

TVLand=G9 620

This is good news. I've just unplugged my 920 to map them and they come in great except 510 WPIX. I hope this isn't going to be a 922 vs. 920 issue channel. Now I'm re-downloading the program guide, which was lost when I unplugged the 4dtv for the maps.
