NBC HD (ch.712 WMTV) on TWC?

[kjnorman]

I was just browsing the listings guide on the TW website, and noticed that channel 712 WMTV contains the same listings as WTMJ.

The guide shows Tonight with Jay Leno as being HDTV, but then it also does for channel 4, which it clearly is not.  It does not state that Crossing Jorden is in HDTV.

Can anyone confirm that 712 is the madison HD version of NBC (WMTV-DT)?  Or, more likely is it just the standard definition version broadcast in digital?

I will check tonight to see if I can get Leno in HiDef, but at the moment I am not holding my breath, as I do not recall anyone here saying that NBC HDTV is on TWC.

Channel 712 has always been a PBS station on my TWC boxes.  I'm not sure why the listing shows NBC since it's never been the case, at least not for me.

I thought 712 was one of the PBS channels, that is why I was surprised to find NBC listed.

Its probably the same error, that shows HBO HD and Showtime HD on 731 and 721 respectively on my digi box guide, the TWC guide, the Tivo guide and all other guides IO have found, when infact on my 3100HD box, HBO HD is on 721 and showtime is on 731 (ie reversed).

Shame, but I will still double check tonight when I get home...

That must be a typo in the listing.  Probably WMVT, not WMTV.  If it IS WMTV, I'd love to know about it!

I checked this morning and alas it is WMVT and not WMTV.  Yep, unfortunately its a typo.  My digi box shows it as PBS.

So, the TWC listing guide on line is wrong.

Quality of service!  That's what I like to see
