TWC QAM channel listing?

[afa3]

Is there a TWC QAM channel listing somewhere? Sorry if I overlooked it, but I've searched and found nothing yet.

I've got a Samsung R4232 ED plasma with NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuners hooked up to basic cable (analog). I'm in Muskego.

I'm getting some digital channels, but not all that I think I should. In particular, I'm missing WTMJ (504?). Could someone clue me in as to where this should be on QAM?

The R4232 finds 300+ digital channels, most empty/scrambled and I've been through them a couple of times. Some digital channels it automatically remaps to 0-5xx channel numbers, which is handy, but no sign of WTMJ that I can find. WDJT 505 was slow to pop up too, I'm not sure what I did (if anything) to make it appear as 0-505.

For reference, here's what I have found:

109 WDJT HD CBS 58 (shown as 0-505)
103 WITI DT Fox 6 (shown as 0-506)
116 MPTV HD (shown as 0-510)
WISN DT ABC 12 (shown as 0-512)

also 0-550, 552, 553, all MPTV SD variants, don't know the QAM channels yet

  90-40 NBC SD only (WTMJ I assume)
  91-60 Fox SD only (WITI I assume)
106-10 WDJT CBS58 SD only
111-7   MPTV SD only

If anyone's curious, here are my comments on the R4232 (scroll down) Short version: it's going back for a 42PD50, DNIe is not your friend.

Thanks for any pointers.

The channel numbers will vary by tuner. 4 is there as well if you rescan Both SD and HD versions are there and each comes before 6's version. There's also a bunch of promo channels.

I can get all of those, NBC HD half of the time, TWC digital one, and iControl premium preview stations.  I forgot the number for NBC HD though since I got a box.  Anyways I'd rather get things OTA since there are more stations.  Scanning the QAM channels takes about 10-15 minutes on my TV.. not worth it when OTA takes a minute or less.

Here's an update, in case anyone else is using TWC analog cable and QAM.

I exchanged the Samsung for a Panasonic 42PD50U, which also has a built in ATSC/QAM tuner. It works a bit better on the QAM channels, but there are a couple that are still flaky.

For the most part, the channels are the same as I saw with the Samsung.

The Panasonic will also get WTMJ HD, but it's not handled as well as the other digital channels. It's not shown as 0-504 (which I assume it should be). I can tune it as channel 103, but not as 0-504. I believe I eventually found this on the Samsung as well, but again not where you would expect it.

The Panasonic also sort-of gets WMLW HD as 0-507. It's not labeled that way, but I can tune it as 0-507 or 109. I've only seen SD here, so I don't know if that's the real WMLM HD or an SD-only variant.

Are there any issues with WTMJ HD and WMLW HD over-the-air? I'm wondering if this is a issue with the broadcasters' signals, or with TWC's QAM encoding.

They're both botched up somewhere. The fact that two different sets have similar issues with these two stations suggests it's the source signals or QAM encoding that's the problem, not the sets.

When I purchased my Samsung T-451 for GBay OTA use, I spent

 about 3 hours messing with the TWC QAM option.  I found the

 T-451/TWC scans in Std, Incremental, & Harmonic modes to be

 very slow and incomplete as the T-451 found only 7 or 8 SD

 QAM digital channels...    They were all between QAM channels

 81-0 thru 124-20.   I found no QAM HD 'programming'.....

 My guess is that a modern Cable TV Company is running higher

 frequency channels like:  QAM Chans 125 thru Chan 160 plus

 which the T-451 does not scan...?

I did a messy Samsung T-451 QAM Cable scan for TWC Green Bay..

    I used the Cable Standard Frequency selection.

  My incomplete results show Digital major unencrypted networks:

    PBS-HD    QAM 110.1
    PBS-SD    QAM  110.2 (2nd Program)
    CBS-HD    QAM  110.3
    ABC-HD    QAM  112.1
    NBC-HD    QAM  112.2
    ABC-SD    QAM   112.3 (Weather)

    FOX-HD    QAM  (not available now, but LIN Comm is buying station)

   I find these Digital QAM Channal ID's of value........
        since QAM tuners are in many new HD sets
        and a Cable Co RG-6 cable from wall to HDTV RF Cable Port
         gets both Pic & Sound..   in superb HD.....

     Ya, but with no TV Guide...   Using this kluge is tricky for newbies.
