Universal HD on TWC gone?

[RonH]

I noticed tonight Universal HD on 532 is totally missing, it has even been removed from the channel list on my TV (cablecard).

Am I the only one that is not able to see this channel anymore?

I am able to see it and I can see what is on it as well.  I've got TWC with 8300 HD box.

I still have it with my STB.

For the GBay TWC HDTV line up......

     It appears that UNIVERSAL HD has moved from a HD Freebe

   (like the HD locals) to the HD Theather group like INHD & ESPN-HD

   where you must pay $7/mo. to get that Theater HD group.

  In effect UNIVERSAL HD is a 'replacement' for INHD2.

  Here we in GBay we have just lost TWC PBS-HD, INHD2, & must

  now pay the piper for UNIVERSAL.  Way back, Universal was the NBC

  Olympics version of HD.....

  All I need from TWC is ESPN2-HD to get the NASCAR Busch races in HD.

Same in Milwaukee.  I've only had an HD cable box for a couple months (I had previously split my coax to just receive "free" locals via tuner and regular cable through my box) but Universal HD has never been a freebie for me.  Since the announcement of Battlestar airing there, I've contemplated paying the $7/month but haven't broken down yet.  PBS is still free here in Milwaukee (as is TNT HD and Discovery Theatre HD).
