TWC: Important Info For Those Without Digital Boxes Using Cable Cards

[Jack 1000]

Just a heads up from TWC-Milwaukee that on or after June 16, 2011, those with TWC using cable cards and tuning adaptors may need to do a channel scan update on their TV's according to the website:

Time Warner Cable's agreements with programmers to carry their services routinely expire.  We are usually able to obtain renewals or extensions of such agreements, and carriage of programming services is discontinued only in rare circumstances. The following agreements with programmers are due to expire soon, and we may be required to cease carriage of one or more of these services in the near future:  TEN, Current TV, American Life, BBC America, BBC America HD, E!, E!HD, Encore channels including Action, Drama, Love, Mystery, WAM, Westerns and Encore HD, Fuse, Fuse HD, Golf, Golf HD, Sprout,  Retroplex, Starz! channels including Cinema, Edge, In Black, Kids& Family, HD and On Demand, Style, Style HD,  TruTV, Weather Channel, Weather Channel HD, WBAY, WLUK, CMT, CMT HD, Ovation.
 
In addition, from time to time we make certain changes in the services that we offer in order to better serve our customers. The following changes are planned: On or about 6/16, Time Warner Cable will be making technical changes to our cable system that may disrupt your ability to view the following unencrypted ("in-the-clear") channels on a digital television or other device that includes a QAM tuner (a "ClearQAM device"): WVTV HD, WTMJ, WITI, WCGV HD.  If this occurs, you will need to go into the settings menu on your ClearQAM device and perform a new channel scan in order to resume viewing these channels. Customers using digital cable set-top boxes will not notice any change. On or after 6/28, Gem Shopping Network, Shop Zeal 1, Shop Zeal 2 and Shop Zeal 5 will be in the Standard package in digital format only. Shop Zeal 2 will move from channel 186 to 192, and Shop Zeal 5 will move from 190 to 195. On 7/12, BBC America On Demand will no longer be on channel 431, this content will move to channel 402,  Exercise TV On Demand will no longer be on channel 426, this content will move to channel 413. At that time, Sports On Demand will become Sports & Fitness On Demand.
 

The new services listed below cannot be accessed on CableCARD-equipped Unidirectional Digital Cable Products purchased at retail without additional, two-way capable equipment: Lifetime HD, truTV HD, C&I HD, DIY HD, Cooking Channel HD, NatGeo Wild HD, Fox Soccer Plus HD, ESPN 3D, ESPN Goal Line SD.
 

Finally, we are currently involved in discussions regarding the services and/or stations listed below.  While we cannot guarantee that we will reach agreement with the relevant programmers and/or broadcasters, we are listing these services/ stations here in the event that we are able to start carrying them in the future: ESPN 3D
