Rogers NB Does NOT Offer ShoHD and NatGeoHD - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

So.. I haven't seen these channels show up in my guide in the last 24 hours.. nor have I seen the long awaited WGN-HD channel either.

In Ontario these have been showing up for almost 24 hours... is this another case of our 750 MHz system not being able to support anymore HD channels?

I suspect that's the case eh? No MPIX-HD, and now these.

Oh well.. I'll just have to make due with TCM for the holidays!

Are you serious!!!

I was looking very forward to expanding my firewire HD recording repetoir.

Well.. they were not in my guide this morning when I left the house.

Certainly I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that the excuse we were given over MPIX-HD was capacity (Dan - do you remember for sure?)

This is starting to bother me. It's not like the rest of the country doesn't already treat the Maritimes as a 2nd class citizen.
One would think Rogers would be smart enough to swap the redundant ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox HD stations for the unique stations we aren't getting in HD already if bandwidth was the true problem. Maybe we should send them a petition?

Kexo:

Sorry .. I won't swap my west coast feeds.

I need those until Rogers offers us a dual tuning PVR in the maritimes (something else we don't have).

They are working on upgrading our networking to match Ontario's capacity.. but I think we're still a ways off from that being complete.
