The two new HD channels from The Movie Network are now offered in the majority of the areas where Cogeco Cable offers Digital
and HD Television in Ontario.

I'll phone tonight.

so James did you end up calling them? The two channels still have yet to show up on my two dvrs. It just goes from 762 to 765

Doug30 · 2009-12-07, 11:39 PM

I called yesterday, not available in Burlington and Oakville yet. The csr couldn't elaborate why not. Hopefully soon.

I was gonna phone but it slipped my mind. Strange that it's in other areas but not the main one (Halton).

This is an outrage!

I thought we Oakvillians and Burlingtonians were at the epicenter of Cogeco's universe.

james99 · 2009-12-08, 10:36 AM

In Ontario we are, hence the Ontario Head Office is in Burlington. Besides, Halton (I believe) is fully upgraded.

Since we are the main Cogeco area in Ontario and a 'majority' of areas in Ontario have access to these channels, something doesn't make sense.

Chatham area still do not have these channels and after looking at what HD channels Cogeco offers and what HD channels Chatham area actually gets, I am not holding my breath in getting them anytime soon

Anywhere I can phone or look online to see what Cogeco's plans are to fully upgrade the Chatham area in going completely digital. I am depressed seeing what channels Windsor actually gets (in HD) and the paltry sample of HD channels Chatham is currently getting (especially when the CSR I spoke to when signing up a couple of months ago stated Chatham was already completely digital).

any word yet on when burlington/oakville will be getting these new HD channels?

Any other new HD channels on the horizon?

bbailey861 · 2009-12-23, 09:53 AM

^Yes, I'd like to know if there are any other channels on the horizon as well. Somebody (if Cogeco is reading this) throw us a bone.
