The new quick start guide does have one useful feature...under what's on, there's a free preview option which gives the list of free preview channels and hitting info gives the dates. It's actually quite useful.

I've only been with Rogers for a month, so this may not be new...

The AUX TV preview seems to have ended.

I sent an email to Rogers this morning to see how one would order it, because I can't seem to find it on the channel ordering section of their site, but does anyone here know? I'm hoping it's not part of VIP, I have Digital Basic now and I don't need to pay $30 extra for 1 channel.

Anyone having an issue with RDS HD and SD free preview? I get the "Not Authorized" message when I try to watch them, however I do get to see the channel on the Olympics Quickstart TV Mix page, I just cannot go to the full screen of the channel...

I am also a new rogers cable customer, currently on a free 3 month preview of Digital VIP service. The free preview option under the quick start guide is incomplete, it doesn't show all of the free previews available so whats the point of having it there? frustrating!

I just discovered the 819 LS TIMES (chinese) free preview. Also a bit late, but a lot of the chinese channels have been free preview. Not sure how long they have been available but I see they expire today....Again, a bit of notice would be nice, is there a better way to find these free previews other than continually searching all the channels in the lineup?
