Rogers has launched 5 new channels:

--> Channel 115 - ROD1 (HD)
--> Channel 203 - ROD2 (HD)
--> Channel 320 - ROD3 (HD)
--> Channel 330 - ROD4 (HD)
--> Channel 428 - ROD5 (HD)

ROD1 was added October 30, 2016, and ROD2 - ROD5 were added November 1, 2016.

Notes:
- The channels are available in Brampton and Toronto - they may not be available in other markets.
- The channels have IPG data (same as other channels).

- Selecting these channels pops up a window with options: Order, Preview, Cancel.
-- These channels are 'pointers' that redirect to ROD content, and are not standard linear TV channels.

I suspect Rogers will announce them at this link when they launch in more markets.
