Sat night's MSNBC (1588) always plays 'Lockup' that reality prison show, went to the channel tonight to tune in and it doesn't seem to exist. And I swear earlier in the week I had checked ahead to see what time the new episode was on and it was showing in the guide like normal. Now it's not in the HD menu or all channels menu. Don't tell me this is gone now, a week after HDnet is gone. Or does this just happen at times to channels?

Do you subscribe to the News and Learning 2 theme pack? According to David1953, MSNBC HD shows up when you subscribe that. I have News and Learning 2 and MSNBC HD shows up in the EPG.

 

[ClaytonG]

no I don't think I have news and learning 2, but long as I can remember MSNBC HD has been since I had Bell. The channel also is not showing up in my guide when I choose 'all channels' or 'all HD'. If it's a channel I could have, it should still show up in red! I don't know what is happening

The channel was on free preview until Dec 7. Now the free preview is over. If you don't subscribe to news and learning 2 you don't get the channel. Also, not all channels show up in the guide if you don't subscribe to them. MSNBC HD would be one of those channels. If you don't subscribe to Spike SD, it won't show up either.

hmm I do have Spike SD though, I am on 628 right now!

Then it would show in your guide. It was an example, for those that don't subscribe to it, it won't show in their guide. Some channels on Bell do not show up in the guide if you don't subscribe to it. MSNBC HD is one of them. Just like any of the movie channels in HD, if you don't subscribe to the movie package you won't see them, or any of the other superstation HD channels.
