QAM Channel Maps - BAY AREA UNITE

[mets3145]

Hey, I wanted to get a gist of what everyone is getting in terms of the Clear QAM out in the SF-San Jose-Oakland Bay Area.

I've done the "search automatically" and each time I get a few discrepancies. For example, one time I did the search, I got 91-12, which is movieplex. Another time I did the search, I discovered I had NBA TV, but had to manually add movieplex.

I wanted to make a comprehensive list of what channels we are getting to try to get all the Clear QAM channels.

The link is from TitanTV. A big play, but it only provides digital channels up to 66.1:

Since TitanTV has everything up to channel 66.1, I'd like to focus on the digital channels after that.

Here is what I have from memory:

91-12 - movieplex (interesting note, my TV has this listed as 91-13)
102-1 - sometimes a movie is being shown, but blank when no movie is playing... odd. Is this a VOD channel? If so, where is it coming from?
103-1 - same as 102-1


Feel free to add to this list. I'll get the channel for NBATV and post it on here when I get back home.

Please help me create the end all of Clear QAM channels out here. The wiki link for Clear QAM is heavily lacking info.

I am using a WinTV 1800 from Hippauge
I live in Oakland
I have Comcast Digital Preffered Service with no Settop

WinTV Found 58 Channels
SageTV found 60 Channels
Vizio TV found 56 Channels

I need to map them all out and it will be very difficult becuase there are at least 7-8 Spanish Channels(good for my wife who is learning spanish), 6-8NBA On Demand Channels(useless), at least 5 KQED channels, Movieplex, HD and DT versions of CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, Other Locals.

So out of the 60 or so channels if I subtract off the on demand channels and duplicate DT channels maybe I get 10 channels worth watching.

You can get a no cost DT convertor box and if you have preffered digital then you can pick up at least 7 more digital movie channels but the box does not provide any HD so it would be your analog source. The other movie channels must be digitally encrypted.

I will get a list of frequencies from WinTV and Sage Tonight and maybe from my TV also.

Please note that I had to add an amplifier at my cable outlet to get all these channels and for the WINTV QAM to work.

I have digital preffered becuase I did the phone, internet, cable triple play. They would not give me the Basic Digital for the triple play package.

When my plan expires this summer I down grade my cable service.

Yeah, outside of the HD broadcasts of the local channels (Fox, CBS, etc.), I only found NBA TV and movieplex to be useful.

I wonder what 102-1 and 103-1 are...

Try those channels out OldPC, and tell me what you get.
