Scifi channel problem in SF Bay Area

Recently started having a problem with Sci-Fi channel in Foster City, CA with Comcast channel 68. The tivo displays a spanish channel on 68 cbl when it should be displaying Scifi. I disabled 68 anntenna and 68-1 hd and still had the same problem.

Anyone else see this problem? Fix?

No apparent problem with SciFi Channel on 68 here in San Carlos, CA on Thursday morning.

This could be the same problem as the one described at the beginning of this thread. A reboot fixed the problem for me.

I've rebooted 3 times. No help.

FYI:
68 shows channel 74
74 shows nothing

Guess I should contact tivo tech support

And, call Comcast.. It's possible they messed up the channel lineup that the card gives to the S3.

I'm in FC and no problems with SciFi- which, unlike some areas, is still analog, not digital.
The notes about SFHD and 68-ant seem like messed up channel lineup (either you or Tivo), or some wierd/wrong mapping from Comcast to the cable guide.
Are you sure you set the Tivo for the correct area/lineup, when you did guided setup? there is NO HD scifi, and 68 is NOT antenna (ota). It should be analog only over cable. You might want to try/confirm guided setup and other channels.

Try tuning to 68 on both tuners, and go into system diagnostics, and see what the tuner says... should be RF analog, for one thing...
