Installed FIOS Cablecard and now receive more channels

Advertisements

Earlier this week, I purchased a TiVo Bolt. I installed the FIOS cablecard, and ran the set-up.

After set-up, I ran through the channels and I now have access to a whole lot more than I subscribe too. My package is for local only. Since hooking up the Bolt, I also get ESPN, HGTV, CNN and about 30 other stations that aren't part of my plan. The only thing about it is that there is no guide or program info for these channels, just the channel and and number.

Has anyone else ever encountered something like this? My guess it that these are the channels I would get even if I had the most basic plan offered through a digital cable box. Perhaps it's totally just a mistake?

 

Yeah, I just double-checked my tier and I'm still on FIOS local only. The Bolt is also on the correct ZIP. This is really odd. Who knows, I turn on the TV tonight and find the channels missing?

Thanks guys.

 

Thanks guys! That did the trick and now all the channels I receive have the appropriate guide information.
