You are most likely in an area that uses SDV. Supposedly a USB dongle will be coming out to address this issue.

TBS HD was recently added to comcast,(Indianapolis area) It comes up at channel 196 no information is listed in the program guide as of yet.

Report the problem here:

About 3 work days after I reported that there was no guide data on TBSHD in my area (TW - Albany), the data appeared in my guide. You might get it sooner, since I reported it on a Saturday and I believe the missing guide reports are only processed Monday through Friday.

The only other problems I noticed are when it was first added, I needed to go to my Channel List and select TBSHD before it showed up in the guide at all and there was never a message received about the channel being added.

Well Ive talked to a couple other reps and they told me I should get tbs hd and they have no plans for SDV rollout here in columbus. So I think we are ok, im getting my tivo and cable cards (with TW) in tomorrow so Il be sure to check it out right away.

I just confirmation from a TW engineer here in Columbus, OH and 759 TBS-HD is definitely a Switched Digital Video channel.

I'm in Houston and we have Comcast. We got a flyer in the mail that listed a handful of new HD channels. TBS, HGTV, NFL, some others. They are not showing up in my guide yet either, although I can tune to NFL HD and one other directly. No guide data showing up yet though.

I called Comcast today. The CSR said that the new channels will be "turned on" on the 23rd. So, no indication of SDV. Just a delay with the channels being officially rolled out.

rrrr, I had a feeling that it was a SDV channel. This sucks. I dont really care right I dont have tbs hd since nothing is in hd on that chanel (other then baseball) but I just hope the new hd chanels coming out arent sdv. Maybe we will get this usb dongle here soon to get these chanels

I DO get TBS HD here in columbus. ALL hd chanels come in fine so I guess none are SDV yet!


I just had the tech come out here and he installed 2 cards and left. He didnt test out the system. I tested it and I only got my locals, and local hd chanels. I didnt get any hbo, show time (hd or sd), digital and other hd chanels. I talked to someone online and an hour later I eneded up taking out on of the cable cards and restarted the system and it worked! The installer installed TWO (2) Mcards and so that was causing problems. So now I just have one mcard, and i can still view/record 2 shows (hd or sd) at once! So now my fee free tw columbus for the card is only 1.75 and not 3.50 a month.
