Just thought I’d add that as of tonight, 10/20/04, we have at least 6 channels showing CBS, 2 of A&E, 2 of CourtTV, and 2 of AMC.
As well as channel 2, where CBS should be, you can also find it on 6 (PBS), 9 (KCAL), 13 (UPN), 16 (CNN), and 42 (Sci-Fi).
Channel 48, which should be the History Channel, is showing AMC.
Instead of TLC on 51 we have G4TechTV.
Lifetime (52) is currently another A&E, and G4 Tech TV that should be on 53 is another CourtTV.
Seems like the problems with this cable are getting worse by the week . . . Come on, do we REALLY need 6 channels showing CBS?
Thanks for that. I was out last night…
This is still going on this morning.
It gets weirder by the day.
I just called PV Housing, and the frontdesk person first told me to call Resnet. After my inquiry about what resnet has to do with the cable TV, she connected me to the maintenance supervisor.
That guy told me to call CampusTelevideo, which doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. I explained to him at length that I am not a party in the contract with CampusTelevideo, so I can’t call them. He eventually agreed to take my complaint.
