Speed Channel on Comcast?

Mr. BMW · 01-20-2010, 04:26 PM

Does anyone know what channel Speed is on Comcast with out the converter box? Since they just made everyone get a converter box to watch tv I can't find Speed. With the box it's on channel 54 but I can't find it on my High-def tv. On the high-def TV all the other channels are their but in random numbers, like Food is 29.5 instead of 66, NESN is 29.11 instead of 51 etc...

Comcast uses decimals in channel numbers now?

Hi-def tv's can pick up the decimal channels without a cable box.

So like 4,5,7 broadcast in 1080i on channel 4.1, 5.1, and 7.1 Fox is in 720i on 25.1.

I haven't tried it get but I'm guessing with the cable box, 4,5,7 and Fox on their normal channels will not be in hi-def on a hi-def tv unless you have the hi-def package and are watching the 8xx series channels.

Same here. I have the gardening channel, the weather channel, hell even QVC in HD but no Speed Channel--the only one missing.

For some reason I don't pick up that channel. I can't even punch it in by hand.
