General Discussion / Channels you wish your cable/satellite provider had

« on: March 05, 2011, 05:27:44 PM »

Well, we are finally switching from U-Verse back to Cox.  We have had nothing but problems with their service.  I was comparing channels we would loose and gain, and found we will gain a few channels I missed.  With U-Verse, we don't get...

Topeka's local CW and MyTV networks, as with local school and college channels (which believe it or not I used to watch.)  Of course we will be gaining weatherscan  and local forecasts again!!  As well as I think Hallmark and a few others.  However, there are still a few channels I wish we would get, before like 2007 we used to get the Fox affiliate from Kansas City, but it was taken off the cable system for some reason.  Also, I wish we would get a channel from Lawrence, KS (A short drive east of Topeka) called 38 the Spot! Which airs a variety of programing.

Anywho I thought it would be interesting to see what channels other people wish their cable/satellite provider would get.

My mistake... however... look where Google maps places Olathe 

That would be where Olathe, KS is.  However I do see you entered Olathe, MO, but I believe google maps, if a city is mistakenly entered will zoom into the correct city. That's probably why it zoomed into Olathe, KS.

Kansas has had an very active Winter Season with numerous snowstorms pounding the state.  However, things are changing with severe weather occuring this past week, and a Statewide Tornado Drill being set for this coming Tuesday.  As Kansas comes into Severe Weather Season, I will start posting more weather information for the state.

Forecast:
50s in the western part of the state, 40s in the east.  Next week snow in the west and poss. severe storms in the east.

Besides the overlapping, there is indeed an Olathe, MO and its placement is just as it is on that metro map

I'm sorry, I was, and still am unaware of any Olathe, MO.

I do apologize that I do not know which cable system this is on, but the local weather ID is 22535. This is in Olathe, KS.

On the metro weather map, it has "Olathe" placed twice on the map.  I do know there are two airports in Olathe, both with NWS reporting sites.  I believe this is why there are two "Olathe"s...but the second Olathe is placed in Missouri on the map and I believe this probably leads to confusion among people with the cable system.  Here is a video from youtube:

I think he meant a clock during the LF…

That would be correct.

Also, is the IS2 still technically in "BETA"?

Intellistar 2 just activated in Topeka. Data not available for anything so it JUST came on in the last 5 minutes. Will take video when it loads.

Yes!!  I am hoping we are switching back to Cox soon!!  Don't get me wrong I love U-Verse but we you are only allowed so many HD streams and recording can be a #$#*@ sometimes.  Plus I want all of my local channels and WxScan and etc. back!!  I will be heading over to a friends house later and will probably have a video of the IS2!!!

I agree with you in that they should add Auburn.  As of now the nearest reporting location is Berryton, and storms during the spring and summer will have already passed Auburn before they are in Berryton where the local conditions will then update.  I am not trying to argue with you either but I was just providing the reason why I think they should change locations.  I guess I will leave this up to the forum admin and/or Star team to see what they think needs to be done.

Cox serves almost all of Shawnee county, including Silver Lake and Berryton. Please don't take offense to this but I already requested they change having two areas labeled Topeka and they did. They chose to change one to Berryton and keep Topeka and Silver Lake. Since you have AT&T U-Verse and not Cox, why does it matter enough to request it? Again, please don't take offense but is it really worth bothering people over?

According to all of the TV Guides Silver Lake along with Rossville are served by Galaxy Cablevision, and Galaxy even has Silver Lake listed on their website.  Cox does not have Silver Lake listed on their website.  Unlike some people I wasn't asking TWC to change the locations to suite what I want, I just thought it would be of best interest for the community if they take out some of the cities they don't serve and enter in some of the ones that they do.

Topeka, KS
Cox Communications
22909

I noticed that on the LDL or little bottom strip displaying wx. info, it shows Silver Lake, Berryton and Topeka.  Cox doesn't serve Silver Lake to my knowledge.  I was wondering if it would be possible to remove Silver Lake and possibly Berryton and just have Topeka and Forbes Field.  Topeka (Billard) serves Tecumseh and Northern portions of Topeka.  Forbes Field serves Berryton, S. Topeka, Wakarusa, Pauline and Auburn.

You just made my night. I haven't ever been able to find where they post that stuff though. I knew they had to inform them of that stuff, just wasn't sure where. Thank you! Happy birthday to me, I guess... we get it two days before my birthday.

County Commission Agendas can be seen at: http://www.snco.us/commission/agendas.asp

You will have to let me/us know if Topeka does get an HD Star.

No, kswx29 said he saw Cox Topeka was getting TWC HD and I was wondering if he read that online somewhere or saw a scroll somewhere or something?

I seen it on the County Commission Agenda.  Cox always notifys the County Clerk's office when they make Channel Line-up changes.
