Last night, after being out of town for a couple of days, I checked my program guide at about 9PM EDT and found the following HD programs had turned RED and were blocked: AE, ESPN2, DISC, HIST, TBS, RAVE, and probably a couple of others I don't remember. I have AT200 and UltimateHD package. I was prepared to blast E* this morning for taking these away, especially since I'm still getting the HD programming free for signing up in November. But when I checked this morning, they were back to normal. Was this simply a glitch, or a precursor of bad things to come? Anyone else have this happen to them?

I have seen this as a glitch, usually a reboot brings them back. The nightly update is basically a reboot so that is probably what gave them back to you.

I have several areas in my program guide that are red with duplicates that I can watch, so I was wondering if it was a glitch or testing or ??
I have AT250 and the UlitmateHD as well with no loss of channels I can see just dupes.

FYI this is my first post!!! :)

they create a "shadow" of channels with diff number for diff package. as long as you can watch your sub HD in other number range then it's OK
