The guide data for SNY-HD (625) starting tomorrow says "This channel is moving to 639", but yet channel 639 doesn't exist. so i can't set up any recordings at all on this channel. normally D* has been good about getting the replacement channel up and running before removing the guide data from the old channel. what gives here?!?

No, they havent been good at it at all for the sports channel transitions. This problem happens every other week, it is just a different person here notices it because it winds up being an RSN that is important to them.

hrmm.. maybe so. when they moved MSGHD and MSG+HD i don't recall it being like this.

Probably because it is the off-season for MSG sports right now. I have noticed it almost every other week and there have been other posts here about other channels.

I think they did it wrong. Should have moved the existing channel and, if they wanted a banner to tell people they went to the wrong spot, put up a new channel where the old one was for a week or so. That way favorites and to do items and series links would track.

I noticed this last night. I was trying to set a recording for Wednesday night (Mets @ Philly) and was directed to channel 639. Following directions went to 639 and it doesn't exist. Alternative would be to record off the dedicated EI channels.

SNY might be scheduled to move on August 27. If so, you won't see it on the new channel until Wednesday. Just wait until Wednesday to set up your record on the new channel. It'll be there.

Last week, I noticed that searches still found the old channels even when the guide said that it was moving. There should be some overlap and you may be able to record from that.

i have an ARSL for "AALL METS LIVE" and up until 1-2 days ago my To Do List was full of scheduled recordings on SNYHD (625). Now all of those (except tonight) are gone and it's scheduled to record on the opposing teams RSN feed (which will be blacked out for me).

not a big deal, but it's pretty poor planning on the part of D* IMO.
