Comcast Channel Frequencies

Spent the other night updating the list. It now seems that if you are using a cable box in the Morgantown area, it uses QAM for every channel on it. The only way to see the analog channels is to connect the cable directly to the TV. This is just them getting one step closer to requiring a cable box for every tv in the house. The only channels that will be left will be the local broadcast type channels. So here is a list of channels that I was able to determine what frequencies and qam channels they are on:

Comcast Channel Lineup for Morgantown WV

It is sorted by the frequency in case you are wondering why stuff is “out of order”.

It seems that comcast is getting ready for the use of those little cable boxes. Rescanned today and found this (all in the clear):
2.1 – KDKA HD
4.1 – WTAE HD
4.2 – this Pittsburgh
5.1 – WDTV HD
7.2601 – WPCW CW Pittsburgh HD
11.1 – WPXI HD
11.2 – Retro TV
13.1 – WQED HD
13.2 – WQED – Create
13.3 – WQED – Neighborhoood
16.1 – WQEX / Shop NBC
18.1 – WVCW CW Clarksburgh
18.6 – WDTV SD
18.7 – WBOY SD
18.8 – WVFX SD
18.9 – WNPB D1
18.10 – Local Government channel (analog 15)
18.11 – Local Channel (analog 3)
20.1 – CSPAN
22.1 – WPMY HD
24.1 – WNPB D1
24.2 – WNPB D2 – Create
24.3 – WNPB HD
40.1 – WPCB – Religous
53.1 – WPGH HD
79.3 – KDKA SD
79.4 – WPGH SD
79.5 – WTAE SD
79.6 – WQED SD
79.7 – WPMY SD
79.8 – WPXI SD
79.9 – WPCW SD
79.10 – Fox Sports Pittsburgh
79.11 – WGN Chicago
85.111 – PPV Barker Channel
86.1316 – Music Choice
90.601 – Current

I am not sure why they decided to put all the locals on Analog, HD and SD. But I have a feeling I know why… I just wish they would make the cartoon network in the clear.

KDKA please fix your TVGOS signal

Found out that the problem with my TVGOS on my one TV is that KDKA doesn’t seem to “know” about Morgantown’s zip codes. So I sent them this tonight, will see what happens or if I even get a response:

Hello,
Currently I have a TV that uses Macrovision’s (Rovi’s) TVGOS system to display the TV Guide program guide. When the signal was coming from the analog WNPB PBS Station in Morgantown WV everything seemed fine. However now that I get the signal from your station on Comcast Cable in Morgantown, the TV can never find the listings for Morgantown. I found that if I put in the zip code as 15222, it will display the comcast info for Pittsburgh, however that information is not correct for Comcast in Morgantown. Is there any way you can add Morgantown’s zip code and channel info to what ever transmits that data? Specifically 26505 or 26501.

Thanks

This is one of the shots I got tonight at the WVU vs Radford Basketball game. A lot of bad calls by the ref’s. WVU did win, and Alex Ruoff broke the WVU record of most three point shots in a game with 9
