online Channel Line-up to include "virtual Channels"

Where does one find Comcast's programming guide ("TV Guide") that includes the "virtual channels"? When I go tohttp://xfinitytv.comcast.net/tv-listings all I see is the standard channel lineup (e.g. Channel 2, 4, 5, 7, etc). I'm looking for the guide to channels like 4.1, 4.2, 5.2, 7.1, 7.2, etc.

Thanks!

The only place is HERE, the lists here are generated by customers with this Mfr's TV tuners and uploaded to the site.  There is no 100% guarantee these are accurate due to the channels being moved around. 

 

There is no official site from Comcast as Comcast does not officially support clearQAM, and the channels move around without notice.

Thanks for the reply.  I did find that site before posting.  It's interesting as it lists the channels, but it doesn't provide an actual programming guide.  Am I to understand that there is no actual "programming guide" for these channels?  So the only way to find out what will be on them is to tune in and find out? :smileyhappy:

 

Thanks again!

You can use any online program guide like the one from Comcast or Zap2it.  Match the digital channels to the actual network channel or Comcast channel.

 

As clearQAM goes away, this will have less effect on any subscribers as they are forced to use a Comcast supplied DTA or full box when all digital channels are encrypted.
