TV Guide station

I have TV Essential package, yesterday we could go to station 72.1, which was the TV Guide station.  Today it nothing but a blank screen.  We do not have the cable box.  

Have called in and was told to do the auto reset for stations, this did not help.

Any idea where we can now find the TV Guide channel?

Thanks

Dave H

Our channel numbers don't have decimals in them which has me wondering if you were receiving an over the air broadcast that's no longer available.  The TV Guide channels was the only channel over cable that used to have TV listings but with everybody transitioning to cable/satellite they removed TV listings and decided to focus on programming content instead.

Chris,

In many areas, Cox still uses XX.1, XX.2, etc, numbering for some of its ClearQAM channels. For example, in my area (San Diego), Cox uses 75.6 for Aztec America, 97.1 for CTN, 97.3 for TV Guide, 97.4 for ITV, 97.7 for Local Government, as well as 23 audio only channels at 81.xx.

For the OP, they could be anywhere.

Hi Dave,

Sorry for the confusion! The last information I have indicates that you should be able to pick up TVGN on ClearQAM channel 72.14. 

My suggestion is to program your tuner to run a channel scan, as this will update the channel map for you. While I know that the TV Guide Network changed its programming format and moved to digital-only, this change happened several months ago. I have not found any updates indicating a change was made in the last few days.

I'll keep looking, and will post an update if I get further information for you.

Becky,

In my area (San Diego North) the TV Guide Network was on 97.3 ClearQAM. It was one of a handful of channels at 97.xx, as listed above. But they have lately disappeared from 97.3 while the others remain. Nor can TV Guide be found at 112, where it is alive and well on the DVR. So it appears TV Guide is no longer ClearQAM in San Diego. If it is, could you provide the channel/frequency?
