Default Weather Radar & WVLG on Comcast Cable

Has anyone noticed the weather radar channel and WVLG ( channel 99) is missing from Comcast? When did this happen?

It was there yesterday and it is there now. This same question was asked yesterday. Odd.

I was beginning to feel like are real dummy (guess that is still debatable) however I have found that on my TVs that have the small digital converter boxes I do not have channel 99. On the "main" comcast box, channel 99 appears.

Now that I know I am not crazy, what the heck is going on?

99 is on our Xfinity box and the "other" boxes, too.

I guess I need to call Comcast. What a great way to spend a rainy afternoon!

I always knew I was one of the chosen. Now I have the proof. Watching it right now.

They are probably rearranging the channels in the best interest of the customer. We had that happen to us a couple of years ago and cut the cable cord for good.

After spending 1.5 hours in chat with Comcast, two of the three are working. I had to power cycle the boxes and Comcast send a reset signal. The third box is apparently bad. My rant against Comcast is i could take the box to Comcast and exchange or have a new one shipped to me. However, I would have to pay the shipping charges! What BS, it is their junk that has gone bad.

Anyway, I can at least listen to WVLG in the Den while I am ranting on the TOTV...

I had a minor issue with my wifi today. After speaking with tech support for 10 minutes, he made a decision to make an appointment for a home visit. Two hours later the BrightHouse tech was here and fixed the wifi. I love BrightHouse! I'm so happy since I fired Comcast more than 2 carefree pleasant no contract years ago.

Oh! And did I mention how polite and customer friendly the BrightHouse phone reps are? Not at all like the snarly nasty Comcast reps that love to make you miserable.
