BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I've been hearing some grumblings on the interwebz about possible changes to the channel lineup on the Fort's cable system. Is there a Fiend at the Scene that can confirm? Here's the most current lineup info we have...

PoorGABoy 4 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'm going to ask a stupid question (but you never know)- is it required to use their cable converter box with a new TV? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No box is needed for digital TV's. You do need to bring your own cable- so don't forget that. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks- Thought so, but you never know about The Fort. No, you don't. It's annoying that the channel numbers have decimals in them- the only way to get to a channel is to scroll through all of them. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 No, you don't. It's annoying that the channel numbers have decimals in them- the only way to get to a channel is to scroll through all of them. TCD Before I finally got my grandmother to let me put her on cable thats how the digital over the air channels worked. Her remote had a decimal point on it for directly putting in the channel.

Her remote had a decimal point on it for directly putting in the channel. Well mine doesn't. And the remote that comes with the cable boxes the Fort loans out doesn't have a decimal point either. PITA. When we went for the 4th, I settled for the 8 or so analog channels you can get without the box. I got Stacy, and that was good enough for me. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dont 1 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Anyone know the cable box rental fee and where to get it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Anyone know the cable box rental fee and where to get it ? There's no fee. You get the box at the Meadow Trading Post. You have to sign an agreement saying you will pay something outrageous like $125 if you don't bring it back. Remember, you only need it for older analog TV's. It's not necessary for digital TV's. And the supply is limited- there are times when the don't have enough, and you have to be on a waiting list to get one. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 There is no fee, however if you don't return it they'll charge you $125. You can get them at the Meadows Trading Post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Specularius 102 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 The "Dash" on the remote is used as the decimal point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 The "Dash" on the remote is used as the decimal point. I'll have to look for that. But, I don't think there is one on mine, nor on the remotes that come with the cable boxes. Grumpy mentioned this a while ago. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 When we were there a few weeks ago, there were some channels in the middle that had no signal. They scanned in when we did our scan, but as we were flipping through, nothing, nada, zilch. It was very annoying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhall 115 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 TCD, Awhile back I solved that problem on a tv that had a remote like yours by acquiring an universal remote. It had the dash on it and worked awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It had the dash on it and worked awesome. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Unless there's a football game on, I don't really need the remote. It's OK with me to just leave Stacy on.

djsamuel 322 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Just got home today. The lineup you have is not correct. Many of the channels now start at 55. I was talking to one of the techs who needed to come out to my site to fix the cable receptacle (someone took it). He said the new system is causing some problems because it does not work with some digital tuners. It was fine with mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If any Fiend on the Scene has a few minutes to kill to update the list, I'll buy you a drink at Crockett's. Oy vey. Why can't the Fort have the same channel lineup as the other resorts?

They must have made an effort to screw up their system if it is causing problems with some digital tuners. Cable TV transmission ain't rocket science. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southernview -- Ray 25 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I always try my tailgater first to see if I can get a good enough signal. Only if I can't get a decent signal, I'll use the cable. For the local stations, I always use my antenna. Much better HD picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brerroadrunner 8 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Does anyone have an update on the channel listings AND a solution to getting all the channels(the missing middle ones)? Their system is very frustrating! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 We're at the Fort now. We have two flatscreen tv's an RCA and a Vizio. The RCA is about two years old and the Vizio was just installed after we arrived here this December. We also have the missing channel problem on both sets. Around 20-x until 55-1. The missing ones all programmed in the scans as mentioned above but produced only a channel number and a blue screen with a "No Signal" box.... and IIRC, all had HD in their titles. They may be the same as ther upper channels...55-1 to 66-4. To be sure, you can receive all the Disney stations...and the ESPN stations except SEC. Last year I broke down all the actual available channels and they only went through 31.4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
