Just came across channel 804 (called CBCHW) on Bell ExpressVu. Looks like it's a temporary channel for the NHL playoffs. It is showing the 7pmET game, and the 10pm game tonight. If the Pittsburgh/Ottawa game goes into overtime, you can watch the entire 10pmET game on channel 804 in HD. I love it! The guide after the games tonight says that they are doing the same thing on April 17th.
 
This is not out of the blue you know.. bell had already said they would put this channel on all HD consumers accounts once they got rid of Euronews channels and that other french channel. I didnt even notice that CBC Highdef west had already come online. Thanks for the 'update' so to speak.
 
Seems the 5.1 audio on the new CBCWHD(804) is alot better than on 802 East for the Vancouver game
 
It is not old news. This is not CBC West. It is only there for the playoffs, the information on the guide, and the fact that there is just a slide there now promoting games for next week makes that pretty obvious.

So, it is "out of the blue", so to speak.
 
I don't suppose anyone could provider the transponder frequency for this channel.

My commercial Tandberg TT1222's have to be manually tuned.
 
Maybe only temporary but it did carry promo's and commercials for Vancouver and a short Vancouver newscast. Would guess that it will remain as CBCHD West.
 
Thanks, got it going.
It may have been my set up here, but the picture looked the $h1ts compared to my other HD feed of the Flames/Wings game tonight.

Anybody else notice a lot of "zzz" during rapid motion?
Lots of jaggies.

Not trying to beat on them, just wondering so I can make any needed local adjustments to the set up.
