Just noticed that on my guide, channel 805 is "HD-Vu". This is in my favourites, so it used to be something other than that. Any ideas? I know it was the firelog at xmas...
 
I think it was just used as an information channel before last Christmas. I have it locked out so I don't think it was anything of great interest. I lock out the barker and PPV channels.
 
I think Bell may have run the non-sim-subbed superbowl on 805 2 years ago for the non ota areas..??
 
I'm thinking that I added it to my Favourites when it was firelog, then when the channel isn't authorized, it disappears from my list. Now that they have re-opened it as an advertising channel, it is back on my list. The same thing happened with TLC, ShowHD, etc.
 
As I remember, it's been fire log channel at Christmas. I think they're saving it for a possible CityTV Vancouver feed. The barker channel is just filler.
 
Since it's identical to the HD Preview channel (829) I hope it is only a temporary placeholder for something more substantive. Good PQ by the way. Just like 829.
