Well, yes and no. In Philadelphia, the Feb. 11 channel changes were postponed, but for some reason Zap2it pushed out the new channel assignments on March 11. Since the postponement was supposed to be until June 12, I lost a bunch of recordings because the channels were remapped prematurely. I had to manually create a custom lineup to get things working. Zap2it undid their channel changes on March 19, so I was able to go back to their channel mappings. See details on
this thread.
So now I have already created a custom lineup with the NEW mappings just in case Zap2it gets the timing wrong. I just need to know when to activate it.
So my question is, do these new channel mappings happen instantaneously with the digital changeover (tonight at 12:01 am), or at some other time? And if at some other time, when? After what happened last March, I am not sure I trust Zap2it to get the whole country changed over at precisely the right time.
