Me TV channel switch

GrouchoS

As of today, October 1, Me TV Network changed affiliations from WFMP in Lawrence (cable channel 23) to WCVB in Boston and according to the Me website it is supposed to available on channel 461 for Verizon. No channel exists as of today and I called Verizon and as usual they had no idea what I was talking about. Anybody out there know what is going on?

Might not have been completed yet, or you may have reboot your STB/DVR to pick up the channel change.

Channel 461 is also not listed on the Verizon website of available channels once I've logged in to my verizon.com account.

ME-TV's website states that Verizon will be adding the channel on 461 "later this week...stay tuned" but NO ONE in Verizon knows anything about it.

Only a few Verizon personnel are authorized to talk about unannounced informations. So even if you reached someone who knew what is going on, they would probably not be authorized to say anything until its announced. And the typical new channels (which this is because its not the same local provider as before) are not announced until they are up.

As of 10/4/12, channel 461 is still not up.

I'm trying to be patient, but would Verizon care to comment on why so many other Boston area cable providers

are already providing the WCVB/MeTV channel while Verizon lags behind? This channel affiliation

change was known well in advance of Oct. 1, and the technical work to make the changeover could

presumably have been better anticipated.

GrouchoS

Since I started this chain I tried to contact WCVB about it but they didn't even reply. I guess for all of us who have been using Verizon FIOS a while the response or lack of should be of no surprise. I remember earlier this year when they were going to a new channel guide screen it took a long time between the announcement and the actual implementation. Whenever I called about it and asked when it would finally be implemented nobody ever seemed to know. It is just so frustrating to deal with them even on the supposedly simplest of matters!

Thanks for responding Groucho. I believe you meant Verizon and not WCVB. This is my first

major complaint with Verizon FiOS after several years, but I know I've been lucky in that regard.

WCVB has a pretty good Me-TV Facebook page, and they have been open and communicative

about the overall changeover in that forum. I hope they start applying some pressure to Verizon

because the delay is probably costing them advertising revenue.

No, I meant WCVB as I went to their home page not their Facebook page but thanks for the idea on that.

Wow, I am glad I found this forum and thread.

I called Verizon support today to find out more about why MeTV had disappeared (we loved watching it all summer!!!) and to0 complain if they had canceled it. After an hour of usual Vz nonesence (bad communication, reiteration, explaining to the next person in the chain) I found someone who said it was canned due to low viewership. They mentioned nothing about brining it back - though I saw that on the MeTV website. I wasn't prepared for devoting another hour to Vz support as I explained what I saw at MeTV's website.

I REALLY hope they bring it back. Maybe someone from Vz reads this Highly doubtful... All during my call with Verizon I was assured how important my call/chat was, how valued I am as a customer. Everyone was very, very, very polite. But that was all rhetoric. No real information was obtained more than I could have conjectured. I could tell a fair amount was cut'n'paste and boiler. I think they have an F12 key that says how important I am and a F5 key which states how valuable a customer I am. The fundamental point (apart from frustration at language barriers and working with someone who was using a scrupt) was that at no time did any actions take place which made me feel like I was anything but a nameless stooge with an account number. In the end, absolutely nothing was done and no feeling of satisfaction was had.

I want my MeTV!

I also want Me TV back. Would Verizon please respond to all these posts? I watch it a lot and all of a sudden it is gone. If you are bringing it back please respond to us. I keep wishing I had never changed from Xffinity. This is just one more problem. I have the faster internet and I have connection problems all the time.

Please bring back Me TV you put on Plum station and the stuff on it STINKS. I miss not being able to watch the Rifleman and Hogans Heroes all the shows I remember.

Verizon -- you really need to make a formal public statement about the future of WCVB channel 5.2

(Me-TV Boston) on your system. If you are really having technical problems providing the service, embarrassing

as that may be compared to your competitors, just come out and admit it.

You are getting pummeled on social media about this (see previously referenced Me-TV Facebook

page). Most companies is this situation choose to take charge of a deteriorating public relations situation,

limit rumors, and publicly set proper customer expectations.

I just switched from Comcast (which has the Me TV Network) to Verizon Fios today because I have Verizon internet and figured I should just have all with one company. I saw today however Fios does not have the Me TV Network. That was one network I mistakenly assumed they would have (wrong). I hope they bring it back!

Are you sure you don't have it? I certainly do here in the DFW area, channels 18/518. Most of the programming is 4:3, but it is very watchable. And I know it is available on FiOS in at least some other areas, if not most or all. So I suggest you look again, you might just find it, depending on where you are located.
