The saga is over (For now)
After I came home tonight and I was still seeing jack & squat on the channels I was paying for, I gave Rogers another ring. The tech I speak to says that the ticket opened in my case as the matter was resolved... uh, not quite there sparky <_<
So the tech resends the signal and tells me to wait for an hour after shutting down the box. I thank the tech, end the call and on a lark five minutes later fire up the box and the TV.
Success!
However I notice that some of the HD channels I'm supposed to get, notablely TSN HD, ain't there, so back I go to call the tech, turns out that the CSR at the Rogers video store while correctly ordering me LeafsTV somehow left off the $5.95 HD pack that includes TSN HD. So a bit more shutting down and restarting of the magic box and voila I have everything I wanted (But at a price slightly higher than the Rogers Video CSR quoted but meh :rolleyes: )
Watched a bit of the Sabres/Sens game in HD and surfed around the other HD channels while recording something else with the PVR function as a test. Very nice 1080i output on my Sony.
One question I wonder about is why does Rogers see fit to have the HD channels in two different channel slots at the same time? :huh: It seems like the waste of a channel slot that could go to something else. That and the fact that the Music button on the Rogers remote points to a "broken" channel slot instead of the first music channel as the manual for the remote says it should...
Now all I have to do is bite the bullet and get a Harmony to replace my Sony RM-AV2100. The AV-2100 has seerved me well but its too limited to make up for the zillions of tiny function buttons that the Rogers remote has :(
