As you may know, effective May 1, 2019, your FusionTV digital local channels will be moving to a new channel numbering system to allow for growth of new networks. This channel change also affects DVR series recordings that DVR subscribers have programmed in the future. Once the current digital local channels have been moved, DVR subscribers will need to set-up new series recordings on the new channel numbers.
Alpine Communications will simulcast, meaning keeping the digital local channels on both the current and new numbering system, for one week to allow DVR subscribers to setup their new series recordings. Effective May 9, 2019, the current channel numbers will be deleted for the digital locals, DVR series setup on those channels will cease recording, and subscribers will need to tune to the new channel numbers to view the digital locals.
For example, if subscribers currently have a series recording for “Gunsmoke” on Channel 19, effective May 1st, subscribers will need to setup the series recording for “Gunsmoke” on channel 1013 otherwise your show will stop recording after May 9, 2019.
