This past Thursday, I started not being to receive three Starz channels -- Starz Kids and Family (788), Starz Cinema (789) and Starz in Black (796). This was only on my two TiVos (HD and Premiere) -- on my third TV using just a Mediacom box, they come in fine. What comes up is the gray/black cablecard screen. But, what's interesting is that when I call up the program info for those channels (even though there's no video/audio) it says this -- "The copyright holder of this program permits viewing at less than high definition using component outputs." I am able to view all other Starz channels in my package; just not these three. The other interesting thing is that program info window says the video resolution is 720p on the channels I can't received. It's 1080i on all the others that I DO receive.
I am using HDMI cables on the TiVo boxes and component on the Mediacom box. But, even when I hooked up one of the TiVo boxes with component, I was still unable to receive those three. I've been in discussion with Mediacom to no avail and a tech is scheduled to come out Tuesday. But this sounds to me like something Starz has done.
Anyone else using TiVo to get Starz having this problem?
