Maybe like INSP!! My bill is constantly going up and favorite channels gone!!!

Agreed.  If their goal is to push me to full streaming, they are well on their way.

So, I got lied to by Xfinity yesterday. They first said H&I moved from channel 116 to 274. When I tuned to 274 it was AHC (American Heroes Channel) & it said it required a subscription & you need to upgrade to watch it. I told the guy I was chatting with & he then said it was some issue with the broadcaster & it would be fixed in 24-48 hours. Today I called Xfinity & spoke with 2 different people. Finally got the truth...it was moved to the Ultimate package which is also where INSP went. I told them [Edited: "Language"/"Inflammatory"] because they keep moving the channels we like to watch & expecting us to pay more to watch them WHICH IS JUST WRONG!  We are the customers who pay their bill on time, don't trash our equipment, etc. [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. On top of all of this, I got a notice that my bill is going up $18.10/month (which includes a $10 increase for the Popular Triple Play package I have that they keep taking things away from). I also am losing a $13 service adjustment credit that I have been getting for the past 2 years on my current contract so that makes my bill increase over $31 a month and I am getting less & less.

Hello @cactus1814. We always encourage our customers to look at this link https://www.xfinity.com/learn/offers for available offers and promotions.

The H&I website says that they are on KVOS 12.8 and KFFV 44.3 for over the air in the Seattle area and some of the cable, satellite and streaming services like SLING but not on Comcast.  I think Comcast dropped their use of the KVOS subchannel.  I have moving antenna but no way can I get Bellingham (KVOS) but I found I can get the KFFV channels.

Yes, I can still watch H&I over my cheapo digital antenna here in the Auburn area.

@grmells​ YES, I gan get KFFV. but it has a VERY limited selection of what was available on KVOS.

Why no warning about loss of H&I channel? Obviously it’s due to the wonderful customer service provided by Xfinity cable inc. They truly [EDIT: Removed Inflammatory remark]. Happy New Year.

@user_8um8a2​ 

I was just in the Xfinity store yesterday and asked them about the problem. They all played dumb, even after I showed them on their TV. All I got was: "I don't know." Xfinity doesn't care about their customers, just their money. They know that even if you stop getting TV through them, they know you will still pay for Internet through them. They have monopolized the market.  So much 'junk' channels for $180 and now they remove one of the only. Channels I watch. Love it.

Hello @user_kc08um Our apologies that you didn't receive the prior notice about the channel changes. As a friendly reminder channel changes are typically noted on your Xfinity bills. Our Xfinity Stream app or website (https://www.xfinity.com/stream/) should allow you to view this channel over the internet. Are you able to check for us? Please log in with your Xfinity username and password to access. 

Welcome to our Community Forum, @user_3mfpg2! I know I'd be upset if one of my favorite channels was moved, so I want to help. You can view our official response here.

@XfinityKei​ I went to the url listed above where another employee said we could stream the shows airing on H&I and that turned out to be correct only if you want to pay for that privilege. (https://www.xfinity.com/stream/). Why I am paying for this service that keeps taking channels away and not giving me anything? My kids are encouraging me to cut Comcast out of my bills.

@user_sdqbdk​ That's kind of all we can do at this point, hope for the best. Maybe they'll get it resolved, but probably not. Unaware of it or not, the fact that H&I no longer appears on the channel listings on the Xfinity website is not encouraging. Every time something like this happens, I ask myself why I stay with this cable company. They make it very difficult.

Hi, @user_sdqbdk! Here is some additional information I found on what's happening with H&I. Please let me know if this helps. 

By Monday evening they seemed to have the new channel guide online.  But the lack of notice of the channel changes is just POOR customer service.  But then again, it is COMCAST!

@badsaj​ It looks like that's what happened, but, if that's the case, they need to add one of the other channels that carries H&I to their lineup. I have very little confidence they'll do that. Not having that channel leaves a big hole, IMO. No more Star Trek, among many other classic shows.

I can still watch H&I over my cheapo digital antenna in the Auburn area.

@user_72dl0h​ No kidding, no more Star Trek at night, no more a lot of stuff that we watch regularly. [Edited: "Language"]

Agreed, it was the only reason I had cable. I talked to them about better pricing last week, and they suggested the 10 channel cheaper package, which was exactly the same price as the current 125 channel. Like people are going to choose less channels for the same money.  And how is it possible to have Internet for $51, cable for $51 and fees of $80? These services are completely passive income, and require nothing, except the flip of a switch,  to provide. 

@user_72dl0h We'd hate to see you go over this! We know how important it is to have access to the channels you enjoy for the content you love. I spend a lot of my time watching things in the background instead of directly to help pass my day, so I can understand your frustration with this! When reviewing the Heros & Icons site, they state on the home page: 

Washington Viewers: H&I is moving to a new channel on Dec 31, 2023.  Heroes & Icons is available over the air on KVOS Ch. 12.8 and KFFV Ch. 44.3, DirecTV 385 and multiple streaming partners. Visit our Where to Watch page for the full list.

Since this is a change on their end, this is not something we have control over, and would hate to loose you for that. The good news, is there are still alternative viewing options for content on this channel, which is you can learn more about by review our Offical Solution to this post.

Can Xfinity replace the KVOS Univision Channel (Channel 116) with the KVOS 12.8 or KFFV 44.3 H&I Channel in the Seattle Area or just add it as a new Xfinity channel?

@Andyross​ I never saw any notification or notice and I watch the network quite a bit. Watched. It's gone now.

@Andyross​ what doesn’t make sense though is the channel is still available in Seattle on direct tv, dish, over the air, and through streaming. This makes me think it’s a xfinity decision to not carry it, unless they are still working on an agreement and it will announced soon. 

@Andyross​ Don't defend Comast! They lied to you. They moved H&I to the Ultimate package.

@user_fioszt​ Just sent a message to them. Hopefully enough people will do the same. Sadly I'd say a vast chunk of people won't know, figure out, or be told who they do need to complain to. I stumbled across this forum digging around Google, I wasn't keen on talking to the largely useless customer service for Comcast unless I had no other option.

Over the years Comcast keep taking the best channels away and then raising my bill.  No more Spike TV (which is now PAR). No more CMT, No more TOONS, and now now more H&I.  Comcast never replace the channels they takeaway with something comparable.  I am not very tech savvy, that is why I have stuck with them this long.  I need to get more tech savvy.  

I searched" Is H&I on any streaming service" and found this link.

I lead me to link.  https://www.handitv.com/looking-for-handi/#:~:text=Many%20U.S.%20television%20stations%20are,of%20H%26I%20are%20not%20impacted.

it states the same thing

Yeah I would also like to know if I’m ever going to get to watch this channel again. I called in when it was the Spanish channel and the person I talked knew nothing about it
