ION

What happened to the ION channel. The last couple of days channel 813 has been Defy TV but it still also says IONHD in the description? Is it no longer on Xfinity?

Guide for Ion channels displays Defy programming, but Ion shows are what is being broadcast.  I sure hope Xfinity is not trying to replace Ion with Defy..  Xfinity: Please get this fixed.

@user_p8c9uk​ It may not be Xfinity considering replacing Ion with Defy, but the local station that carries Ion as a subchannel.

No notice. And they’re showing garbage . The so -called Mystery channel is justNCIS that’s on 2 other channels in the many forms.

813 doesn't even show up on my lineup. Goes from 12 to 14 with Xfinity something on the line between where 13 should be!!  If channels keep leaving going to stream only Xfinity will be out of business..

user_2b7h7i Thank you for reaching out. ION Plus is replacing Defy. Unfortunately, this is due to the network that owns Defy and there is no way for us to provide the channel to you if they are changing how the channel can be broadcast.

Why wasn’t there any kind of notification about the change? We watch a lot of DEFY, and maybe three or four other channels and that’s it! Paying way too much for a couple of channels
