TV broadcast not same as Stream

I am in the Richmond area & looking forward to the Washington Capitals hockey game on Monumental Network channel 846.

However, what was being broadcasted on cable channel  was college women's basketball on the broadcast via cable TV.

However, on my Xfinity stream app, the hockey game was broadcasting as scheduled.

Why is the cable TV broadcast displaying the wrong content?

Good Evening @GUS_GuyUsingSystem Thank you so much for reaching out.  The issue you are running into is a result of the Network Broadcast Agreements that Xfinity maintains with each network. These networks do have the ability to restrict how we can broadcast their programming, and in this case, it was available via Stream, but not direct channel broadcast.

This network  is being broadcasted in SD on another channel. 

So you are incorrect. 

It is only on the 2 HD channels that I don't see Monumental 's shows correctly displayed. 

I see the Big10 shows.

Thank you so much for clarifying that for us, @GUS_GuyUsingSystem! We can certainly look into it further. What channels numbers are seeing the differences on?

Channels 846 & 1250 should be Monumental Network. 

But are displaying content from 855 & 1313 respectively. 

Channel 7 is displaying Monumental content in SD correctly.

this was resolved by your local Richmond network engineering team within 24 hours of me calling into Xifnity help line.

The shows are appearing on the correct channels now.
