You'll notice they're called StarzEncore now. Starz (the parent company) renamed the Encore channels, all programming remains the same.

We have the Digital Preferred and Starz - Yesterday we had Encore Westerns, today it comes up titled as StarzEncore but no show.  What's the deal?

[NanaHult]

Programming is not the same if the shows don't come on!

[OldKodger]

The previous Encore is a part of STARZ, takes a bit more patience. Go to STARZ, select MOVIES, on next screen-move to page 2-select WESTERNS, the movies to watch. For TV shows (Gunsmoke....) select SERIES, next page select CLASSIC TV and there they are.      Irritating compared to old Encore though.

I use to have the encore channels which started at aroung 515 and I don't have those any longer - can you tell me where they have moved to?

[williamdigman]

I was receiving the Encore channels as well, but with the recent change to StarzEncore, it now says I have to subscribe to get it.  What gives?  I mean, I was paying for Encore before, so now I lose those channels because of a consolidation?

Hello jw561,

You'll notice they're called StarzEncore now. Starz (the parent company) renamed the Encore channels, all programming remains the same. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let us know.

Hello williamdigman,

Since Encore is part of your package those channels should not change. You will find those channels located in your area as follows:

630 StarzEncore

634 StarzEncore Family

635 StarzEncore Action

637 StarzEncore Black

639 StarzEncore Classic

641 StarzEncore Suspense

643 StarzEncore Westerns

These are all the channels that are included in your package and were originally "Encore" channels. Additionally, you will find all the OnDemand content for these channels in the Starz section of OnDemand. If the programing is listed as StarzEncore it is available to you, if it is listed as Starz only if is not part of your package. If you are not able to access these channels, they are still not showing up correctly, or you have any additional questions or concerns please let us know.

I have Digital prefered, Encore is included in that package but now Starz is not. THe cable price keeps going up and now channeles are removed!

Very unhappy.

[andyross]

Starz was never part of Digital Preferred. It has always been a separate premimum channel, or part of certain higher packages that include the premiums.

[IJR]

No, I never had stars and don't want it but the channel #'s that were Encore are now Stars and are subsccription and I have looked at all my channels and there is no Starz Encore to be found. :-(

[IJR]

ComcastAshley where would these channels be for my area?

630 StarzEncore

634 StarzEncore Family

635 StarzEncore Action

637 StarzEncore Black

639 StarzEncore Classic

641 StarzEncore Suspense

643 StarzEncore Westerns

I hate that now that it's hard to differentiate between Starz and Encore channels. I don't subscribe to Starz but have Encore. I don't pay attention to the identifying letters at the end or channel numbers. Used to be if it started with enc, I could watch it, if stz I could not. I wish you would just leave it alone. I suspect that eventually that it's going to cost more. Your prices go up all the time and I'm about ready to give it up. Expensive and a pain to watch.

This is not a Comcast decision, you should voice your concerns to Starz.  There's a link on this page to email them.

  I agree price keeps going up and getting less for our money. Makes you want to read a book or give up on cable completely.

My Encore channels disappeared and they do not show up  (as STARZEncore)  in the 600 ramge as suggested in this forum. They do not show up on any channel at all. I have had Encore as part of my package for years. Now I do not.

I did check and yes I can go around my elbow to find my nose by using on-demand but this is an inconvenience, not a convenience.
