Introduction

If you live in the Pacific Time Zone, some of your favorite high definition (HD) networks will be changing from East Coast to West Coast primetime programming hours effective July 15, 2014.



What This Means

If you live on the West Coast, HD primetime programming airs three hours before the traditional hours of 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM (PT). Now, some HD networks’ primetime shows will instead air during those traditional hours. All channel numbers will remain the same.



Before this change, the standard definition (SD) and HD channels of the same network did not show the same programming, which impacted the viewing experience when switching from SD to HD or vice versa.



Edgier programming will now air later in the evening, not during family viewing time.



What You Need to Do

If your DVR recordings and/or Parental Controls are set by channel, you will need to reset your DVR recordings by signing in to DVR Manager and resetting your Parental Controls. This will help ensure that you don’t miss any of your favorite programming and/or that select programming is locked at the appropriate time.
