Noticed that HGTV and the other channels that were removed earlier are now back. Are they on free preview or are they back permanently?

I noticed that as well. I would think because they were originally in our package that they should be included. We did not ask for them to be removed.

I think these are the new channels that Rogers owns. Now I can compare Home Network vs HGTV, so far they seem the same, although HGTV is missing all the new stuff that is on Home Network (I can't find Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on HGTV). I also hope some of the Canadian stuff that Corus owns gets on the network as I don't want to support a 100% American channel, especially one owned by Ed Rogers who is a friend of Trump....

Extreme Makeover is on ABC, then reruns on Home. It's not original Home content, despite the appearance that it is.

Thanks, I don't see it on ABC, but will set my recordings to record the newest episodes so I'll be covered either way. 1 week in, HGTV and Home seem like the same channel --- HGTV seems to be airing as much repeat content as Home, so it could come down to which one costs me less ... I'm leaning towards keeping what I have as it also has Flavour which I find way better than Food.

I sure wish Velocity would return. The CTV Speed Channel is terrible…all the good shows are gone…Roadkill, Mecum Auctions, etc. Is there a place to complain about Velocity’s removal? (I would guess enough people complained of HGTV etc. being removed that Telus brought them back?)

It’s pretty cool that they are back, but why not notify us so we know. You are right about the restart. We had to do that on a couple of our tvs

I expect this is a free preview period (for channels we already pay for) without the occasional banner announcing that. We'll all relax, watch the content we love (and are paying for), then suddenly they'll be gone again... unless we add Discovery+ to our already ridiculously expensive packages.

Finally a notice on the guide that these channels are on free preview until end of March. No word on if they were part of your package previously they will continue after the preview.

Ya, I've asked Telus whether they will continue after March 31 for those of us who were already subscribed to them and haven't heard back yet. Hopefully they do. Have to negotiate a new contract soon anyways...

When I look under my "Living (Legacy)" theme pack for my account it shows "Flavour Network" with a "Food Network" logo, "Home Network" with an "HGTV" logo, and "Magnolia Network Canada" with a "DIY Network" logo.
How's that for confusing?
