Now I’ve figured out the internal logic of Time Warner’s local HDTV channel numbers here in Durham, I guess I’m a little less confused:
- WRAL (CBS) 5’s HD stream is channel 255.
- ABC 11’s HD stream is channel 211.
- NBC 17’s HD stream is channel 217.
- Fox 50’s HD stream is channel 250.
It leaves the choice of 201 for PBS still somewhat arbitrary, but what can you do?
