I hope someone can help,
I spoke with a couple ladies I work with about Dark Shadows because they watched it as kids as did I.
I advised them that here in Arizona it's on the Sci Fi channel from 6-7AM. One tried to watch it last week and the other this morning and both said that a Paid Advertising show was on at this time. Now I have Direct TV and they have Cox cable but would that matter? They would both love to watch it again as it's been over thirty years since they've seen it. I know it was on from 6-7 this morning because I watched/taped it.
In the schedule that gets posted here it always matches with what I get. It states that Dark Shadows is currently on from 8-9AM Eastern time and 5-6AM Pacific. That is exactly right because right now it's on from 6-7 and when Daylight Savings hits in April it will be on from 5-6 because Arizona does not change their clocks.
So why are they not receiving it from 6-7 on their Cable. It would seem to me that it would be the same no matter if one has Direct TV or Cox Cable.
Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks,
Murph

Murph, this may sound obvious, but are you sure they turned on the Sci Fi Channel, and not just the number channel YOU get it on? Here, I get Sci Fi on channel 48, on Cablevision. Others on Long Island, who also get Cablevision and get Sci Fi get it on a different channel number.
My brother and I used to make each other nuts telling each other to turn on this or that channel when they didn't match up!!
hope it's that simple!

Murph, I checked the listing for Cox Cable in Phoenix on tvguide.com, and it said that Dark Shadows airs on SciFi (channel 50) from 9-10am.
If this still isn't right, try going to the tvguide.com website yourself and click on TV Listings at the upper left. Just follow the instructions and you should be able to figure out when it comes on.
Hope this helps. :)

Same here in upstate NY. Depending upon which cable system that services your area, Scifi can be seen on Channel 36, 46, 53 or 57. If you have Digital Cable, that channel is 109/48. I see it on Channel 53.

Parts of Arizona get Sci-Fi's Eastern Feed (DS on from 6-7am), while others get the Western Feed (DS on from 9-10am). When DS is on depends on what feed each individual cable company is picking up. ;)

I hope the local cable company isn't preempting that time slot to run its own stuff (usually infomercials). When I lived in Alaska, the local company did that with the Sci-Fi Channel (among others), but usually only in the wee hours of the morning, from maybe two to five or six a.m. Often, it would just break in in the middle of something, and end just as abruptly. The guy pushing Waxonizer or whatever would vanish, to be replaced by the crew of the Seaview on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea fighting some monster in a rubber suit.

And along with that they're always changing the channels around. Here, we use to have Sci-Fi on channel 48 and now they've changed it to 96!
