98.1 CHFI Christmas Music & Fireplace channel

[-G-]

Is anybody receiving the 98.1 CHFI Christmas Music & Fireplace on channel 299 yet?  It was supposed to switch over from the Sunset Channel at 6 AM on November 21.  That morning, we got a "We are experiencing technical difficulties" screen and since then, it has just been an animated graphic with Santa and Rudolph saying "98.1 CHFI -- All Christmas Music -- Coming soon!".  Is it?

CHFI is also Rogers-owned and Bell Fibe TV customers have been receiving this channel since mid-November.

That's what I see and I hear some sleigh bells.  😉

Seems like it's working now for me @-G- and @57!

I'm seeing the stockings hung by the chimney with care and Christmas music. 🙂

Yes, working here in Toronto near Yonge & Lawrence.  I was just checking/corroborating for @-G- , but I'm glad that everyone who wants to can now enjoy the channel.

Hi @MrBlig12,

Welcome to the Community!

Are you getting an error message when you try to access the channel? Or are you seeing the " technical difficulties" message as mentioned by the OP?

Please keep us posted!

In Barrie we had the technical difficulties message and now it is just a black screen, no sound.

We're getting a white screen that just says the Sunset Channel will return in January - I don't think we've had the fireplace/radio station working at all this year! (Whitby ON here)
