Tuesday's the day when Time Warner Cable shuffles its digital lineup in an attempt to make it easier to find what you're looking for.
Of course, until you get used to the new setup, it'll actually be harder to find what you're looking for.
But the grouping of like channels together is a bit of common sense that we'll probably appreciate once we figure out the changes.
Channels 99 and lower aren't affected by the shuffle. But from 100 to 399, digital channels will be grouped into 10 categories: kids and family, learning and discovery, home and leisure, shopping, entertainment, music, movies, sports, news and weather, faith and inspiration.
Other channels are grouped together in the higher numbers, with digital broadcast channels -- digital sub-channels if you watch over the air -- between 991 and 999, and high-definition channels in the 1,000s.
You can find the new lineup at Time Warner's Web site.
If you have a DVR and you have recordings scheduled after the change, it would be smart to double-check that they survived the transition.
Time Warner's channel shuffle hit northeast Wisconsin on Thursday, and the Fox Cities TV site reported that some subscribers had to reschedule shows they had planned to record on their DVRs.
But last week's shift "went off with only a few hitches," according to the site, which monitors TV in northeast Wisconsin.
WUWM ON REDUCED POWER: WUWM-FM (89.7) was operating under reduced power over the weekend, and that could continue today and Tuesday as the public broadcaster is affected by Channel 6's tower work.
Channel 6 viewers reported Sunday that they were having difficulties receiving the Fox station's signal as well.
WUWM broadcasts from Channel 6's tower.
ON TV: Former "Gilmore Girls" mom Lauren Graham will replace Maura Tierney on NBC's "Parenthood." Production had been delayed on the dramedy by Tierney's health problems, and the show is now supposed to start after NBC's airing of the Winter Olympics. Helen Hunt had been talked about for the mom role in the show based on the 1989 big-screen flick.
RUSH TALKS TO NBC: Top-rated radio talker, Rush Limbaugh, looks like he's trying to expand his audience, talking about buying a piece of the St. Louis Rams, becoming a judge in the next Miss America pageant and, now, sitting down with NBC's Jamie Gangel for an interview where he declared "I'm not the leader of the Republican Party."
Limbaugh's radio show airs from noon to 3 p.m. weekdays on WISN-AM (1130). The final portion of Gangel's sitdown with Limbaugh airs on Tuesday's "Today," at 7 a.m. on Channel 4.
A little bit of the "Today" interview follows below.

Might want to double-check your new lineup guide. There are five channels below 100 that are changing as well. We had a handful of our analog channels change up here in Green Bay too. The changeover of channels had already happened by the time I woke up at 7 AM the day of our changeover, so I'm sure they do them overnight. Didn't have to reboot my DVR. The channels were already changed. I did have to delete ALL my recordings and re-set them up, because they all stayed at the same channel number (ie. it tried to record Monk on the Penthouse channel since that's the channel that took over the old USA HD slot). Sources at TWC up here told me that the channel change is a nationwide thing, intended to align channel numbers across every TWC footprint across the country. It will make their marketing efforts much more streamlined for sure, especially when all divisions have PPV events on the same channel number. Mark FoxCitiesTV.com

What time is this changeover supposed to happen? How am I supposed to check my DVR recordings scheduled for after the change if I don't know what time the change is?

LOL. If Rush was the de-facto leader of the Republican Party then John McCain would NOT have been the Republican Party nominee in 2008!
