Re: Anyone able to pick up WBBM-2.1 now?
I hear 3 channels moved:
CBS from 3 to 12 (No problem with reception here, in Skokie)
ABC from 52 to 7
and WGBO
I assume you re-scanned your display or box?
It is interesting to note that both CBS and ABC were mis-ID'd with channel numbers on the DTVPal we have....
Instead of 2-1, the Pal says CBS is 77-01
Instead of 7-1, the Pal says ABC is 78-01
(I just got an email from someone with a DTVPal + model... and same thing happened to him!)
Except if you enter 2 or 7, it goes to the right channel, though displays wrong channel number information!!!!
We having fun yet???

1 edit | Hmm gives me an idea of rescanning my TV since channels are in new places. I see 2 and all of channel 7 are nothing. 7-1,2, and 3 are missing
[EDIT]
After rescanning I was able to get channel 7 now but still no channel 2 where ever it may be now. They already suck in ratings for the 10 o'clock news, imagine their ratings now that nobody can pick up their digital signal. |

Jan, I did a clear and then a scan, and later on did another scan. But my tuner has a frequency signal section that will let me select any channel, scanned or not. That is why I said I can see low signal.
I can still get WBBM HD via DIRECTV's signal, so it doesn't affect me. However, methinks they have a bigger problem. Could you explain the ongoing love affair with VHF? Even if it is the upper band, wouldn't UHF have made more sense? |

Schaumburg, IL | You're closer to downtown than I am aren't you? I get BBM fine with a 78 on my sat receiver. Now if I could just get something that looked decent from WLS 60-64 and all macroblocking.

Now if I could just get something that looked decent from WLS 60-64 and all macroblocking. Yep, I'm closer, but on a different line. My WLS/WBBM results are the exact opposite of yours, except my WBBM is far worse than your WLS. |
