FWIW - Re: Ion - WPXJ- HD- Info - I received from them recently:

Thank you for the feedback. We are currently doing a rolling launch for HD broadcast. At this time a specific date is not available for when WPXJ will be available in HD. Thank you for contacting ION Media Networks.

Zap2it - sometimes will list programs on Ion in HD.

I had the unexpected opportunity of scopeing out (literally) a FiOS installation in West Seneca.

Their system goes up to RF channel 126 at 819 MHz. Unlike TWC, that stops at channel 117. (FiOS and CATV have the same frequency plans) . There were two separate, additional channels at 134 & 135 (855 & 861 MHz respectfully).
Between RF channels 4 & 5 there were two 'signals' at 73.25 & 75.25 MHz (not QAM signals). Nothing was below RF channel 2 (57 MHz).

After doing a limited scan (I wasn't able to complete the scrambled channel deletion portion of the 2 step process) using a 2009 Samsung TV, was not able to find any 'in the clear' channels. Every RF channel was QAM. As expected, there weren't any analog.

I don't recall anyone posting anything here about Verizon FiOS. Would/will anyone that has the service with a tuner with QAM capability, scan the system without the STB and confirm the lack of 'in the clear' channels??

I am over by Transit an Rehm. I use a Wineguard in the attic and get CBC no problem. Of course I am little closer and higher. But being inside I do notice on bad weather day it's hard to get a signal sometimes. Also every once in a while I get 44 Omni or something like that.
