Since the Red Tower thread was several hundred pages and two years old, I have started this new official thread. Please post all comments related to Birmingham, AL (and surrounding areas) digital television issues here.

Hey all -
I'm over in the Trussville area, off of Chalkville Mtn Road a couple miles from 59. I get great reception with Fox, PBS, CW, CBS, and UPN. However, I get absolutely nothing digital from ABC. I do not have an outdoor antenna as I live in an apartment, but as mentioned all of the other channels come in perfectly.
Any tips on coaxing that ABC HD signal to come through solidly through my antenna? Should I reposition something? Etc, I'd love any help regarding this.
Thanks!

Hi
New poster here!
I am getting NBC13 via DISH and all seemed well but I have noticed on the HD channel I get sporadic and quite often black outs. The video just .....well, skips or drop frames or something that's hard to explain. It for a blink just goes black.
On the SD channel it's fine and I do not see this on any other channel but the NBC from B'ham and in HD only.
Friday Night lights had what seemed like one every minute or so and it's annoying to say the least.
Last night I noticed it replaying ER so tonight I knew to check FNL 'live' to be sure it was not a recording issue. I was recording via duel tuners both CBS HD and NBC HD at 8 PM and the CBS HD (Moonlight) looks fine, no skips or video issues but Friday Night Lights was like ER was last night with blackouts like flashes. I also had my old 522 recording friday night lights on the SD channel and it's perfect from start to finish.
I hope it's a temporary fluke but I have had HD since feb 96 with the DISH 622 and I have seen a lot but this ones new to me and I can't make the other HD channels on that spotbeam do this 'blackout' effect.....confused!
Thanks and if anyone else has seen this yell
Tiger

Any news at all on the possibility of Charter coming to an agreement with the Big Ten Network? If they do come to an agreement, would it be picked up here?

FYI,
HD OnDemand is now available from Charter. It can be found in in the upper 900's.

Here is a link with some info on Charter's position. http://www.charter.com/visitors/general.aspx?ownerid=10
I think Charter will stand firm and will not add the Big Ten Network to the expanded basic lineup.
