Are Buckeye's clocks incorrect for anyone else? Both my cableboxes are about 15 minutes slow. Both say 6:33 a.m. when it is really 6:48 a.m.


Not only annoying, but it totally screws up the guides, planned DVR recordings, etc.


Can this be fixed?

Only by them.

Cross-posting in all contiguous markets with a VHF 13:


For anybody interested, WSYX is coming in loud and clear on UHF Channel 48 as of about noon today. VHF 13.2 is carrying a blank message telling people to re-scan.


The geek in me wonders if fringe reception of WTVG will improve once WSYX VHF 13 goes dark.

My sister uses an antenna at her house and she is about to get Fox Fort Wayne and of course all of the Toledo locals but none from Columbus. I have a small antenna that I've messed around with and I find it hard to pick up Toledo locals and I'm not even 30 miles away from Toledo but I have DirecTV so it's not really a problem. I'd like to be able to receive Columbus locals though but when I had cable we got MyTV Cleveland and The CW Detroit for some reason, even CBC Windsor.

WSYX will be turning Channel 13 off very soon. Perhaps you will be able to get Channel 13 in Toledo once they do that because our Channel 13 won't be interfering with your Channel 13?


WSYX programming is now on Channel 48. Here's how Channel 13 looks until they turn it off:

That makes sense but I also find that WTOL channel 11 is also pretty difficult to receive but again I was using a small antenna.

Hi

I am a Canadian in Kingsville-Leamington area across the lake. Can anyone clarify some points?

-we see a signal change on some toledo stations with a better signal in the afternoon and a weaker signal in the evening - are the stations changing their distribution pattern ( can you point me to the web site that shows the patterns - had it a while back but bad bookmarks get me again )

-ch24 all but impossible to get - to at least the hardest of bunch (or so it seems)


We have a directional antenna and rotor and like to watch Toledo ( also get Cleveland & Detroit very well) - since you guys keep sending us the 'good' storms. I think we might be the only part of Canada that still talks in Fahrenheit ( thanks to Toledo weather ) and not Celsius for temperature.


Saw something mentioning Toledo as #73 in USA - if you add us 'missing Cdn viewers' but we could get to at least #72 ..:)


Thanks for any help offered

Hi Greg,


I see you have taken to TV broadcasts as a hobby while we are in "bad ice" season. I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but "Industry Canada" dosen't want signals from the USA crossing the border. It is why Fox Toledo has a directional pattern. Here are the Toledo stations contours, NOTE: the signals do carry beyond the blue line and are for reference purposes. No station in Toledo is "shifting" pattern (like an AM directional array) rather you are probably seeing the result of adjacent channel and on channel interference from multiple market DMA's along with atmospheric ducting.

I need to add an additional DVR to my account with Buckeye Express. It will be my 4th. I have Pace Micros and I think the last one I picked up is a TDC-778X or something close to that. I'm using the WD My DVR Expander with that one which is 500Gig which is eSATA. This leads me to my two questions.

1) What's the latest model Pace Micro (assuming that's still what Buckeye is using) that they are releasing now for use?

2) Is it still limited to eSATA only drives and a half terabyte?

Thanks in advance.

TWC in your area dropped CBC Windsor (CBET/9) recently. Buckeye Cablevision in Toledo itself still carries CBET.

Well it was probably over a year ago now but I was actually disappointed because I occasionally watched it. Instead they replaced it with CNN Headline news which honestly makes no sense because it's a duplicate of the other CNN Headline news in the 40 channel block. I have DirecTV now so the only duplicates I have are The 101 channel placed all over the place.

Well, I got my answer as far as what they are giving out now. It's the Pace Micro TDC-787X with firmware 11.90. Considering that Pace is at 14.XX as usual, Buckeye is way behind in updating their firmwares. The fixes that Linden has listed in the Pace thread are numerous.

It appears also that the maximum is 750GB assuming you can find an external 750G eSATA only drive. That limits it to three that Linden also lists which so far all appear to be out of production and only 500GB. If anyone has had good success with a 750GB drive for the TDC-787X, please let me know what you're using.

Thanks.

Well I'm finally ditching Buckeye. They haven't added any non-premium HD channels in many, many months and I'm sick of waiting. TWC is being installed Sunday and hopefully they've gotten they're act together since I last had them 3.5 years ago. They offered me 2 HD-DVRs and 15mbps internet for for $120.75/month for the first year, then just another $5/month more after that. Sounds VERY good on paper, hopefully the HD channels don't pixellate (sp?) and the internet doesn't cut out like the last time I had it.

Time Warner Cable has a TON of HD channels, almost every one available (at least they did in the Bowling Green area). They probably have every HD channel available but I swtitched to DirecTV because I was having problems with Time Warner Cables crappy HD DVR. I'm sure they would of replaced it but I wanted to try something new.


I've still got RoadRunner though because it's always been very reliable and fast. TWCs HD channels look pretty good, I never noticed any extreme pixelization, only mild the only way to get virtually no pixelization is blu-ray. The HD doesn't look as good as DirecTVs but it's also compressed differently and it's very close.

Thx for the info. If I have to come crawling back at least I have something to look forward to.

Same here, I watched about 15 minutes of the free preview and couldn't stand it anymore.

Joy. I'm wondering if it's compressed at the source, then compressed by RedZone, and then again by Buckeye. I guess that could explain it.


It also sucks that it's only in stereo, but it's still better than paying so much for Sunday Ticket I guess.
