is the adapter the same as a "cablecard" ? I am not sure what this looks like.

I don't know that, but I know it doesn't tune switched digital delivered channels.

For people in the Ral/Durham market that can receive WITN 7 from Washinton/Greenville area. WITN has built a new studio in Greenville. The station just started running on air signal thru the new studio. They have launched 3 full time channels. WITN 1 NBC HD, WITN 2 My Network TV and WITN 3 Me TV.

News production will soon move over to the new studio and they will be full HD with its news.

WITN has a blowtorch signal on 32, so many of you in Wake, Harnett, Cumberland, Johnston, Franklin counties should see it if you have a good outdoor setup.

Wow, that's a pretty good hall. Is WITN a regular catch in VA Beach? How about other NC stations? I would think that It would easier for you to get NC stations than it would be for us to get VA stations around here because of the FCC tower height limits in VA.

The warm weather is creating some good DX conditions. I usually scan between 93.3 and 94.3 on my car radio to keep from using up a preset and all day it has been stopping on 93.7 WNOB, so I'm not surprised he's seeing our market as well.

Really don't check too much like I use to. I did point the antenna that way to see if I could get them. Rescanned this morning and got WITN, WNCT and WUNK/Greenville... Antenna is in the attic...

The TV stations really under estimate their coverage. All they care about is if people in their survey can get their channel. I wish stations would put up information about the correct way to install antennas and pre-amps to hook up a whole house network to OTA. They would get more viewers I believe. I am the proof that a properly installed outdoor antenna will get channels at long distance.

I wish I had checked WITN before the NBC football games last weekend. I believe our NBC station is using some older encoders...

Is anyone else having issues with WTVD sound over TWC? Last week during a few shows including during Last Resort they lost the center channel completely, blanking about 3 or 4 minutes of dialog. Since then, I seem to be getting a stereo mix instead of 5.1.

Anyone having OTA signal quality issues with WRDC 28.1? My signal quality has really decreased (20-30 points) in the last couple of weeks.....also seems to be worse at night.

All of the other stations broadcasting from the Garner Antenna Farm come in fine.....I live in Clayton....only 9 miles from the transmitters.

Chuck,

It's probably atmospheric conditions. I have been picking up WRDC stronger than any other station from this area lately, including last night. You probably are being overloaded with signal during these good conditions for DX.

I experienced the same dropout during Last Resort last week. I don't know about the stereo mix.

I had audio dropouts on dialog (center channel) a couple of times during Last Resort last week also. I was actually talking about it in the Last Resort thread.

I was watching via Dish (not OTA)... if it happened on Time Warner as well... then I lean towards it being a WTVD issue and not a transmission one from either Dish or Time Warner.

Anyone notice trouble picking up WRAY 30? I have not had a signal from them in several days and others report the same thing on the Greenville thread.

Yes, my signal completely disappeared several days ago.....went from 60's-70's to zero.....

Wasn't sure if they had possibly changed frequencies or were having transomission problems.

I live in Clayton.

I did a rescan yesterday and it totally disappeared. They must be having transmitter problems.

I still don't have the channel either.

They must be at very low power. It has never been a good signal for me so any drop would kill it. At Youngsville you are near the tower site in Spring Hope.

This is slightly off topic but do any of the local ISP's support Netflix Super HD yet?

I am not sure but I recently setup a 105" screen and I am quite impressed with heir streaming quality! It starts off as crap but within a minute or two it looks better than 720p!

You can check by going here: https://signup.netflix.com/superhd

I know TWC does not yet support it so I am looking for options. Having super HD also means you can do netflix 3d streaming.

Suddenlink has joined i believe. Not in Raleigh proper but they do serve Nash and Edgecombe counties in the Raleigh DMA.

Thanks for the link. I am not getting superhd. But I must say even on my 105" screen using a 1080p projector from 10 feet away it looks quite good. Better then DVD!
