Savannah, GA - HDTV - Page 74

A lot of these "Feeds" are not carried in HD. The Atlanta Falcons preseason game "Feeds" are never in HD but the FOX national coverage of a Preseason Game is always in HD.

Forgive me if this has been covered in a previous post. Does WJCL not broadcast their primetime shows in DD 5.1? All my Digital Tuner will pick up is 2 channel stereo.

Thanks.

As of now 11 and 28 DD5 ,3 and 22 are not, but it could be the program. Both 3 and 22 are not HD

WSAV with no HD tonight. That really sucks.

I called them over 30 minutes ago, still no HD. they just said it was a network issue.

I'm so glad I have an antenna, I'm watching it in HD from the Augusta Affiliate.

So much for the "network issue" excuse.

Since nobody has said anything in 10 days, I wonder if we'll get Oprah, Dr. Phil, Ellen, or Entertainment Tonight in HD, since they are all being offered in HD now. Or when will FOX28 will show us Raycom Sports SEC football in HD?

Or when we will get some CW in HD

My first time to watch WJCL HD OTA NASCAR in on ABC. The mouth is not with the words. How disappointing.

Is it just me.....or does anyone else notice WSAV HD live broadcasts of sports have ever so slight blurs, if you start noticing it can become annoying.

It's not my TV, Ive noticed on two different sets. I do have my antenna running thru my 622 Dish. I never notice this on any other networks nor do I notice it on anything but live HD sports broadcast on WSAV.

NBC has some of the worst HD going. It is not just you.

From what I've read, it's a combination of your display and the Broadcast. The Olympics, on both WSAV and WAGT out of Augusta produced really bad motion blur, most notably with Olympic Diving. Both stations have a sub channel. Watching the NBA finals on WJBF out of Augusta, with a sub channel, produced really bad motion blur when Transitioning from Graphics on the screen to the actual game play, however on WJCL this phenomena was not present. So there could be some Bit Starvation causing these issues.

Thanks rjknyy and groove93 for the response. Makes sense.

I emailed WGSA(The CW) about two weeks ago asking if they had an idea on when their shows will be in HD. This is the response I just received:

"Ch. 35 is digital and network shows are now upgraded, but will be true HD
within a few days. Tower is located at I95 and SR204"

The CW is now in HD! Somebody from a station was actually right about their time frame for HD!

DirecTV has updated the Local Channels web site and now shows October 8 as the date for Savannah local stations in HD on satellite. Here is the link.

This will be good for those of us out on the fringes where signals are spotty during the day. Of course you need DirecTV's HD package to get them.

Not to be picky, but it says October 08, not October 8th. Either way, good news

It looks like DirecTV subscribers will be getting locals in HD tomorrow. This is according to an insider on dbstalk.com. Unfortunately, it may be minus FOX.

Nothing here. Not yet, anyways.

HD Locals are now working via Direct TV!!!!!

Still nothing here. Beautiful...

Did your reboot your system to update the Guide Data?

Yep, and signals on 99s are good too. I'm stumped.

I'm assuming your have Duplicates blocked in your guide list as well.

Are they supposed to show up when I'm hiding duplicates? I didn't see them. When I left, they were only showing up in the All Channels list, but no other, and only when showing duplicates. Favorites doesn't have the option to add them. Maybe they need to populate to other channel lists.

I'll see how it looks when I get home. Thanks anyway.

I didn't have to make any changes or adjustments, they just showed up this morning. My DVR has always been set to "Hide SD Duplicates".

Do you use a Favorites list?

They are there, but if you use a Favorites list you have to manually add them. Here is my story with an HR20-100 with "Custom 1" as the Favorites list.

Formerly had all the SD feeds checked (3, 11, 22, etc.). I also have OTA capability and so had the 3-1, 11-1, 22-1, etc., channels in the list and in the guide. Today all my normal old SD locals were automatically removed from the Favorites list. I went in and edited the list to add them back. The ones that were removed were the HD feeds added today: 3, 11 and 22. My 28 and 34 and 9 favorites were still there.

Right now looks like we have ABC, CBS and NBC only with HD feeds. I have "Hide SD Duplicates" enabled, and my new HD local feeds are the plain channel numbers where the SD local formerly were. In other words, 3, 11 and 22 with no dashes or anything.

No Favorites list and after reading Bmeeks response, I am using an HR21-100 which has no OTA capability. So if you have an HR20, you may need to make the those same adjustments. I have an Antenna and I'll keep it for the Augusta Affiliates, unless someone has a workaround besides the AM21.
