New York, NY - OTA - Page 432

Let's just say that I heard some stories.

And yes, RTV has cleaned up its act since then and yes, I'd blame the local affiliate.


I have no idea.

I think Trip was right, it was retrotv fault, harshing back Retrotv made bad decisions first off they should find prime outlets, as for their programming, is respectable. Wsah complicated the matters by beaming only 4 hours of prime time programming if that was not enough, their interest was strictly monetary. without any care for tv audience. fcc should take away their license to broadcast. their only interest is showing informercials, which still reigns at wsah, imo wsah wasted a good opportunity to show something wotthwhile, come on wsah get it together or leave

I trust in the Trip. Now that I think about it nyc, I caught the tail end of RTV on WSAH, perhaps by then the problems had been ironed out.


You mean there's something I asked you about that you actually don't know??

I'm not all-knowing! I've never claimed to be!

- Trip

I might be talking with someone I know who hardly watches TV and yet pays Cablevision lots of bucks for TV.

My question for you folks. I may have to reccomend an antenna for her. I would recommend the one I have which is the CM4228 as she is in the same town (But she probably has a better LOS to the ESB even though she is about 2 miles west of me). However Channel Master has change this antenna. So is this still the one I should recommend or is there something better?

I would build her a Gray-Hoverman which I would if I had the time. The one I put up is doing as well as the CM4228.

Then, NO PIZZA FOR YOU!

antenna tv and rtv will have programming that appeals to the same demographic but with the tiny,possibly immeasurable ratings i doubt 1 can blow the other out the water. both will be lucky to get any cable carriage which is where they will see any ratings or money.

the "waste" from wnyw/wwor is going away very soon

Will they add any other programming or just add bandwidth to the main station?

I, also had thought the way in which Fox used its sub-channels in the NY DMA was a waste.

That was until the recent problem with 44 OTA when the station went dark.

38's feed of 44 was there and helped - albeit in SD. It did make sense then!

Well, I can't tell you how much I've learned from you and others here and I'm very grateful Trip. It's kinda like computers. Every time you learn something you realize there's so much more to learn.

Btw, here's a picture of WKOB's transmission facility.




Glad to hear this, of my 7 OTA receivers, whether running an auto channel scan or a manual add of RF38, 3 of them only map out 5-2, no 9-1!!

Glad to help.

Thanks Trip!!

More funny comments from RTV Facebook.

Paul Lawrence WKOB NYC - it back up and broadcasting in color ! audio however is out of sync bigtime. So close.... 18 hours ago

Giacomo Siffredi Perhaps you tuned in during one of the local ad inserts, Paul. The network feed remains unchanged with the distorted video and audio glitches that have existed since its debut on WKOB-LD. All I can say is that if I owned a TV station and had this crew of engineers who are supposedly "working on the issues", they would be joining the growing ranks of the unemployed. It's hard to believe this problem should take so long to correct. It has been three weeks now. Nonetheless, I will be happy if and when it ever gets fixed. 9 hours ago

Well it could have been worse, like these guys:

Considering this is an NBC affiliate, that's pretty shabby, not that NBC has much of a primetime line-up.

Are RTV paying WKOB to have them on?

Also, glad to hear that we could see sub-channel content on WNYW/WWOR other than each other's SD feed.

Wasa finally showing programing a miracle

IAVC icn YAY

What's on?

Looks like IAVC and ICN on 64-2 and 64-3. Is 64-1 still showing Infomercials or have they changed that too?

- Trip

Still infomercials.

They seem to be showing Chinese commercials. Dont know when they plan on airing this stuff but im glad. Just hope they dont show this for rest of the year

' Recently I sent one of my DVHS decks in for repair to the JVC Cypress, CA. repair facility. I just noticed they did a rescan on the built-in OTA tuner. This is what it shows.
2-1 KCBS '
Is that is OTA in California, they just show off, rightfully so

Does anyone know when they gonna start showing some programming. They been repeating the same mess since yesterday??

I have completely lost WASA. RF25 reverts to NYC 25-1 & 25-2 on all 7 of my OTA receivers. Anyone have an idea why? I'm not going to do a rescan because I have too many fringe signals memorized which I don't want to lose, and this is what happens when I do a manual add. I really don't care if I ever receive WASA anyway. Just curious why this has occurred.

Anyone notice what the Wikipedia WASA link says ...

History

This station began in 2003 as W64CW and later changed to WASA-LP in 2005. WASA airs infomercial programing 24 hours a day. The station was planned to air Estrella TV in September 2008 but it was picked up instead by a subchannel of WPIX. WASA signal usually goes off air every few minutes and then turns back on.

Many of us have wrote about this. Why would any business spend money to advertise their infomercials on a channel that shuts it's signal off and on???



Yes, it is Los Angeles, CA. You think this is rightfully so? Why?

This morning I got up early and went outside to sit on my terrace. The storm hit here at exactly 5:52AM. I can't say I've ever seen heavier rain in my lifetime. Then, (hoping I wouldn't lose power which I didn't), I checked how the wind and rain affected my OTA reception. Well, only 2 channels were not affected. ABC and WPIX, even WNET popped occasionally. Everything else was unwatchable. This is the failure of digital television. In the analog days, this never would have happened.

I'm getting WASA on 25.1 and 25.2 also( in addition to WNYE 25.1 and 25.2), even after a re-scan, so I don't know whats going on.

How far from the ESB? She'd need a VHF antenna as well, mind you which makes the combo log periodic/corner reflector-yagi antennas better to use, especially since she is LoS like you said.

Google street view has WFME:

I've passed by that place a few times.

Dying for wasa to show some damn programming. That Chinese stuff looks interesting
