Denver, CO - OTA - Page 56  

Heres another clue for them. The would be viewers of 35 for the Masters wont be watching 35 (or 4) in that time slot regardless, if there's no Masters. And does it dawn on them that a household that would be tuned to 35 for teh golf might also be watching 4 on another set in the house anyway if somebody in the home actually wanted to see the local programming?

If they want to start playing these cockamanie games maybe I'll just quit watching 35 (4) altogether again. And just go back to watching CBS HD (and otherwise) from N.Y. on Dish.

It doesnt really make a hell of alot of difference to me, it's only television. But there are right ways and wrong ways of doing things.

Or, maybe she was mistaken and they will be passing it through. We shall see.

Dan,

I, for one, hope she is wrong and I will be home at 2:00 to see for myself. I will report back then if no show is on!

Jeff

Yeah I'm at home too Jeff, at least til 2:30 or so, then I have to step out for a bit.

Actually I have intrigue on several fronts. Not just 35 but also Evu. Bob Hess in the Boston thread said they're definitely passing the HD through, but gotta make sure someone is on the ball at Evu to show it.

Then the CBS HD feed on Dish from N.Y. which you'd also believe has to be showing it, happens to be listing local programming on Dish's EPG.

"HDTV... it's not just Pretty Pictures, it's an Adventure!"

What did you find, Dan? Any HD Masters anywhere? (fingers crossed!!)

well, it;s a soap. What unbelievably innovative programming for the Denver area.

Jeff

The Masters is being broadcast on KCBS (Los Angeles) right now - channel 9454 on Dish (off of 148). Don't know about WCBS out of New York. I'll be home tomorrow watching KCBS, and definitely NOT KCNC!

I just sent them a nasty gram on there web site.

This is totally unacceptable.

Does anyone have the e-mail address of the guy we meet at KCNC during the tour. He said that he wanted to here any feedback that we had for them. I think this is something that needs to be brought to his attention.

Unbelieveable. I'm only getting it on one of the 3 sources I mentioned above. But I wont say which one because it would be "un-american" if you get my drift.

But that one will make mknoebel happy.

Joe
David Layne is the station engineer. That means he most likely does not have any part in this programming decision. His email is:
Email: dlayne@cbs.com

but I would caution you not to let him have it, since it probably was not his call. I would suggest you write him a letter and ask him to forward it to the programming office and station manager.

Dan
It certainly is ironic that people north of the border have better access to American HDTV than the American's do.

Ok, sometime in the last few minutes KCNC switched to the HD feed. Better late than never.... I guess.

Yup!

Obviously they are reading the forum!

Thanks KCNC, now if only I was at home to watch it.

I got home about 3:45 and started watching on KCBS. At 4 I switched over to KCNC, and there it was! I never heard back from Bob Ross - wonder if the decision to show it on KCNC was because of us, or because CBS corporate got involved. Regardless, it looked great, except for some minor pixellation from time to time. I'm taking tomorrow off, so I'll get to watch the whole thing! Woohoo!

To steal a line ( paraphrased ) from John Cleese in A Fish Called Wanda, I apologize most sincerely and without reservations to KCNC. I withdraw and regret any and all things I said, wrote and thought about their personnel today and at any time in the past.

Thank you KCNC for showing us the Masters on 35 in HD! I, too switched over around 4:00 and watched the rest, including the bonus coverage until 5:30 or so. Thank you again KCNC.

Jeff

Very cool KCNC, very cool.
Thanks for listening and responding so quickly.

Bummer, I ended up missing it. I checked around 3:00 and it wasn't on. Got mad and when out and turned on the sprinkler system. I even worked from home so I could watch it yesterday.

Won't get to see it today, I came into the office. Now I am really bummed.

Just a reminder as all of you plan for next week that the 16th is the day of the meeting at Jeffco on the Lookout Towers. As you have friends come over this weekend to see the Master's, don't be shy about prodding them to come on Tuesday to support the cause as well. "The more the merrier."

The program Spirit of Colorado "Wild & Crazy" will be fed in HD on Saturday, April 13 at 19:30(MT) on KRMA-DT 18.

This will be coming from tape LOR-606.

-John

Thanks for the heads up, John.

I heard a short interview on KBCO this morning with the producer(?) of "Wild & Crazy", talking about a segment on the Kinetics race. I wondered if it would be in HD. Should be interesting.

There was no audio at all on KMGH earlier tonight...I made the phone call to them, and after going through the news department, talked to the engineering department, and voila! audio. Apparently they had forgotton to "flip the audio switch" so to speak.

Is anyone picking up a signal from KDVR (ch 32) tonight? I can't get even a blip from them, when usually I get signal in the 70's by adjusting my antenna.

I just checked KDVR - nothing here.

-Mike

I've sent emails to all of the local stations asking when HD would be available here and the only response that I got from the CBS station was some clown telling me that they filed for an extension with the FCC to postpone sending out a digital signal. I've checked WWW.TITANTV.COM and still can't get an answer!!! Frustrating to say the least!! Does anyone know, or even heard a rumor about HD coming to our neck of the woods?

KDVR was also off yesterday afternoon. I tried to show someone over to watch the Master's what Fox SD DTV looked like in comparison to CBS HD, and got a black screen. I never tried again after yesterday afternoon, but they may have been down all weekend. Guess that shows how many folks are watching their DTV. It does prove that when you have 'actual HD' content such as CBS, people will watch your channel. Too bad Rupert doesn't know that.

I called KDVR last night about 7:30 after posting here and tried to talk to their engineering dept. Funny thing, though, the news dept guy I talked to said that there wasn't anyone working in the engineering dept. last night. What, they don't work Sunday nights? They have everything so automated, that there doesn't need to be anyone there watching it?

Also didn't get to watch Alias in HD...the KMGH guys told me that ABC neglected to send the audio signal with the video during the feed, so they had to send the SD upconvert.

Who's going to be at the meeting tomorrow night? At this point, I'm planning on attending.

What time is the meeting 6 or 7 ?

Project Name: Lake Cedar Group Consolidation Proposal
Address of Project: 21119 Cedar Lake Road
Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2002
Meeting Time: 7PM -9PM MDT
Meeting Place:Jefferson County Courthouse (aka Taj Mahal)
                        100 Jefferson County Parkway
                        Golden, CO 80419


I'll be there.

I am going to try my best to be there, however, at work I have an all day oral presentation to the customer for a new proposal that I must attend, and they often spill into the evening. Since this is the job I use to pay for all those 'toys' I have at home, it will have to take precedence if it runs late. I sure hope our turnout approaches the level of the last two get togethers at KRMA and KCNC.

Got it...Thanx Ron.....

Does anyone know if you can receive HDTV in Castle Rock from Denver, Colorado Springs, or Pueblo broadcasts?

Thanks!

HD

Hello Haylee's Dad, and welcome aboard!

First of all, there are no digital broadcasts coming from the Springs or Pueblo yet. And I haven't heard any updates in a long time from the status of the CoSpgs stations.

As for Denver signals, it depends on where you live. If you live high on a hill with a reasonably unobstructed view of Denver, and a really large antenna, you *might* be able to pick up KRMA and KCNC. Almost certainly you could get KDVR, but as you know if you've done any reading at all, Fox isn't broadcasting anything in HD. If you're behind a hill, or down in a valley, I'd say your chances are pretty much nil. Good reason for you to join us at the open house meeting tomorrow night at the Jeffco county building to argue for the tower on Lookout. That's probably your only hope at this point. Sorry to be a downer...
