Washington, DC / Baltimore, MD - HDTV - Page 436

When I was last sent data on WQAW in November, it was in 4:3 SD.

Thanks. Are there subchannels?

There were, but none of them were airing anything besides either color bars or a "this channel is for lease" slide.

WUTB-DT 24-2 is now broadcasting Bounce TV.

I did a rescan but I did not detect a 24-2 subchannel. Is this information correct?

If you were already getting 24.1, 24.2 should automatically add to your channel list. (It's the same channel, just now divided into 2 streams) What brand TV are you using?

how do we get Verizon to add Bounce (9.2) to their lineup?

Hello, all.

Question: Did any Comcast subscriber lose the NFL Network HD, Channel 246?

Some time in the late afternoon/early evening of March 19 I lost the NFL Network. During a live chat, a Comcast rep stated that the NFL Network was available as part of some sports package. Numerous other channels were part of that package -- channels that I was not receiving. The rep seemed perplex at how it was possible that for several years I was receiving the NFL Network yet not these other stations. Furthermore, the rep could offer no definite explanation as to why I lost the channel yesterday -- as opposed to last week, last month, last year.

Might anyone have some insights?

Thanks,
Lex

When you get that figured out and you actually are able to reach someone at Verizon, please ask Verizon to correct several other errors, omissions, and anomalies on the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia channel lineup, including:

1. WQAW-LD, Azteca America, on Channel 27, has not been given a name or program description. For months, it has been listed as, "Program Information Not A...", and it is not listed in the channel menu. Please ask Verizon to correct this anomaly.

2. WHUT-HD is a full time 1080i HD channel. Verizon carries WHUT-HD as an HD channel on the SD tier. Please ask Verizon to move WHUT-HD from Channel 470 on the SD channel tier to Channel 532 on the HD channel tier, where it belongs.

3. WNVC and WNVT broadcast a total of 10 channels OTA on 30.1 through 30.10. Verizon only carries eight of them on 451 through 458. Two of WNVT's channels, 30.9 and 30.10 are not carried by Verizon. Please ask Verizon to add these two WNVT sub-channels.

Thanks, and of course, good luck!

This station is not listed with TMS (Tribune Media Services). Almost all cable/sat/IPTV providers use TMS for their Onscreen Guides... zap2it.com is owned by Tribune...

As usual the CSR does not know what he is talking about - I have digital preferred service and get the NFL Network on channel 246. The NFL Redzone is the channel that is part of the sports package.

Hello all, I have not visited this thread in ages, I had to create another account becuase of some rule changes here.

Anyway I changed my set up and not have a antenna rotor (remote controlled) and uhf antenna collecting dust, it anyone wants it (free) contact me @ carlin5150@yahoo.com
I am in annandale va 22003. I wanted to give back somthing to the community that has served me so well over the years.

I have just sent you an email. Thanks..

WRC filed for Special Temporary Authority to operate at lower power into a different antenna at the site while a new transmitter is connected to the regular antenna. Temporary operations will be 291 kW @ 159 meters vice 813 kW @ 242 meters starting Wednesday for no more than 30 days.

Ouch. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like I should switch my recordings from 4 to 11. Thanks!

Paul, please accept my apology for this tardy thank you. I had some computer issues -- but that's a story for a different forum.

Returning to the matter at hand, oddly enough I have Digital Starter and was receiving the NFL Network. The only thing unusual about my situation is that one of my cable boxes is clamshell and connected to a non-hd tv; whereas the the tv that was receiving Channel 246 was an hd-tv, connected to an HD cable box.

This experience has left me wondering if I am receiving other channels that I shouldn't be. Why, a few months ago I lost CMT. Yet, this last week I noticed that I picked up C-Span3. Curiouser and curiouser.

Anyone here using ClearQAM? All my channels except 32_1 (WHUT-HD) went away recently. I've tried scanning from two different TV tuner cards. I get a bunch of garbage channels.

Oh joy!
I can barely get WRC as it is here in Germantown. Will the new transmitter make it easier to get than pre-lower power?

Maybe I'm not posting in the right thread...

Could someone with Comcast please check to see if they are still able to receive ClearQAM channels. If so, which system/modulation are you using? Cable HRC and 64/128/256 modulation yields only 32_1 for me.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmmm. Sounds like you have "Five Finger" Comcast Cable service else you would be calling them? Correct? Don't think there is a thread for stealing Cable.

Brilliant assumption, moron.

I am a paying customer with Comcast, but their technical support is horrendous. It's so painful getting them to do anything correctly (ex: trading in a Pace STB for a Motorola so it would work with my HD-PVR), that I figured it would be worth asking on here.

So... the question still remains.

Can anyone verify that ClearQAM channels are still working correctly for them? I can only receive WHUT (32_1) at the moment.

3 posts in 3 days with no help probably means no one else is having this issue. This comes to mind:

"Insanity - doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results."

So who's the moron?

This thread has nowhere near the number of people who used to post here and those that do probably don't read it on a daily basis. That's no reason to call those asking for help names. As a former Comcast customer who also tuned in QAM channels, I understand the futility of asking Comcast customer service about QAM channels. I had better luck contacting engineering at one of the stations when I lost its QAM signal. Cable company customer service usually doesn't know about QAM or doesn't want to admit that it exists because they'd rather rent you extra set top boxes.

You got it wrong buddy. He called me a moron in post 13072:

Only after you called him a thief by (falsely I'm sure) accusing him of stealing cable service. Not a very friendly way to greet a new member.

I don't think he's a thief and I don't think you or he is a moron or insane. He came here for help. You jumped to a conclusion. He reacted. You reacted. I reacted.

I'm gonna chill.

E55 KEV has some sand in his vagina.

Spot on, brother. Amazing how asking for help in here means I'm a thief, and asking more than once means I'm an idiot. This guy is a real piece of work. Ohh, and his web site looks like GeoCities circa 1995.

You got very thin skin! I was joking about stealing cable. I actually tried to help as I checked out Comcast QAM but found no problems. Then you continue to call names (vagina - that's funny) and bash my website like I care what you think. What's my website got to do with anything?

My Comcast QAM works great! How about yours?

I have a question (may be little OT)

If you have (only) internet from comcast, is it (/not) legal to connect your TV to get the un-encrypted channels?
I would love to do it if it is legally allowed..
