Washington, DC / Baltimore, MD - HDTV - Page 109

looking forward to checking in Manassas when I get home from work

Comcast DC also now has TBS-HD, on Channel 232. And perhaps they're getting ready for another edition up in the HD sports numbers, because they've moved the HDPPV channel from what I think was 256-ish to 230.

EDIT: Oh, wait, maybe 256ish was the HD Events channel, and HD PPV will be something new?

Got TBS HD in New Market, MD outside of Frederick,MD. Nothing else yet. Still waiting for Comcast Sports Net HD for Terps B-Ball Games and Wizards. Why do I have Comcast cable and no CSN-HD????

With all the posts here it is hard to keep track. Has TBS-HD been added to Comcast in Loudoun?

DC also got the WUSA Weather Radar (channel 203) and WJLA's Local Point (channel 205) today.

There's also a bunch more MHz channels in the 190s, and WQAW, but I can't verify that those are new today.

Now, where's Food and HGTV?

Comcast has added Food Network HD and TBS HD in Baltimore City.

Every on the web channel listing site that I have seen always has days or weeks of lag between when a lineup changes, and when the web site is updated. Here is the best place for info in my opinion.

Harford, Howard, Carroll and Baltimore Counties as well.

Yes

Zap2It and TVPlanner sometimes have channels listed early, but you can get early information here every time.

I hope we get CNN soon. Also need History and USA.

TBS is looking good! Great job so far on the Pads-Rockies coverage.

Same in Rockville. Hoping a few new channels get added in the slot between HBO and the new TBS. Also, why are they throwing channels in between HBO and Max? It seems odd that they would throw channels between the movie channels.

(Dont mistake this with a complaint, I'll take my channels how(where)ever I can get them!)

Anyone else not getting Prison Break in HD? I have Cox in Nova

Yeah no HD on WTTG OTA either. I switched to WBFF in Batlimore. They have it HD.

Good call I just swiched

Has anyone tried TBS HD via QAM? I would love to DVR 2 programs and watch the playoffs at the same time. I rescaned and TNT comes in but no TBS.

and Anne Arundel

K'Ville on Fox
WTTG HD=no; volume=normal
WBFF HD=yes; volume=low

so my TBS-HD comes in great, I had to call Comcast and they did something. But i still don't have Food-HD. Does anyone else in NoVa/DC have it?

What channel is Food HD supposed to be on?

The Baltimore City lineup at Comcast.com was updated with the new channels yesterday (Food HD and TBS HD). They are a lot faster with the updates than they used to be.

After the last video, right at midnight, it faded to black and silence like the normal transition to another video. Silence and blackness - that's how it stayed. No goodbye at all.

I don't know, that's why I'm asking. It looks like other markets got it yesterday along with TBS and a few others. I don't know why we wouldn't get it here.

Yep, TBS HD showed up on channel 232 here in Loudoun County, but I didn't see any other HD channels.

I'm having FIOS installed in Sterling on Sunday. Is there any word on when/if CSN-HD will be added? Will FIOS ever get CSN-HD?

i finally got my first plasma, and am having a hard time deciding which antenna to get for pulling in some OTA stations. I am hoping to be able to get the Baltimore, and Washington DC stations. I live in North East Baltimore City. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...wloc=addr&om=1

I would very much prefer to NOT mount the antenna outside on the house, but rather in the attic-unless it was something smaller and (fairly) attractive like the Squareshooter, that would be ok outside.

Can anyone with some Baltimore experience help me out?

thanks.

For FOX primetime shows in HD, we have no (also known as none, zip, zilch, nada, etc.) controls over the audio level. The signal does not go thru our master control - it comes out of the FOX receiver as an ASI stream, goes into the splicer (controlled by FOX), and goes to the transmitter.

I've been thinking about turning down the WBFF audio to more closely match the network audio, but I haven't gotten a "round to-it" yet...

WRC DT is another one that has low volume and not just for network programming but local also.

I agree re WRC's audio level problems, although I think their big issue is that local programming has very low levels vs. the network. I watch WRC's 11pm news, and every evening find myself desperately grabbing for the remote when they cut to the network feed for Jay Leno - "NBC - America's late-night leader!" almost blows out my speakers! It literally sounds about 2x as loud as the local news audio.

WETA-HD, at least on RCN, seems to have much lower audio levels than adjacent channels.

Hi all -

Because of the bi-annual satellite sun outages there is a good chance that the NFL games will start out as SD on Sunday. FOX has told us to use the B receiver to start out with (no HD), then switch to the A receiver (HD) after the outage on it goes away.

The thing is, according to the Intelsat sun outage calculator (http://www.intelsat.com/resources/sa...un-outages.asp), I'm not supposed to get an outage on Galaxy 3C (or Galaxy 16, for that matter) until 10/8. If I reduce the size of my antenna on the calculator from 3.7m to 1.7m, it shows that the sun outage would occur around 2:15 PM until around 2:20 PM. That means that that I would have to be on the B receiver from the beginning of the game until 2:20.
