Any word on when WJLA will pass through the DD 5.1 signal? They finally have the HD picture fixed but it would be nice to have the audio as well.

It would also be nice if they hadn't recently erased many messages in their forum ( here ) on this topic and other DTV issues. (Apparently by error.) You might post a message there -- the wjla moderator says he forwards relevant posts to engineering at the station.

I asked a question on the WJLA General Discussion Forum as to whether WJLA had purchased the equipment for DD 5.1. No reply after more than a month. I suspect they invested only in the video equipment. I'm not aware of any testing or trials of DD 5.1 at all.


Re: whether their HD video is fully operational, I'm not aware of that either. Their reliability, especially on weekends, is not proven IMO.
