Ota Fox, Wb, Upn

[Kovu]

Howdy, I'm new here and new to the HD world.

I can currently get all the HD channels that Milwaukee has to offer, but I'm wonderin when FOX, UPN, WB will be hittin OTA HD here?  

From what i've read the only way to get FOX is to attempt to pick up the Chicogo Fox station.

Fox: Summer/Fall '03 for most, If next door to Fox station: Now: if CableHD: Now

UPN/WB: Summer/Fall 3003

WB is here now actually, but it's unclear if they are actually airing HD material, or if they are just airing regular progamming on the DTV signal.  Smallville is on now, and it's supposed to be HD.  Anyone tune it to see if it is?  I'm at work so I can't...

[Tom Snyder]

No HDTV Smallville...

[Gregg Lengling]

Nope everything on 18 and 24 Digital is all upconverted 480i 4:3...nothing that was unexpected........
:bang:

Give them another 6 years and maybe....16:9 480p.....
:bang:

Ugh, that's weak.  I really wanted to see Angel in HD.  Has anyone contacted WB18 to find out what their schedule tword hd actually is?

If anyone is looking for answers to what 18 & 24 are doing why not phone them yourself at 442-7050 and ask for Program Director if this in regards to programming, or a Engineer concerning info regarding their DTV equipment?

  I am sure if you ask the right people they would be more than happy to answer your questions.  When WVTV was owned by Gaylord Broadcasting during the mid 80s I use to call them up and talk personally with the engineer regarding upgrades and at the time they increase power and added stereo.  The gentleman I talked to was friendly.  I'm not sure about today as I assume with being a Sinclair station it isn't the same staff when it was Gaylord.


  If anyone does phone them and finds out further info regarding HDTV broadcasts, please feel free to share it with us here.
