What is the next Fow Widescreen show?

[borghe]

Just wondering if anyone knows off hand what the next Fox Widescreen show is to air? Figure even though the picture quality is bad I might as well take a look at how Fox Widescreen looks. Time to take the RS DBT outside again...

Fox News Sunday has been reported be in Wide Screen... Sunday Mornings at 9:00

I couldn't tell ya...  Fox 6 apparently doesn't want me as a viewer (or anyone else with a digital TV that lives outside of the 13 x 3 footprint of their monster signal.

Well, liek I posted in the tech forum.. The only way I can get a watchable signal is if I take my RS DBT outside, so don't feel too bad. Not very feasbile in the cold winter months.

Tried watching Macolm in the Middle... did Fox 6 pass through the EDTV signal?? Of course not, even though the first episode of Malcolm even had the Fox Widescreen logo right on it. Fox 6 can't help but screwing up.

Wow do you live in Brown Deer..no I see you're in Tosa...but gee somebody can actually receive the peanut signal.  but why if they aren't programming anything other than NTSC 480I.....

I get a solid 51-58 on their signal when I stick my RS DBT on the porch outside. But like you say, why when all their doing is sending a crappy version of their analog signal?? Needless to say I'm firing off another email.

Here is my email I sent off to Fox 6:

After having months of troubles obtaining a strong enough signal on your DTV broadcast, this week I was able to finally get a watchable signal. Interested in seeing some of Fox's widescreen, albeit standard definition, programming I was displeased to find you are not passing that through. In specific, I was curious as to why Malcolm in the Middle on Sunday night was not in Widescreen, particularly when the logo for Fox Widescreen was shown at the beginning. It is frustrating to work so hard to obtain your signal only to be met with no benefit whatsoever? Do you plan on running at full power and passing through Fox's EDTV broadcasts at all in the near future?
