No signal on TWC 505?

Can someone explain why I am not getting any picture or sound on TWC 505?  I am receiving all the rest of the TWC HD feeds (504, 506, 510, 512) but 505 is just black.  :bang:

Channel 58 decided to use their HD bandwidth to offer multicasting instead of a higher quality picture on their primary feed.  

Customers of Charter Cable have their choice of which game to watch in SD.  Customers of TWC only get the primary game in lower quality on channel 08.

I just hope they are using 505 tomorrow for the Marquette game.

I'm new at all this, so be patient with me.  I think some of the posts in other threads are making sense now.  But let me see if I understand...

The only people who could receive the multicast are people with HD receivers and TV's, right?

It appears to me that CBS 58 thinks the reason we have this type of equipment is to watch 2 different games, a spanish channel and TV41 than to see one incredibly awesome HD picture which I've spent thousands of dollars trying to capture?

Wake up and smell the coffee Jim Hall.  BAAAAAAAAAD choice!:mad:
