CBS got hijacked by TV41???

[bigcheeshead]

This has gotta be the weirdest thing.  I turned on my TV today and instead of the usual high def CBS JAG I'm getting TV41 at almost hundred percent reception on 1-1 and 58-1.
I doubled checked my antenna and it's pointing in the right direction, and Milwaukee ABC, NBC and PBS are coming in just fine.  
   Whats strange is that the program guide and channel info shows up as CBS but I think that maybe coming from DirecTV.
   I even rescanned the channels and I'm still seeing 41.
  Anyone else experiencing this with OTA?

Hey TV41, whoever you are, GET OFF THE AIR I need my daily high def fix

Sounds like this may be the answer:

I had a similar situation with my receiver as well.  In my case, I have two antennas, one pointed toward Milwaukee and the other at Chicago, and I manually switch them with an A-B type switch.  Just the other day, when tuning into channel 58-1, I realized that the switch had me pointing to Chicago, so when I switched it to Milwaukee, I found myself watching Telemundo (58-3) while tuned to 58-1.  It happened another time when TV-41 popped up instead of 58-1 when delaying the switching of antennas to the Milwaukee one.  In both cases, retuning to 58-1 by getting off the channel and returning corrected the issue.

I just figured that my Hughes box was getting lost while it had no signal strength.   Sounds like CBS58 could also be doing some things that make the channel mapping a little less stable.  I don't think it has anything to do with Directv though.

We apologise again for the fault in the signals. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

It looks to me that the configuration of the mux has went south.  I would like to think that they will have it fixed sometime Thursday.  Ch 41 belongs to the Ch 58 family.

:bang: It's Thursday and channel 41 is still all over the place and no CBS HD.  Any info?

I've noticed channel 10-1 (MPTV) has been running some unusual programming as well... not what was scheduled.  For instance, the Bob Hope special which was scheduled for 9 to 10 pm tonight (Thursday) was replaced by some other programming.  And on Wednesday they were running the same children's program on 10-1 and 10-3 during prime time.

Could this be related to the CBS problems  I was under the impression that there were one or two stations that are using the same tower.
