Not getting WISN 12 w/ 3510HD

It acts like the channel is going to come in but it just goes to the blank component screen.

I tried unplugging the power cord for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.  

I have all aspect selected 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i.

Was able to get WISN 12 on my SA3100HD box.

Any Insight

Thanks,
Drew

I have the exact same problem! I thought it was a signal strength problem. Now I'm not so sure. I can get this channel if I switch my TV to VCR mode and watch it through that input. I'm going a vacation in a couple days so I don't have time to call TWC. Let me know if you come up with a solution.

             Turn off the 720p setting. Then channel 512 will appear. Just tried it with mine and it works.

Does this mean that TWC doesn't truly pass along an untouched signal from ABC?  If ABC is using 720p, but TWC alters it to 1080i, we're never going to see the benefits of 720p in the sports setting.  Can anyone at channel 12 or TWC verify if this is true?

In terms of actual signal to the home, all formats remain the same.  The SA HD set top does convert everything to 1080i while the Pioneer handles things a bit differently.

just curious, does your tv accept 720p?

Hey wisconsin00

       Your post help me as well. Just made me think about it a little. That's what this forum is for. To help each other out. By the way you could have watched the NBA final in SD.
