Compliments to CBS-WISC-DT Madison

[Kevin Arnold]

Here's an "attaboy" to WISC-DT channel 50 out of Madison.  Broadcasting at near full power their signal comes roaring in here in Hartland with no breakups, sound pops, and minimal pixellation.  I watched todays Packer game on WISC. Though they do multiplex, running UPN-14 on a second channel, they SHUT DOWN the second channel during the game. I am impressed by a first class operation. I may not get Fox 6 but this more than makes up for it.

kevin,

How strong is it coming in out there?

I am on the west side of Waukesha with a pretty good view to the west.  I will try to scan again and see if I pick it up.  What type of antenna do you have up? how high?

I have an attic mounted one so that may be the problem.
Wisc dt 50 is a CBS affiliate right?

I get WISC with a strength of 88, so you shouldn't have much of a problem with a descent antenna.  I have a Winegard "superfringe" mounted on the roof at about 40 feet. And yes they are on 50.  Also check the scan for 26 (ABC) and 19(NBC).  I get Fox 11 DT also but its just SD, no widescreen.

smack,

I am also on the west side of waukesha with a good view to the west.  I would be interested to hear your results.  I currently have a fixed rooftop antenna pointing to the east.  Can you get WDJT CBS58?  I can, but it is my weakest signal.

Dan.

I really envy you guys... I would kill to see the NFL on CBS at 19.2Mbps...

out of curiousity, how much bandwidth does the UPN channel normally get? 58-1 is "usually" artifact free during normal motion TV.. I was just wondering how the two compare...

multicasting...  :rolleyes:  :bang:
