Fox 33

[xdew]

I'm able to recieve channel 33 Fox but it is not widescreen or hi def is this the way it should be? I have noticed the words widescreen on some of there programing but I just seem to get the same picture that I get on channel 6 has anyone else noticed this?

Congratulations, your one of the few. What's your location so we can tell how far Fox 33's mighty midget signal is reaching. As for content, I suspect 6 has just put the signal up with an upconvert of their regular signal. Probably haven't purchased/installed the necessary equipment to retransmit Fox's Fabulous Enhanced Definition Widescreen (TM) effort. Translated - Fox 6 has done the absolute minimum to comply with the law and is doing nothing more. This means you'll be able to get channel 6 without any ghosts.

What kind of antenna do you have? And what HD decoder/Set-top box are you using?

Hey, guys.

I moved the topic to the 'Tech' forum ...

Anyway, I'm in the Falls, xdew, and am getting FauX consistantly, without drop-our or issue.

The quality of the pic, on the other hand ... it's just 480p.

Where are you in the Falls ?

I'm located on the Falls,Brookfield border at the southeast end. I have a RCA DTC100 but I'm not sure of the type of antenna, its an indoor outdoor mounted in the attic I think channel master brand.
