January 1st PID Change Update - Who's Left!

[Jimboy]

Stations who haven't made the January 1st PID change yet in the Milwaukee area.

Channel 22 (30-1)
Channel 40 (55-1)
Channel 46 (58-1 or 46-1, or 1-1)

A rescan will be necessary when (or if) these stations make the required Pid change.

Don't mean to correct you Jimmy, but I recall the deadline being Feb 1st not Jan 1st.

You're thinking PSIP which starts Feb 1st.

hmm.. this could be interpreted as discouraging news for some. if WDJT hasn't come into compliance with PID numbers yet, I hope that doesn't mean they will lag behind in coming into PSIP compliance at the end of this month also. Otherwise those with HD Tivos will still be unable to receive the channel correctly without hacking their boxes.

Bump. Pids are still incorrect.

Is anyone scheduled to enforce these things?  What's the penalty if you don't have an electronic programming guide on the air now?  Thanks in advance.
