WTMJ - American Dreams dropouts

[davezen2]

I'm trying  to watch AD on TMJ tonight, but the picture is dropping in and out every few minutes... it would almost be better watching the SD broadcast. :mad:

Anyone else having this problem tonight?

You should hear my wife.  She loves the program.  Actualy you shouldn't hear her. :eek:  :mad:

Actualy you shouldn't hear her. :eek:  :mad:

LOL.. I hear you!  My girlfriend finally took the remote from me and now we're watching the SD broadcast.

This is the one thing I worry about once the whole "digital transition" is over and analog shuts down... I won't have a backup SD channel to turn to when they screw up the HD broadcast.

edit: the HD channel is now showing SD upconvert...

yeah same here I first thought it was me so I checked my antenna alignment.. usually wtmj isn't this bad if they do screw up it's usually full out :-)

Its a weather related uplink problem in New York.  They must be getting hammered.

mhz40:  Thank you for the info!

NBC moved the SD uplink to Burbank. But there is no backup HD uplink on the west coast. (Of course there should be.)
