WPXE no picture and sound

[RJRobb]

Does anyone have problems receiving WPXE/55 (D40) OTA with a DVICO FushionHDTV 3 Gold Q? Receive a 100% 32.6db signal but no picture or sound.  My Dish 811 tunes it with no problem.

Thanks.

I haven't gotten a signal from them for a couple of weeks now.  I've got a Sylvania tuner, and my signal strength for their station was always around 95.  I just figured that they were having some kind of technical problems, since a full channel scan wouldn't pick them up.

I have no problem on all 3 of my receivers here in Cedarburg...in the 90's, picture and sound are fine.

Did a little checking today at the plant and found the Pids are missing for their PAT and PMT tables (PSIP Info). If you currently receive 55-1 you will continue to do so. If you delete the channel and re-scan you may lose it as I did. Some receivers will find the video/audio streams without those two tables (our Samsung SIR-T150's will) and some receivers will not. Those that don't work without PAT & PMT will see good signal strength with no picture and no sound.  The missing tables are required to be present in the stream.   :rolleyes:

Thank you, I found a pgm call tsreader lite from coolstf.com that will interpret TS streams. I now see what you mean.

My guess is that WPXE is unfamiliar with their equipment.  They haven't figured out how to put up a programming guide, heck they can't even set the clock....  It could be a while.

[RJRobb]

Yes, I noticed the guide info was missing also.  I thought they were the sister station to TMJ4.  If TMJ4 can get it right why can't they?

[StarvingForHDTV]

Perhaps it is lack of effort rather than inability or inexperience.

[AndrewP]

They just know that nobody watch that chanell

[Jimboy]

Do a re-scan on 55-1 now. They've been up to something.  :eek:
Although they're not quite done yet.

[GBK]

the way I understand it they're in the middle of putting in mulicasting.  Adding a bunch of faith programming.

[StarvingForHDTV]

Well they added a program guide.  Wow, that's a big step!  They also adjusted the date, but didn't get the time correct.  I guess this is a work in progress.  

While they are making these revolutionary  :rolleyes:  changes, might as well tweak the antenna a bit to get rid of some ghosting.....

[RJRobb]

Yup, finally have picture and sound.  Multicast channels show up, but are not tunable.
