Anyone else lose WB 18-1 the last few days ? I have never had a problem with them or the signal....but now it seems my box can not lock on to a signal.
Anyone else ?

I had to do a reset/rescan on my HD recorder this week and 18-1 no longer appears in my channel list either.  No idea why, but you're not alone.

Just did a check of PSIP and Encoder settings and everything looks normal. Transmitter is also on the air with no changes in its operation. I did a rescan on my USDIGITAL box at home (replacing existing channel lineup) and it found 18-1 again.
My guess would be a reception problem.  My reception has been a little iffy on channel 61 latley but only due to the fact my antenna points east towards the lake so I can get 6-1 in.  This compromises my ability to receive 10-1 / 22-1 / 18-1.  Once 6-1 goes full power I can aim my antenna towards the towers.

Channel 18 and everyone else on their tower, were off last night as WE Energies had to switch out a transformer.  Perhaps 18 had some other work to do in preparation.

The transformer replacement was for channel 18 (analog) and its tower/building.

I did a re-scan and I am still getting nothing. I am getting a little worried as Smallville is just around the corner. My signal strength meter says I am getting a solid signal....much more than FOX in fact, but I am still not getting a picture or sound.

Just reset all PSIP settings....try a re-scan again.
What receiver are you using?

I have a Samsung TS360. I will try a re-scan again tonight.
