Packers in HDTV After all...

[Tom Snyder]

Despite what TitanTV shows (and what I posted in another thread), the Packers Patriots game on CBS this Sunday WILL be in HD!

I was looking at the TWC guide to see if the Bears would be on HD on 506 and I don't even see a game listed at that time.  Anyone know why?

[Blitzburgh]

Does TWC carry Chicago locals?

[FiberOptic]

Where I live in Kenosha it does, not sure about other areas.  I believe I am one of the fortunate ones.  The bad thing is all our HD is the Milwaukee channels, so if the Packers are in HD in Fox I have to watch the Chicago Fox station in SD to get the Bears

[Sparkman87]

Get a digital tuner and you will get all the Chicago locals OTA with the exception of WBBM.  I have my antenna aimed at Milwaukee (In Wadsworth area) and I still get all of the Chicago locals & all Milwaukee locals OTA.

According to this map, the Bears game look like it will be the game shown here:

Thanks for the info - Sparkman, what type of antenna do you have

[Blitzburgh]

I am in Twin Lakes and can get Chicago also via OTA.

It is very easy in Kenosha to pickup Chicago OTA.
I have it here in Muskego with attic ChannelMaster 4228 in the attic :wave:

Don't know the model.  Got it, installed, at Digital Direct in Antioch.  Has a rotor, but if you're getting the Milwaukee HD OTA nets from Milwaukee, you may just want to aim it at Chicago & forget about it.  I Watch most HD nets OTA when I can though, PQ is better OTA that it is with Comcast.
