Looks like we can expect more of the same from CBS 58

Tom:

I'm sure that is the case - money rules.  It's frustrating - I wish there was a way to make CBS feel our pain rather than just a chat board.

I am still shocked that their "primary game" is not on their digital channels at all.  So the only way to see Marquette and Wisconsin will be on analog TV?

Wow.  IF that is true (and I still don't believe it will be true tonight), CBS will have set back TV 10 years....

I just submitted a complaint to CBS58. Afterwards the screen showed a few adds, including this one:

At about 5:55 PM 58.1 suddenly came to life, showing the end of the CBS News. Maybe they see the error of their ways.

If you would have seen my posts in the other thread, I said all along that CBS 58 would broadcast Wisconsin and Marquette in HD and then return to multicasting following those games.

They just ran a crawl on ch. 5 to make that official.

58 might be listening!

6:05 PM

58-1 (46-1DT) is up and showing hdtv feed.
58-2 = WMLW
58-3 = slideshow screen
58-4 = off
58-5 = off

Too little, too late.

They already missed 2 HD games today.  Let's just pray they stay HD for the rest of the evening.  Minimize the pain at least.

I just changed to 58-1 and all I see is a black screen.

Maybe they blacked me out OTA!  :rolleyes:

I only get it when typing "46-1" on remote.

Marquette in HD with multicast during day is fine for me.

I just saw a banner run along the bottom of the Ohio State game that said the Marquette game will be in HD (no multicast during the game) and then the Multicast will be back on at the conclusion of the MU game.

Maybe I should have bought the DirecTV package so I could get all games in HD.

Same here.  58-1, 58-2, 58-3, 58-4, and 58-5 all show black screens.  I tried tuning to ML58 on D* and it was showing the damn Ohio St. game.  It's 6:23 right now, and tuning to D*58 finally has Marquette on, but it looks horrible.

Where the hell is the game?  There is NOTHING on 58-1! :bang: :bang: :bang:

looks great from CBS 58


type 46-1

typing 58-1 doesn't do it

[NDP1623]

Same here, black screen on all channels.  Tried to rescan locals and still brought up 58-03, 04, 05.  When I put in transponder 46 it gives me 90% signal but cant lock on.

IT's weird - I can't get the 58 digital channels to come in through the HR10-250 D* box (even though they did all day and ALL the other digital channels are coming through).

BUt I can get it directly from the antenna.  I'm thinking that with the switches CBS-58 is doing to multicast and then do HD, it somehow confused the TIVO box???

Nothing on 46-1.

Edit, seems that 58-1 is back online.
