Just a heads-up for antenna users- plan to rescan your TV tuners on October 18th because several local stations are switching frequencies that day.

Along with WISN 12 and Justice Milwaukee, WVTV, WDJT, WPXE, WITI and WTMJ will also move to new frequencies on October 18th:

Please pass this news on to your friends who also use antennas.

As I'm sure everyone has noticed, things have been very quiet here.  I suppose it's somewhat to be expected, since the DTV transition has come and gone.  Even though it is quiet, I have no intention of shutting things down. 

I do welcome any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, etc people may have however on how to liven things up though.  It would still be nice to see more activity here.

While looking at the FCC database I noticed that all of the Milwaukee full-power television stations have applied for a power increase.

5  WIWN 48 kW
8  WMVS 70 kW
27 WVTV 1000 kW
28 WISN 1000 kW
29 WDJT 1000 kW
30 WPXE 1000 kW
31 WITI 1000 kW
32 WTMJ 1000 kW

The frequency (analog channel) changes and power increases don't take affect until October 2019.

The CBS one is probably WFRV in Green Bay.. 

One of my tivos seemed to die.

Attic antenna coax was connected directly to tv.  Channel scan.  All Milwaukee ota came in perfectly like always.  But i was also getting cbs on 5-1.  And i believe a fox on 7-1 (may have been ABC) Anyone know what affiliates these are

I simple reboot may fix this too.  After the speed increase takes place on the backend, sometimes its necessary for the modem to reboot to see the new profile

Are you testing speed on a wireless device? 

First thing Spectrum is going to ask you to do is .. plug in a laptop into the cable modem directly .. chances are, you'd need to reboot the cable modem .. then run your speed test.

If your wired speed test is OK .. you'll know the router (or your wireless device) is the issue.

And try a few different ones .. Speedtest.net or openspeedtest.com are my preferred sites.

Your best bet is going directly to the netgear site for info on your model router.
Eliminate the middleman and miscommunication.

NETGEAR Wireless Router - N300 (WNR2000)

That's my router.  I logged in tonight but couldn't seem to find the settings, how do I check/change. 

The MB speed is set for up to 150. 

Does your router have QOS or other settings defining what is being rec'd.
When i went from the old TW 30M service to Spectrums 100M i had problems with my speeds also.
Turns out i needed to update the settings in my router to reflect the increased speeds. Acts like a governor  and limits your speed till you set up the new parameters.
Once i did that have been getting full 100M service!
