Badger on TWC channel 541?

[lefty]

One of my co-workers said that he was able to watch the Badger game Wednesday on channel 541 on his TWC HD box.  This game was on the CBS channel 41, which is not on TW.  Was anyone else able to watch this as well?  I know it was not in HD but since UW and Marquette games are carried on 41, this would be outstanding.

Channel 41 is available on TWC (I don't know what channel as I'm a Satellite customer) but it's there.  That is one of the reasons that 58 is running multicasting as TWC receives the 41 signal off the air using 1-2 as the source.  The same goes for the HD channel from 58 as TWC receives that off the air on channel 1-1.

CBS 41 = 505 on TWC.

The correct list for the multicast CBS channels are:

CBS58 HD - 505
Ch41 - 541
Telemundo - 563 (I believe)

No...
Ch 41 is 741, Telemundo is 763

They are both sharing off-air bandwidth (19.4 Mb/s) with CBS-58HD, so the bitrate on 41/741 sometimes can not support the needs of a sports event...causing tiling and artifacts.  At times, bandwidth has been 'reallocated' by WDJT from the HD stream to minimize problems on 41.

Oppps, I forgot that these two did not move from the 700s to the 500s like the rest of the digital channels.  Shows how much I watch them :rolleyes:
