Will any of the NFL Playoffs be broadcast in HDTV?

[Gregg Lengling]

I know let's have a Quizno's tail-gate party...we can bring either Pat's or my computer and pick a display and set it up in their parking lot.  I'm sure if we buy the sandwiches from Quizno's they'll let us plug into an outlet so we don't have to use a generator or Inverter.  Of course we could pick anyplace within 3 blocks of there, it doesn't have to be right across the street from the antenna.....

I might be able to get a projector for the day. Otherwise its the 19" Glass and the 17" Panel. The HD shows up on the 19", but ther is a good picture on the panel.

Packers will be on ABC this Saturday night at 7pm.

HD or no? Is there a listing out there that will let us know if it will be broadcast in HD?

[mr_yeti]

My guess would be not, although it would be a nice suprise...

Also, there are pretty good listings at:

Glad to see that bunch of losers isn't playing on Sunday to ruin another Alias HD broadcast. They must have been too afraid to face the Pats again so they threw the game against the Jets.

Come on now, they won 12 games this season. That's pretty good compared to how terrible they were in the 80's.

I posted that schedule this morning.  Just happened to see the other thread first.

willieG-- At 75 miles, it's going to be tough I think.  Best have an unobstructed view for the antenna, and it would help to not have any terrain between you and the horizon.

That and a tailwind, you just might make it!

Let us know if you do!  In Waukesha I have not gotten any Chicago, but do get Madison (just not FOX there).  Others from Muskego have had luck though.

Just a thought...within the past two months, I've noted that FOX 32-1 has boosted their power significantly as I now receive that station from Chicago at a constant 100 on my Toshiba STB.  I live 53 miles from the transmitter so I'm thinking that those of you who live in southern Milwaukee Co may now be able to receive 32-1.  It's worth a try as they are the strongest Chicago station by far at my house.  I also note that in the past few days, the Chicago radio stations are running a commercial from Channel 2-1 (CBS) stating, "We've just raised our antenna 132' higher and boosted the power - tune us in and enjoy our new digital channel".  I've not yet done a scan...maybe Rees has.  Perhaps us folks in Racine/Kenosha will have a new CBS affiliate to watch as 1-1 is so sporadic down here.  Rees, I know you have a great OTA antenna - can you let us know if 2-1 is now available to us given all the commercials they are running on the radio, boasting their new transmitter?  Thanks.

I took a peek at both 2-1 and 32-1 and I there is good and bad news.  The good news is 32-1 (Fox) is just stomping into Racine.  I have to agree with JohnRacine that their signal is very good.

You guys in Milwaukee should take a peek at 32-1.  It has to be better than 6-1.

The bad news is I still do not receive 2-1.  However, in the next day or so, temperatures will be increasing which may improve the tropospheric ducting.  This is nerd talk which means we may be able to receive it better.  Summer months are always better for long distance radio/tv reception on vhf as well as uhf.  So, I will be peeking in on digital 2-1 (real channel 3) to see if we see any signs of it.

Thanks for the info John.

Greg, have you tried to get Fox 11 from Madison? Comes in very clear here in Hartland. Problem is they have no widescreen capabilities.

[Greg Oman]

Not recently, although nothing there that I see now.  11 may be a bit low frequency wise for my setup, I've only got a UHF antenna now.  Strange that I can get WMVS here though on 8-- probably the power level factor.
