has WB18 been down??

[borghe]

The past few days (through last night, haven't checked today) WB18-DT has been down. Last night was EXTREMELY annoying as we missed the premiere of Everwood in HD.. I had to download it from suprnova... :bang:

so is the transmitter down or something? Is it back up? Is it just me? WILL THINGS BE OK BY NEXT WEDNESDAY!!!!!?!?!?!?

anyone (especially jimboy) feel free to comment...

I just checked and no problem...got 18.1 at about 95%....of course it was the 700 club...so not in HD, but encoded as 1080i.

Sorry for your pain, borghe...don't they have a second showing on the following Sundays, though?
Set your Tivo for this channel-only on "record any" for this show to make sure you catch it.
As for the show, it was an eye-opener and left a lot of things open for a juicy season.
If you want to know what happened and cannot record it, send me a note..okay?

what the heck is that all about.. well, I took a look at my setup... everything was fine except for 18.. weird.. I replaced the 20dB PAD with a variable attenuator and lowered the resistance.. I now have a 65 or so on 18... weird.. unfortunately I dropped about 10 points on 58 as a result..

hopefully it is just weather related.. by coincidence it seemed to happen with the advent of this warm weather..

Nothing changed here.

It would be nice if the wattage did. Having to fool around with the antenna just to get one of your stations and then sticking it in another bizzare location to get 24 leaves both your stations on ignore mode.

Once Gregg said everything was fine I figured that..

hmm.. hope it clears up whatever it is.. never had these kind of problems before.. wonder if it is because of problems in the atmosphere mixed with the fact that it'sa channel 61 UHF (high frequency)..

oh well, after 10 minutes (most of it running up and down stairs) it's fixed...
