No HDTV with QAM on TWC on 8-26-05?

Is TWC having HDTV broadcasting issues tonight? (8-26-05)

The packer game and leno were not in HD tonight on 0.0.  Letterman and the other football game were also not in HD on 0.505 and 0.506.  The channels came in, but were the non hd, sidebar picture.  I have had no problems getting Leno in HD before.

I didn't get to test 0.512 ABC HD, but I have been having audio dropout issues.

0.510 PBS HD works just fine though.

Are these known issues or do I need my cable line serviced?

Thanks!

Packers game on WTMJ (504) was not full HD for me, but I don't think it was broadcast HD.

The game on WITI (506) was full HD for the few minutes I was watching.

WDJT (505) had audio problems (buzzing) most of the times I surfed past in the mid evening. Didn't watch it at all.

This is all TWC QAM in Muskego.

The game on Fox was in SD for a while, then switched to HD.
Letterman's show is not produced in HD.
505 had audio issues in early primetime, but it cleared after 8:15pm
Can't speak for Lenno.

Packer games wasn't shot in HD.  Leno was SD because WTMJ will not broadcast HD after they timeshift a program.  Either they don't want to or can't do HD recording to play back later.

CBS was HD for awhile last night, but audio dropped out and was buzzing, so they switched to SD (not a TWC issue).  It was either a switching issue with Leno, or the NBC uplink might have had problems, so they kept it SD (things that have happened in the past).

We have a Sony HD video tape recorder.. but you can not do a 16 minute delay with tape.
For program delays like that you need a disk-based HD server.

If our sources are correct, this will change beginning with tonight's show. :)

Understandable  :)

Now 0.505 CBS HD is completely down... is it this way for anyone else?

This is frustrating...

QAM and OTA CBS are working for me presently

Arg... I was on hold for 30min with TWC unable to get through.

We will see how long it takes them to respond to an email.

505 is out for me on QAM also. Analog 5 and digital SD at 106-10 are OK.

I've still got QAM, OTA, and on the Cable box working fine for CBS.

Just did a rescan. 505 is still gone, but the rescan found WDJT-HD CBS on 58-1.

By the way, I'm using a Panasonic 42PD50U plasma, with integrated NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuners. I add this because seems like the TWC QAM signal has changed (for at least two of us). Maybe different QAM tuners are handling the change differently.

Just checked... 0.505 is down, but 58.1 is now up.

Would be nice if TWC published changes.

Monday Night Football sure did suck though with audio drops every 10min or so.  The picture was insanely good though.
