Albuquerque and New Mexico HD

[dfergie]

No OTA version here, I am 300 miles for Albuquerque... different traditions down here(could care less about Zozobra)but I put it up for those that are interested and I agree on the bandwidth hogging...but still it beats the heck out of KRQE which LIN is still withholding HD from the Satellite providers...

 

[dfergie]

Posted in the Direct Forum, but pertains to those of us that cannot get KRQE or its translator stations OTA... LIN gives bonuses

LIN - E* Agreement!

Check out today's uplink report. KRQE HD is now "available".

 

[dfergie]

Yes, Thanks LIN and Dish... Timers set for Thursday Night already...

Kudo's to KRQE for Wheel of Fortune in HD... ( have not checked for Jeopardy yet, but is flagged HD) Vanna

 

[dfergie]

Kudo's to KRQE and a rock to throw at KOB for running the Digital TV crawl during the entire opening of Earl...(and thus showing it in SD)

 

[Cognato]

Gee, I guess I am late. I usualy watch 13 OTA for the HD it was a real surprise to see the HD next to 13 on the guide.

Great news.

 

[dfergie]

They are showing Wheel and Jeopary in HD also...

This was posted in the Albuquerque thread at AVS... repeating it here for anyone in range...

For viewers in S.E. NM. KOBR and KBIM, will be conducting a coordinated engineering test of both stations transmission and antenna systems.

Starting sometime after midnight Dec. 3rd and finishing before 6am Dec.3rd. This test will use both stations post DTV transition RF channels, 8 & 10. During the test both stations low power DTV transmitters will be shut down, ch.38 (8) & ch.41 (10). A test pattern or SD programming will be passed; HD equipment is not yet in place for this DTV test.

Both stations will be conducting reception reports from cable companies within the viewing area of their VHF DTV signals. We would appreciate any reports from off air viewers who would be up at this time. Please pass this on if you know of anyone interested. Any performance reports of digital VHF reception is of great interest.

KASA SD and HD Feeds down from Dish... as well as the SD OTA Feed...

KOB's pic is offset last night and this morning on the Today Show... looks like the refresh rate of the top half of the picture lags behind that of the bottom half. When there is a cut from one shot to another, the top half briefly displays black, while the bottom half looks normal. When there is significant movement in the picture, the top half lags behind the bottom half.

Anyone else seeing this? I assume this is KOB's problem since I'm not seeing it on any other Dish Network HD channels...

Yes, this is happening and it looks terrible. Looks like screen tearing between the top and bottom halves. Not happening on OTA, so it must be a E* problem.

I just got in...will try to catch screen caps, not seeing it right now, but my CRT is messed up also

If you happened to record anything from last night, you'll see it - on "Life", "Law & Order" for sure. Didn't catch Leno last night, but I suspect it would show up there, too....

 

[dfergie]

Got some, I recorded Life but watched other things...

 

[dfergie]

Also been getting this a lot... hope they switch to Ciel2 soon...

 

[dgpruitt]

Ha! The yellow pic. Yeah, seen that one a few times. We should have a stronger signal soon, already seeing improvements in some of the transponders.

 

[PWGuy]

Still very much there tonight from Carlsbad on the satellite. Ugly!

 

[dfergie]

Hey, I'm 5 miles south of town watching other stuff, but had a timer for Earl...

 

[dfergie]

Looks like from your pic they at least used the HD crawl (thanks to congress we will get till June)
