HD Net Test screen

[FlyingJ]

Sorry if this is the wrong place or if it is elsewhere in the forums but I just can't find it. About a week ago I ran across an article about how to use the test screen on HD Net at 8 am on Tuesdays to kind of calibrate your HD picture. Anyone see that or know how to use it? Thank you!

Cool,
I had totally forgotten about this. I read about it several months ago and dismissed it because I'm usually not home at 8am EST on Tuesdays. But now that I have an HD Tivo, I can record it and calibrate later!

I'd like to Tivo this also, but when I pull up the guide it doesn't show anything at 8am just 6am and a 8hr duration. Is this what I want? Tks in advance.--Ray

Ray,
I saw that too. It must be mixed in with that block. I'm going to try a manual recording from 7:45-8:15. Should be in there somewhere if they haven't changed their air time.

It's on from 8:00am - 8:10am

I recorded the test patterns last week. I just set a manual recording from 8:00am to 8:10am. After it recorded, and was available from the Now Playing list, it was listed as the "HDNET Test Patterns" (or something like that).

Thanks. That will cut down the searching time.

Just to clarify

Just want to clarify that the test patterns seem to be on every Tuesday from 8:00 to 8:10am. I didn't mention the day in my previous post.

You can also look at the HDNet scehdule online. (I can't post URL's yet, or I'd paset it here).
