PBS In SD not HD?

[Neutron]

I'm waiting for DISH to add the major 4 locals for me in HD. I can only get 3 on my antenna.

its uplinked....just not available yet

Excellent. Looking forward to it! After that, the only missing HD local channel (with a decent amount of HD programming) will be KBCW 44.

it was uplinked the 16th so maybe tomorrow....I honestly dont know

 

[Mr Tony]

Not available OTA?

he's pretty far away from the towers (about 60-70 miles). He's got a thread in the OTA section

 

[GaryPen]

That stinks. But, there are some pretty long-range yagis available out there.

Any chance that we might see the PBS HD channels that are in testing today?

flip a coin 5 times and see how it comes out

Thats the odds (honestly its very possible they may go live this week...not really basing it on anything but hey if the weather terrorists can be wrong 90% of the time with the weather I guess I can throw out a prediction)

At last commercial TV station I worked at we used to joke about just that. We had this strange thought that they were supposed to predict what would happen instead of try to scare the L out of the public. Maybe your weather peeps came from the scare the L out of you school of forecasting.

Being here in MN anytime we get snow they work everyone up about it. We're suppose to get an inch to maybe 2 tonight and they're like "oh ya better leave way early for work because the roads will be bad" and stuff like that.

The worst is when we get maybe 6 inches of snow. They make it sound like we're gonna be trapped for a week so people are just idiotic at the grocery store.

It was tornado watches down TX way. Not the warning that are real but guess as to if there is gonna be a tornado in several counties.

Whenever it snows/sleets/ices in Texas here people freak out. Even if we only have 1/4" of snow people want to shut the entire state down.

Yes it is. Thanks for checking! I have it mapped to its traditional channel 9, though. I always lock all those 4xxx, 6xxx, 8xxx, and 9xxx duplicates and hide them.
