Here's something that is wacky. Anyone got an explanation?
Here in Phoenix our PBS affiliate is KAET Channel 8.
The PBS signal is received via the OTA. The channel guide lists three stations: 8-1 (HD broadcast), 8-2 (standard broadcast), and 8-3 (seems to be the exact same programming as 8-2).
The 8-1 schedule is always different than 8-2 and 8-3, since its all HD programming. Here's the weird thing: the programming on 8-2 is always 30 minutes ahead of schedule. If I use a regular rabbit-ear antenna to tune into PBS 8, the programming is on schedule. Additionally, regular PBS always has "KAET" in the lower right hand corner. None of the OTA channels have that.

So that begs the question: what am I viewing via the Voom OTA?
 
I'm not in Phoenix so this is pure speculation. Go to www.zap2it.com and see if their schedule is also off by thirty minutes. This guide is the source for the Voom PG. As far as the missing logo goes, your PBS station may not be broadcasting the logo with their digital broadcast which is separate from their analog/cable TV broadcast. What are you connecting the rabbit ears to? What do you mean by "regular PBS"?
