WDIO moved from Channel 43 back to Channel 10 when they dropped their analog.
I lost both channels from the changeover happened (10-1 and 10-2)
I had to rescan my channels, I had 10-1 back. I cannot get 10-2 however.
I get a strong signal of 87-96 on (10-1).
But 10-2 is still saying "Searching For Signal".

Station Callsign: WUSI
Digital Channel Number: 16-2 and 16-3
Acquiring via DirecTV LiL or OTA: OTA
Your DirecTV Receiver: HR21-700
Your DMA: Terre Haute, IN
Your Primary Zip Code (on DirecTV receiver locals setup): 62454
Your Secondary Zip Code (again on the receiver locals):
Did you re-do Antenna Setup (for OTA): Yes, several times.

I can pick up all three 16-1, 16-2, and 16-3 on the Tv, so I know they are broadcasting. However suddenly after February 17th, I lost 16-2 and 16-3.

WUSI dropped their analog signal on February 17th, but their digital channel never changed from channel 19, so I do not know why I can no longer pick up the subchannels with the AM-21. I have rebooted my receiver, I have reset the OTA settings and started over. Nothing works.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the interesting part is, if you check the antenna signal strength, it shows about 70% on 16-1, 16-2, and 16-3. Still can't tune the subchannels however.

I still cannot receive KVPT 18-1,18-2 and 18-3in Fresno,Ca.with my HR20-700. All three are in the guide . Before the analog shutoff I was receiving all 3 now I just get a 771 error no signal.I reset locals and reset the receiver twice with no luck. My ATSC tuner in my tv receives all 3 .

 

[bateau980]

WHIO-DT2 in Dayton, OH still does not work. I restarted my receiver a few times over the weekend and ran the Antenna setup as well. Still 771, even though signal strength shows 90+%.

EDIT: After some digging, the station is broadcast from 41-2 and mapped to the virtual channel 7-2.

[rant]
Obviously CSRs don't know that there is a problem. I called today to correct my address from when I moved a month ago and mentioned it. She read the script stating that I need to move the antenna around until I receive the signal. I repeatedly told her that the signal is 90+% and that the unit worked in the same position before the 17th. She didn't even offer a transfer to technical support.

Edit: As of 7p last night, the channel has been restored.

Update

Koln Channel 10.2 just started working. Did not have to do anything no re setup, nothing.

10.1 was working last week.

I did get 10.2 before the digital conversion.

This took a while, hope we all dont have wait a week to get channels in June when we do this again for the other channels changing like Klkn 8.1 and 8.2 VHF in Lincoln Ne in June.

 

[Ramy]

What if you never had them to begin with and you still don't get them?

Plattsburgh,NY & Burlington Vermont DMA

Station Callsign: WCAXtra (WCAX-DT)
Digital Channel Number: 3.2
Acquiring via DirecTV LiL or OTA:
Your DirecTV Receiver: HR21
Your DMA: Plattsburgh, NY & Burlington, VT
Your Primary Zip Code (on DirecTV receiver locals setup): 05401
Your Secondary Zip Code (again on the receiver locals):
Did you re-do Antenna Setup (for OTA): YES

I utilize AM21 Dual ATSC tuner in conjunction wit HR21 HD receiver to incorporate antenna signal into program guide. Prior to switchover Channels 3.1 and 3.2 from WCAX worked fine, and after switch only 3.1 works. I reset receiver and re-initiated antenna set up multiple times and
get 100% signal on both 3.1 and 3.2. However using 3.2 results in "searching for signal 771". Prior to switchover I'm aware that WCAX used UHF 53 and afterwards is now using 22. Tribune issue?

At first I had lost 5.1 and 5.2, after the rescan I got 5.1 back on both receivers but 5.2 is still missing on both. Have 100% signal and the guide info is there on 5.2 but no video/audio

 

[thomas_d92]

All sub channels for KVPT in Fresno,Ca. are now working with my HR20-700. It only took 8 days to correct. This was the only station in Fresno,Ca. that shut off its analog signal early. I dread what will happen on June 12 when the rest of the stations turn off analog.
