Test Patterns

[smjbh5]

Do any of you know which channel broadcast test patterns. I want to use them to calibrate my satellite input on my TV.

I have the DVE blu ray disc, but thats for the BD player input. Don't want to use it cause it's a different source and signals come across different on satellite and BD.

Not sure if they do it anymore, but HDNet used to do HD test patterns Tuesdays from 6:00- 6:10 AM ET

JimK2's answer is more up to date than mine. Sorry.

Want a good way to see how bad your TV's overscan is? View the final test pattern and press the remote's position button to do PIP side by side. You will then see the entire pattern in the PIP and can compare it to what you see full screen.
