Which stations rebroacast "the Tube" at what times

[snathanb]

I know that sounds like an odd question.. but I'd like to set my DVDR to daily record from one of these other stations... the tube's transponder is just too flaky... sometimes I get in the 60's and sometimes I can't lock at all.

I get much higher signal from the transponders some of those other equity stations are on... and I've noticed some of them rebroadcast the tube. I just haven't figured out what time, and which ones.... so I can set my timers up...

KWBS (now WNYI) and WPXS usually have it during the day...I've seen it on around 10AM Central and on until 5 or so

The only ones that show it are these 2 and KDEV (which is on the same TP as the Tube)

Thanks Iceberg that helps a GREAT deal! I set it up tonight and try recording off those. I'll set two timers and shoot for 3 hours from each just in case!

 

[Mr Tony]

I know on weekends its on at the time above

 

[Mr Tony]

OK I screwed up....

I checked my Titan TV and on WPXS its on from 1-2PM Central daily and from 10-11 at night

 

[snathanb]

Yep, I found the same... but thanks for looking. I appreciate it!

I know somebody had it on ending at 4pm central yesterday...

My local fox affiliate just added TheTube as a subchannel to it's digital broadcast today. Except it's breaking up bad and the audio is of AM quality. Someone just looked at the TS and it's only getting about 3Mbps

WFLX-DT Digital Channel 28

Interesting....

Anyway... I was able to get my dish aimed a little more precisely and have pulled in that transponder consistently at about 60% quality, so it hasn't been an issue.

just wanted to post back saying how much I've enjoyed getting the tube for free OTA from my digital fox affiliate

this is an awesome!

I can't say it enough, The Tube is my favorite FTA channel.
(proof)

BFG, even with the reduced quality you described, I think you'll agree the West Palm Beach area is lucky to have this channel OTA for free. Any chance there has been an increase in the quality yet? Of course, we don't want it taking from the main HD subchannel.

The quality is much better. when I first published that I was just going off of someone else's review. It does not sound like AM and it looks just fine. It would probably look normal if I were watching it on an SDTV and not my HD...
