| Only a few clear qam HD's on patriot?
Just got a nice little 19" Sharp Aquos. Put it on patmedia did an analog/digital channel search and came up with the following:
2-79 standard analog 97 & 99 too
2.1 CBS HD (true HD), 16:9
4.1 WNBC DT (not HD), just digital, bars on sides
5.1 WNYW-DT (not HD), just digital, bars on sides
7.1 WABC-HD (true HD), 16:9
7.2 WABC+ (not HD), just digital 16:9 (advertising?)
9.1 WWOR-DT (not HD), just digital
11.1 TheCW11 (true HD), 16:9
11.2 LATV (Blank)
52.5 WJN-HD (true HD), 16:9
So this leaves me asking where are the following:
WNBC HD? Channel 4?
Fox 5 HD? Channel 5?
WWOR HD? Channel 9?
WNET HD Channel 13?
Seems I'm missing more than I have.
Guess there's no free lunch on cable. Thought these guys were supposed to carry everything that is available OTA in the clear.

| 4.1 was working as NBCHD for me the other day, i'll have to check again.
I know that some digital QAM tuners can skip channels that are really there. If you had it auto tune, than I would manually go back to see what's there. It is a pain and something I've never done. Almost as if they wanted to make it so painful you'll just buy their box... |
