DC Metro NBC WHAG HD Ch. 515 in Verizon FIOS TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22621265 en Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:59:11 EDT Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:59:11 EDT Re: DC Metro NBC WHAG HD Ch. 515 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22647808 wmcbrine :

But in this case, is Fios carrying WHAG in HD throughout the DC metro, but not the standard def signal?
The SD signal is present. It's just not being mapped by my Fios STBs -- only by my CableCard-using TiVos. If I had HD STBs, I suspect I wouldn't be getting 515 on them, either.

On one hand, it was in the news that WHAG was charging local cable systems for its signal, even though WRC 4 is available.

They got on Dish Network via must-carry, that is Dish is not paying for the channel.

But they are not on DirecTV, as maybe they opted for retansmission consent.

So, with Fios, is Fios carrying them free?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22647649 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:34:35 EDT Re: DC Metro NBC WHAG HD Ch. 515 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22647614 mixedday : I read that Verizon Fios also carries secondary ABC affiliate, WWSB 40 (ABC) throughout the Tampa-Sarasota TV market.

WRC may user newer, more efficient encoders, although I would be surprised if they were able to deliver comparable quality in 12Mbps.

Goodness, I thought this was another local PBS station. This channel was available in my Moxi DVR before the latest round of Viacom HD channels were added to the Reston, VA area (VHO4). The guide data has been available since I remember seeing the channel show up, however, there is no channel label (typical Moxi issue for me), so all I had was the unfamiliar WHAG HD name to go by. If the standard definition mirror is listed in my guide, I'll be sure to remove it from my channel list to keep the duplicates down to a minimum. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628210 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:34:23 EDT Re: DC Metro NBC WHAG HD Ch. 515 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628044 SQUIDWARD360 : wikipedia has a list of anchors and weathermen.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628044 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:03:40 EDT Re: DC Metro NBC WHAG HD Ch. 515 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22627876 Vamp9190 :

Not sure if this is for the entire DC area but in Northern VA we now receive WHAG HD on channel 515. It's channel 25 out of Hagerstown MD. I don't think it shows anything different then what we're receiving on WRC except different local news. Probably a waste of space but there must be a demand for it somewhere.
It does not show the NBC station in DC for news? What local news does it show?

It is on in Fairfax, but I have yet to see any HD content in it...
WHAG 25 is the NBC affiliate in Hagerstown, MD. It will have HD programming when NBC does. I have not seen any syndicated programming in HD on WHAG since their new digital broadcast signal on UHF 26 reached it's full alloted power of 575 kW a few days after June 12. WHAG's new digital broadcast signal is not hard to pick up in Sterling, VA if you aim a UHF antenna to the NW. WHAG is owned by Nexstar Broadcasting which has been cashed strapped for years, so it is not surprising that WHAG is not able to broadcast syndicated HD programming.

The Hagerstown market is a subset of Washington DC market. WHAG's new improved digital broadcast signal now reaches the western and northern parts of the DC metro area. Nexstar either was able to talk Verizon into adding the station to the Washington DC line-up, or maybe they invoked must carry rules. Since it is technically a DC market station, Verizon probably can't add it to the Anne Arundel / Howard county or Baltimore line-ups.

I was surprised to see WHAG 25 show up on 515 on Friday. Had figured the next HD local Verizon added in DC would be WPXW Ion 66 which went HD several months ago and moved to NW DC on June 12 by taking over WUSA-DT 9's pre-transition UHF 34 transmission.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626268 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 23:36:06 EDT Re: DC Metro NBC WHAG HD Ch. 515 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626070 necochino : It is on in Fairfax, but I have yet to see any HD content in it...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626070 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 22:40:26 EDT Re: DC Metro NBC WHAG HD Ch. 515 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22625706 amorris525 : I have 515 WHAG in Sterling, VA]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22625706 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 21:17:46 EDT Re: DC Metro NBC WHAG HD Ch. 515 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22624107 SQUIDWARD360 : I don't have 15 here either.

WHAG doesn't have any sub channels like WRC does so it has the potential to have a better picture since it isn't bandwidth restricted like WRC is. WRC, WJLA, and WUSA neither of them look like they used to in the early 2000's when they weren't broadcasting the sub-channels.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22623182 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 09:06:24 EDT Re: DC Metro NBC WHAG HD Ch. 515 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22623035 legalaliens : It's on in Fairfax.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22623035 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 07:36:52 EDT Re: DC Metro NBC WHAG HD Ch. 515 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22622885 ravensfan55 : Are CO's equipped to insert channels into the feed?
