Re: [OTA] OTA DTV conversion problems
Of course in the analog days they were just 2 stations/channels.... but, the Miami station Does that too,,,, HD and SD, plus OK only three subchannels all on one channel.... but since GBH had two why give the licence up. But GBH could be doing several Subs too besides the HD and SD.
Thing that ticks me off is WPBT/PBS here has taken to CROPPING the SD feed.... so name and date tiles are often chopped off, the secondary PBS is not doing that nor are they HD yet.... so I have told WPBT fine, I will now be watching WLRN for the duplicated programming even if it a few days later and shift my contributions there too.
Rather than one org with two stations, here it is Miami and Ft Lauderdale. Many major shows like Nova, etc duplicated but WLRN second run status by a few days.
LRN runs more secondary shows, and WPBT runs more movies... so they amicably sort it out. But I will not watch cropped HD crap on WPBT if I can see it on WLRN leterboxed.
And the Odd thing is WPBT did not do thins until just before the change over.
And oddly enough actually was watchiging when the did it..... pict sunddenly stretch vert and then clipped sidwayas..... been that way ever since. The only Graphic properly placed not cut off is of course the ghost channel logo. An in HD often person is set off left or right and you only see half a face.... again really annoying nonsense.
