Sounds like the station is programmed improperly and isn't sending a proper "TVCT" ("Virtual Channel Table"). Yeah, I figured something like that. Tertiary stations skimp on lots of stuff, since they don't have lots of cash. An improper TVCT is theoretically illegal - the FCC regulations incorporate the ATSC standard - but I suspect the Commission will settle for the station being on the air at all and using a virtual channel number that doesn't conflict with anyone else... In any case, no extra equipment is necessary to do it right. It's just a matter of properly setting up the equipment the station already has. Of course, that does require a qualified engineer, which is usually more expensive than better equipment..... Did you get this from a website? If you did, I'd like the url, since I may be living in a different state on D Day. My own(grin). http://www.w9wi.com/tvdb/dtvfinal/dtvindex.htm The data comes from an FCC spreadsheet. I can't get HD channel 62 (analog 64). But it really doesn't matter, since it's Telemundo (Spanish). I think channel 62 (and 64) are on Mt. Diablo, quite a bit further from Sacramento than the other stations. |
