    Report channels missing from the Super-DMA

    ADVERTS
    IMPORTANT: If your OTA channel map has been already updated to the new Super-DMA map (Is Xbox a Money Pit?) and you are already getting program listings for new channels, please verify that you are getting PG listings for all of your channels. If you are missing PG listings for some of the channels that you can tune to, please report such channels in this thread. Your information will help VOOM in fine-tuning the Super-DMA maps.

    Please post the following info:

    1. Your Zip code
    2. Your DMA map number if you know it, or just the City name.
    3. Channel number as listed in the program guide.
    4. Station call letters
    5. RF number if you know it.
    6. Signal quality, if you know, or just confirm whether it is coming strong.
    Please note, that the new program listings will not show up immediately. Post here only if you have started getting listings for other stations outside your DMA and you are certain that particular station is missing. All other postings will be deleted. Please use the following thread for discussion: Super-DMA is being released! (Is Xbox a Money Pit?)

    To discuss reception issues related to particular stations, please use corresponding threads of the VOOM "In Your Area" Forum.



    Thank you for your help!

    Pittsburgh received the Super-DMA today and it has mistakes

    I have listed the mistakes in order of severity.

    WQEX-Pittsburgh, PA RF:26 Analog:16 PSIP data is 16-1 listing is no info. This staion is located in downtown Pittsburgh and it's digital channel has been licensed since last summer.

    WNPB-Morgantown, WV RF:33 Analog:24 PSIP data is 24-1, 24-2, 24-3, no info on all three. 24-1 is West Virginia PBS (WVPBS), 24-2 is WVPBS2, and 24-3 is the Annenburg CPB Channel. Though this station is licensed to WV the Pittsburgh DMA covers 3 states. WNPB covers Washington, Fayette, Greene, Monongalia, Preston, and Garrett counties in the Pittsburgh DMA. WNPB is located 35 miles from downtown Pittsburgh.

    WTOV-Steubenville, Oh RF:57 Analog:9 (WTOV is 25 miles from downtown Pittsburgh)
    VOOM EPG lists it as 57-1, however WTOV sends PSIP data and multicasts. After a scan 9-1 and 9-2 shows up on the EPG along with the 57-1 that VOOM added. So you have in the EPG:

    9-1 no info
    9-2 no info
    57-1 EPG info for WTOV

    It really isn't major so I just hid 9-1 and tune to 57-1 where the guide info is, but since 9-2 is local weather it looks odd having 9-2 and 57-1 instead of 9-1 & 9-2.

    WQED-Pittsburgh, PA EPG info is listed on 13-3 when the video is on 13-2.

    WPGH-Pittsburgh, PA station multicasts. 53-1 is HD and 53-2 is an SD simulcast. EPG info listed on 53-1, 53-2 has no info (not that it matters as both -1 and -2 are identical programming).

    WCWB-Pittsburgh, PA station multicasts. 22-1 is HD and 22-2 is an SD simulcast. EPG info listed on 22-1, 22-2 has no info (not that it matters as both -1 and -2 are identical programming).

    Those are the only mistakes I could see or that have been reported to me (not that there are many of us I only know of 6 Pittsburgh VOOMers).

    Otherwise, keep up the good work VOOM and thanks for getting channels listed in the EPG.

    Orlando, FL has the Super-DMA map, but is missing some of the stations.

    I am not receiving any guide info for the following stations:


    (Call Letters)(Voom Channel)(Network)(Location)(RF #)

    WTVT 13-1 FOX TAMPA FL 57.9
    WMOR 32-1 IND LAKELAND FL 49.7
    WOPX 56-1 PAX MELBOURNE FL 48.4


    OTA Map = 0020
    Zip Code = 34711

    Thanks for taking care of this!

    I don't think I"m getting the super dma for pittsburgh. Nothing changed in the local channels menu item for me. I did start getting WQEX this am after a new scan. I now have 13 channels, counting all the sub channels. My scan pauses for 33, but does not pick it up as the signal seems to fluctuate too much or is below the weather threshold. I don't see 57 at all. My antenna is too low or to weak to pick that one up. I'm 26 miles south of Pittsburgh in Washington County. I see pretty much the same problems in the guide as bryan does, with the exception of the two channels I don't get, mentioned above. I'm one of the six pittsburgh voomers!

    SF Bay Area Super DMA

    Can someone post the channels included in the S.F. Bay Area's Super DMA map?

    I have been waiting for this before getting VOOM, since I only get OTA signals from outside the DMA.

    Shreveport, Louisiana

    As for Shreveport, Louisiana I have found the following...

    3-3 (KTBS, Shreveport, dig channel 28)guide info is incorrect, it should be KTBS Cable News

    6-1 (KTAL, Texarkana, dig channel 15)no guide info

    And a quick question, why does channel 24 (dig channel 25) not show up while performing a channel scan? It pauses on channel 25, however does not list, 25-1, 25-3, and 25-5. The channels do however show in the program guide.

    SDMA update does not appear to have happened for Atlanta GA on the 10th. I'm reasonably sure I would have gotten at least a few new stations and have not, as of the morning of the 11th.
