    Rewind TV coming to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market

    I just caught the end of a promo that said Rewind TV will be coming as a subchannel to WNEP 16 this fall. Since they already 'host' the three PBS channels for WVIA in addtion to their own two channels I am hoping they will be adding it to their lineup as an additional channel instead of...

    Pittsburgh ATSC 3.0 reception demo with excellent results

    Not sure how many of you are familiar with Tyler the Antennaman's youtube channel. He recently drove to Pittsburgh to do an ATSC 3.0 test, stopping along the way to check reception. The equipment used was pretty minimal and the results were quite impressive, especially while in motion in a...

    Edision Mio 4K+ volume level

    I purchased an Edision Mio 4K+ from Titanium a while back and so far I am very happy with it. The only issue I have is the volume level output by it. When my tv volume is set at the normal level I use for all other inputs and OTA television I have to turn the volume of the Edision up to the high...

    WQPX in Central PA has moved to RF 33

    Just around midnight last night I was watching them and lost their signal on rf 32. A scan of rf 33 brought the channels back. The signal is coming in fine with strength two points higher (66 instead of 64). Their quality reading remains at 100 (no change from before). :)

    Can anyone who normally receives WBRE and WYOU (both High VHF in Pennsylvania) confirm that these are presently on the air.
