    Customer Service

    NYC Channel 96 97 8MM Effect - MPEG4

    The local RSNs (Yes and SNY) broadcast HD pictures on channels 96 and 97 in the New York Metro area. These were part of the August announcement to begin broadcast of regional sports networks in MPEG-4 in select markets. Since day 1, these channels suffer from the 8mm effect whenever there is...
