WFVX is on 7.2 in SD Digital over the air. WFVX is in HD on Cable and DirecTV because DirecTV's uplink for locals in Bangor came 2.5 years later and DirecTV is co-located at FOX. Dish is co-located several miles away at the NBC affiliate. Dish can't get a HD signal from FOX and has finally...

I have it on cable, so I'm not as worried, but it would be nice if they sort this out so I can schedule recordings, etc.

They just barely uplinked it and you're already hatin'. :) It's possible they just screwed up or something lagged and they wanted to launch the others so they launched it. Since the WFVX HD guide section just says WFVX HD, that channel is definitely 'half baked', but the question is why...

WFVX is definitely not in HD... Masterchef is in HD on my cable feed but not in my Dish feed. It's very obvious that their feed is a SD uplink.

Looks like a good day for us here in Bangor ME.

My TV55 has been the only thing that can actually pick these stations up at all. Every other brand and type I've used (short of something that mounts on my roof) has yielded less, not more. :) Once Dish adds my locals in HD, the antenna is going into storage.

Seems stupid to me. Our FOX station received Digital Flash Cut permission in Sept of last year (They applied in April 2008 I believe) and still seems to have no public plan to move to UHF 22. I'm really curious what the standard for this thing is with other stations (they were low...

I've no idea why they did it, but the numbers definitely explain why the experience is garbage. MPBN (WMEB) is on VHF 9 @ 15kW and that's a hard one for me to get too. UHF definitely favored me. I'm using a Terk TV50 which is VHF/UHF, so I doubt that's it.

Right. I don't know how much power they were using when they were on (I think it was Digital 25). However, they decided to switch a few months after the 'conversion' back to their Channel 2 location on VHF to try to 'cover more area'. The CBS station is owned by the Hildreth family if...

I'm pretty sure the NBC affiliate has a repeater down near you, perhaps on Blue Hill (I know WLBZ has a tower cam there at the very least). The problem with VHF here has to do with their setup in Holden I suspect. There's been plenty of people that gripe about this online. I'm penalized...

At least the 18th isn't bad. I was expecting with all of these satellite moves, upgrades, etc. that we were going to be jammed up for another year. Ever since NBC moved from UHF to VHF here, the quality of the signal has been garbage here in the city. I'm sure it's better further out of...

You're going to have to learn something about patience sometime. Now might be that time.. ;)

That'd be quite a jerk job if so. I see a lot of DirecTV dishes here and I believe that having FOX in HD is part of the situation since it's only a digital SD subchannel over the air (and a weak signal too). I get ClearQAM with my Cable Internet connection. It'd make the most sense to me...

We shall see. I wouldn't be surprised if Dish uses a local cable company to feed the locals into their network somewhere in the country. Sure it is.. That's how I get it right now.. It's been in HD on cable forever. :) On my TV I believe it's channel 88.1. DirecTV also offers it in HD...

There's many different ways this can be done. The cable company here originally used point to point microwave to get the locals into their network. There's also no shortage of fiber on the poles, you don't need your own private feed. In all seriousness they could just pull them all in...

Supposedly yes. Yep. I hope you have good results with it. I have 110/119/61.5/72.7 instead. The 1000.4 dish hasn't been a real award winner for me in the center part of the state but it seems to do the job for people west and south.

Looks like EA for Portland / Lewiston / Augusta ME area.. Still no love for us up here in the land of more dishes and less cable.

Now if only they'll get Bangor HD locals taken care of. :)

Receiver type: 722 Dish: Dish 500 Quad 110/119, Dish 500 Twin 61.5, DP34 Area: 04401 (Bangor ME) Date/Time: Late part of 4am, Scattered Clouds 01: 0 (Not Locked - Name Not Acquired) (Transponder) 03: 26 (Locked - Name Not Acquired) (Transponder) 05: 30 (Locked - Echostar 61.5 West)...

I think they can rebind the card to a different receiver, not sure if they will but..

That's where my 721 is, seeing as they won't activate it anymore... :)
