Does STL have a new channel? Justice, 35.3

[rc811002]

It appears that Justice lit up today in STL. And something else. I had 28 now I have 30 channels! I wonder what it is? Oh good, another shopping channel! Are you jealous?

 

[rc811002]

I have to be nice. The other channel is Revn (revving) TV. Should be fun. It is just on a mixture transmit!

I wonder what it is?

More info in the thread here: The Justice Network is coming in January

Most Gannett stations (I think you mean KSDK5 not 35) is adding it. Justice Network starts Tuesday at 6 Eastern

STL KSDK5 is 35. It is on now. Just no guide on Roamio.

In Minneapolis on KARE-DT3 (11) it just says "Justice Network" in 4 hour blocks. Hope they get a guide in there soon (titantv has the listings)

Channel 35 must be cable channel for StL ? I pick justice up on 5.3 with an antenna .

 

[Mr Tony]

Their RF station is 35. Most folks use the PSIP number (the old school analog number)

IF you look at your tbfool report the "Real" # ts ACTUAL CHANNEL they transmit on.
A good many use the "VIRTUAL" channel as their 'brand'. It's your "Old School" , pre digital analog channel (Which used to be real).

I don't understand why they had to have "Virtual, PSIP channels numbers anyway. Is it to hide something, like the 'real world,??* It's also questionable now to the 'realness' of what you see on the screen. There's no standard for aspect ratio, so what you see may be fatter, or skinnier, than what's real. You have your choice, via the remote, to change your aspect to whatever, without knowing 'what's real'.
I know of a few instances where some went out and bought a 'new' TV antenna, and bought a VHF only because it was HD rated (It's printed on the box). Little did they realize, their VHF stations were going to be, digital and HD, on UHF. GONE on VHF. Apparently, the sales people were also 'in the dark'. I've come to believe that most 'box store' sales people don't even know OTA still exists.
(Sorry for getting 'off topic, and ranting, I apologize)

kinda reminds me of the FTA area where folks use satellite names versus locations

Because most folks use the "PSIP" number. It would be confusing to most people to say "hey turn on channel 33" but if you say "hey turn on channel 3" folks know what it is
