Lets see...

That means they'll have it on the air about January, right?

No, really, hope they get it up and running much sooner.

My wife stepped into my office the other night while I was watching the Tonite Show and said, "Wow, its almost like you're right there!"

That's great news about Fox HD in Medford, OR. Hopefully it will be up and running before the NFL season ends. Also, I hope that Charter will add CBS and Fox in HD by next year.

LOL, Here in Memphis, we have been hearing from the Fox station for YEARS that they are 'working on' the digital station. They've apparently been trying since the days of Fox EDTV to get online, with no luck.
I really hope your station follows through!

Yeah, in the same boat here. I keep emailing our fox affiliate and they are now telling me first quarter next year. so that more than likely means first quarter 2010.

Wow this really sucks my fox is 480i widescreen. The way i found out is my voom box gets the channels at 480i and its in widscreen?? I thought foxeng over at avs said that could not work but thats what it is.. Anyway from what i have been told all they have todo is install the splicers. Everything else is done.!!

Sounds like one of two things happening:

The 480i signal is being streatched via the narrow to wide setting....

or

The Fox signal is actually 720p / 1080i and the Voom box is set to 480i pull-down.
