[bxl4]

It's confirmed, Seattle locals on 110W. No signal yet, but the call letters and transponders have been assigned.

Nice!! Hopefully they are live and broadcasting soon. Did they move ALL of our locals or only 4,5, 7 and 13?

 

[long_time_DNC]

It'd be nice if we get 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 22...but I'd be happy with 4, 5, 7, 11 and 13.

Seattle HD locals teed up

Seattle - 4s45
6414 KOMO
6415 KIRO
6416 KING
6417 KCPQ

That's all so far.

Those are channels I saw also. Nothing there yet, but at least they're getting them ready.

I think there is a tech chat on Monday. It might be worth watching this time.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Tech chats are (usually) more informative anyway...

The Seattle hd locals are already on BEV

Not only that, but BEV includes the PBS local. Neither E* or D* are carrying any PBS HD. (BEV also carries Boston locals.)

New update...... 05/10/06

Any updates from your source?

 

[WLong]

Well, word has it they are available on DISH now, can anyone confirm?

 

[cebbigh]

I confirm seeing kiro, king, and komo. Don't see kcpq (13) yet.

 

[emtownsend]

Can't wait to get home and try it! :
Will I need to look for anything different or will they simply be HD? (sorry if that is a noob question)

 

[PeggyD]

Same here. I just got home from work & checked. KOMO, KIRO & KING are up. KCPQ on 6417 doesn't show up.

brad1138 was right with his last update - May 10!

Seattle HD Quality

My 622 is a few weeks out yet so I would enjoy hearing your opinions on the quality of the picture. Both SD and HD content.

At last it is here!

HD is clearer compared to composite on TV2 in side-by-side (Twin View) on my Sony. Even watching SD content on KIRO. KOMO HD news is amazing. I don't have OTA HD to compare it to.

Audio synch during Lost last night on KOMO was terrible. The other channels seemed fine, however.

It was also off on GMA this morning.

 

[long_time_DNC]

A few audio synch and garble issues, but not bad tonight. I'm impressed with the PQ, even on the boxed non-HD programming. Colors are crisper, richer and more vibrant and the HD programming (though quite likely HDlite), looks far better than the SD channels. Overall, I'm pleased.

Where's KCPQ though?

Fox Missing

I hope Fox shows up before my 622 does, that is my wifes favorite.

 

[long_time_DNC]

I hope Fox shows up before football season.
