Since they moved to KNMQ-LD on rf ch. 20.2 not sending in HD just 480i WS.

Just wish they go to HD mode for WN!

rabbitears indicates that 20.2 was Antenna TV at 720p. Is Antenna TV even HD?

Maybe they've decided that two 720p channels didn't work as well as they thought with the equipment they have.

Weather Nation sends a 1080i signal.

Antenna TV Network was never sent in HD at that time. Speaking of Weather Nation, I always thought they always were sent in 720p mode via IP. Are they on C-band with full bandwidth of 1080i mode?

Anyway, Nice to see Caribbean Weather Nation on Ku band!

Wikipedia lists WN as sending in 1080i (the resolution used by all but a handful of non-Disney/Fox channels).

I can't imagine there's much point in satellite uplinking of you're making your content available on the Internet.
