WGN HD is Available!

[Hemi 6.1]

I can confirm WGN HD and WPIX HD are up and running on the 61.5.

The next question we will get is whether WPIX HD is avaialable to all or even superstation subs. I understand that it is not. That it is just available in the NY DMA>

And the answer is NO!. Since WPIX HD is spotbeamed on the 61.5. Just like it is on D* 99 satellite for NY only.

You get NYC locals? I thought only Pike Co. can get them. Your location says Wayne so I thought you would be in Scranton / Wilkes-Barre land.

With D* Yes, I have Scranton Wilkes Barre. But For E* I use my Greentown Address. I'm right on the border. Its the same Address, but when they ask you what county you live in, D* I said Wayne "my real county" and E* I said Pike my "moved county"

It's kind of sad that they add a channel I never watch that rarely shows HD, and I'm excited that "at least it's not stretched!"

Ill take hd versions of an sd channel anyday. The 4:3 still has better PQ.

Yea me too. I think it looks no worse then SD even stretched.

 

[gadgtfreek]

I take Ghost hunters on Sci Fi HD and stretch it with the dvr when it comes on, looks much better than the sd sci fi on my tv anyday.

Can anyone in the Chicago confirm whether the local WGN9 is available as well?

Yes, it is.

That's what I said Hemi!

I'm with you (figuratively), Wake me when those News Corp HD channels show up (Fox News, Speed, FX, Fuel, Fox Bidnez).

This is not a thread hijacking, BUT each new "HD" channel we get only makes me miss Voom more. Nuff said.
