It isn't in the program guide and it isn't anywhere on their website (that I can find)!
I just got my 622 and want to calibrate my set. Any info?

What Happened to HDNet Test Pattern?!

It was on one day last week. It was listed on the program guide at 5:50am central time. Keep checking - it'll show up again.
I managed to record it last week from 5:50am til 6:00am.
Is there instructions somewhere that show best how to use it?

sorry, no results on my 622 for "pattern"
I used to see it listed when I had my 411, but now that I have my 622 I want to record it. Any idea when they will start airing these again?
Sorry, but it's not in my guide. I know that they are usually on Tuesday mornings at 5:50, but they aren't listed tomorrow.
I haven't actually checked to see if it shows up but in the past they sometimes don't actually show it in the guide until Sunday or Monday for some reason.
so should I just record the "nothing but trailers" episode at 5:30? If they change the guide won't it stop before I actually record the test patterns?
I just checked and it is not in the guide. Maybe they won't be showing it. It is usually on at 5:50am central time, so I'd set a manual timer from 5:30 to 6:30 rather than recording the show in it's place and see what happens.
I set a timer from 5-6...be interesting to see if it I have it when I get home tomorrow after work...
Who knows, but it is worth a shot!!! This would be the time that they stop airing it, right after I got my new receiver!!!!
Wasn't in the guide when I got it. Found the time on HDNet's website, so set a manual timer for it. The Guide Data for that entire hour was Charlie's Angels. Got what I needed and renamed the recording.
where did you find it on their site? I looked everywhere. Does anyone know if they run a different feed to the west coas? I'd love to get this pattern recorded so I can calibrate my new lcd.
If it is cancelled, I wonder if it is a casualty to the down-rezzing of HDNET?
It was a full 1920x1080 test pattern. When down-rezzed to 1440x1080, who knows how badly it got screwed up? Say you are looking to see if your set resolves lines around 1250-1300. That section of the pattern wasn't left untouched during the downrezzing. Lines would have been removed from there. And then your 622 or TV is going to upconvert it back to 1920x1080 for display, most likely by doubling some of the remaining lines, which would surely screw up a test pattern.
