Thought today was the day CHAN 8 was suppose to have a digital signal. I'm wearing out my "scan" function on the tv :)

Any updates?

props to you solarwind! Now that the Canuckleheads are out of the playoff race, there's no need for cable really.

I'm just as disappointed as you are levibluewa

it's 22.1? Didn't 2.1 originate 58.8? at least it did on my Sony set, then was remapped to 2.1.

This is right out of the IC database, which I just refreshed:

BC Vancouver 22 CHAN-DT GTN 492128 1225714 670.0 4300 518.00
BC Vancouver 8 CHAN-TV GTN 492128 1225714 711.0 125900 180.00 +

So Global Vancouver is assigned 22 as we knew, but what we don't know is whether they will remap to 22.1, 8.1, etc. etc.

Your ATSC tuner will pick up the signal on 22 and remap accordingly.

Hi its 853pm I aimed my antenna at the construction crane and yes cbc is on here and just fine too.:p

For you new people I have to get a bounce off of a construction crane inorder to pick CBC and some times CTV as my location favours sea tac rather than seymour :confused:

hmmm...signal's been perfect for months, all of a sudden, nothing. CTV is fine though. Maybe I'll go check the antenna. Btw, I'm on Capitol Hill in Burnaby with a clear shot at Seymour.

You should really get 22.1 when it comes on from your location Capitol Hill in Burnaby with a clear shot at Seymour

:oI called and after four redirects I spoke to a insider and the word is as follows...

the software for redirecting 22.1 to ? is an older version and they need to update the software.... however they may go live today regaurdless and sort through that issue as they go.

I was pleased with the polite and speedy reply to my message I left on the for a return call as I got voice mail on the fourth redirect. I suggest scanning 22.1 as it may remap who knows where....mmmm seems this has been mentioned earlier up in the posts :D
