But your HDHR's readout also shows high signal levels on channels that have not existed for years. ;)
Well not really, the only other stations that are showing a ss higher than 80 are US stations that are too weak for me to get a good lock on, other than rf 4 and 5 which could be adjacent readings.
We can discuss it elsewhere if it keeps happening or if someone with different gear also sees it.
Ok, I'll stop spamming this thread, just wanted to mention that the other high readings aren't just ghosts of transmitters past.

One tv has 33.2 as Citytv...nothing on 10.1, also one tv has CHEK6 at 49.1 and won't remap to 6.1. When the dust settles I'll post my signal strengths.

CHEK 6.1 is comiing in at SNR30 100% but oddly only if I point the attic antenna in the opposite direction at Mt Seymour. Gotta love OTA signal reflections.

CTV2 comes strong on all 3 of my PC tuners but I can't get any trace of signal on my Samsung TV tuner. Usually it's the reverse. I can get the slightest sign of signal on the TV way before I get strong signal lock on the PC tuners. Do you all get signals for CTV2 on your TV (especially Samsung)?

CTV2 is coming in very strong on my Samsung HDTV

Has anyone actually heard any audio on CHNU DT 47?

CHNU DT 47 No Audio. Strong signal here

CHNU 47.1 signal strength is fine but no audio on both tuners.

CKVU and CHAN analogue have gone dark.

Is anyone else having trouble getting audio from CHEK-DT 49 (6.1)?
I've tried multiple scans, and this is the only channel without audio. I just called CHEK and they are investigating on their end too.

I told them I'm reading this forum and nobody else has reported no audio - so is it just me?

yes! too bad rf 10 going dark didn't improve my rf 9 and 11 like I hoped it might

I hope when CBC moves I'll be able to get a lock on it. I can't get a lock on 58 right now.

Seems everything other than CBC has moved over, and 42, 19, and 26 analogue still seems to be working for me.

I think 19 is a local station to Abbotsford and they probably aren't required to move over to digital.

I don't get chnu at all (I think the transmitter is behind my antenna, and I don't have a rotor.)

For xmas I'm asking my family for a rotor for my antenna so I can point to the south and whatnot. ;)

Will CKVU (33.2) eventually remap back to 10.1?

Yep my guess would be that all the stations will remap back to their well known numbers, but we'll have to wait and see.

Can anyone confirm if CHNU is transmitting at full power? I only receive 15% on rf 47 when aiming my antenna east. I was hoping I could pick up the Victoria translator on rf 21. My condo faces west and I lock on a 92% signal from CHEK-DT. I'm using an indoor Terk HDTVi antenna. All other channels are above 90% at my location except KBTC and KVOS.

One of the stations I was watching was advertising their new channel numbers, so maybe not? CKVU, if I remember right. So maybe not.

glparker4 keep in mind that their tower is way to the southeast in Abbotsford so a Terk HDTVi isn't going to cut it from a west-facing condo, unfortunately. Do you have any east facing windows, and how high up are you?

Is CIVT DT 32 still up and broadcasting right now. I seem to have lost it for about the past hour.

32 CIVT DT 32 is fine for me right now
