CIVT DT 32 Running fine here 83%

I mean CTV 1, now on UHF 32

City TV (CKVU DT 33) is working for me right now too. Thanks.

I think it's my distribution amp has done something as it's removed from my scan memory and won't manually input.

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?

I don't have audio for it as well.

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?
I'm on the third floor and unfortunately I don't have access to an east facing window. I was hoping to get the Victoria signal since I am facing that direction.

...now showing Shrek in HD (1080i) ... it looks great!

I've lost 29 and 27 digital Victoria. Still getting 90+% on 23 and 21 so I guess it's on their end??

I don't have audio for it as well. I have audio for CHEK on my PC tuner but no audio on my DTV converter box. Interesting.

I'm willing to bet CHEK is transmitting MPEG-2 audio rather than AC-3 audio. TSReader data will confirm whether that is so.

My local PBS transmitted only MPEG-2 audio for a while after signing on, so my computer tuner decoded audio and most other receivers did not.

I've lost 29 and 27 digital Victoria. Still getting 90+% on 23 and 21 so I guess it's on their end??rf 27 and 29 aren't tuning in for me either. I was confused when I noticed it as well. In hdhomerun-gui the signal for both are strong and the symbol quality is 100% but the view button is grayed out and the program info is blank. For OTA I've only ever used my hdhr along with mythtv so I've never really noticed psip data problems before.

It does look great, 3rd night in a row CTV2 has shown a top notch Holllywood movie, too bad the previous nights were before the digital conversion.

After being unsuccessful with manual channel additions with my Zinwell 970A DTA box, I used "auto channel scan" and it did lock and put into memory: CIVI DT 17, CHEK DT 49 and 're-added' the suddenly missing CIVT DT 32. CKVU DT 33 appeared as a duplicate '10' with the previous CKVU DT 47 this morning, so now I wonder how CBUT DT 43 and CBUFT DT 26 will work out tomorrow.

pjpete, dtvinvictoria, & trip:

Thanks for the feedback re: CHEK-DT audio. I'll be talking with Al again tomorrow morning. He was exhausting different ideas with the other tech at the transmitter late this afternoon when I called.

Now I'm armed (a Pro gunner type pun) with "it's more than just me."

Will provide an update as soon as I can.

man...i'm now getting overload with the preamp...part of my goal is to get the seatac stations with minimal dropouts on the locals...instead kvos is always coming in full power but most local is coming in at 1/2 to 3/4 strength...

any thoughts?

I had to remove my pre amp on the 4228 as I was getting erractic events on the locals but great on 24 ( PBS ) the loss of stability on the others was to much for one station with the amp out of the loop I regained great steady streams even at lower signal strenght but nicer SNR. I played and relocated antenna many times to find the balance I was looking and after all that I then had enough signal after all these changes I am able to use an indoor.
Good Luck try variations.

CBUT and CHNM have just gone dark, CBUFT is still up.

This just in:
00 :00 CBUT 2 Vancouver analogue to go dark
00 :00 CHNM 42 Vancouver analogue went dark
But CBUFT 26 Vancouver analogue has yet to gone dark

CBUFT has now gone dark.

CBUT-DT digital on 58 just went down, so far nothing on 26 or 43 yet.

CBUT 2 turned off at 12:01am.

According to my time:

2 CBUT analogue shut down at 00:00:18
26 CBUF analogue shut down at 00:01:56

Just doing a scan to see when 26.1 will come up.
