The fact that in Ottawa CBOT-DT on RF 25 has the Carrier Frequency set at 67250000 (witch is the frequency for channel 4) could this not create confusion for some tuners?

The recommended practice for the carrier frequency have changed. It will be zeroed shortly.

Thank you Marc.
By the way cboft is not set to zero either.

Skate Canada International in Widescreen ... Friday November 2nd 9-11pm PST

Absolutely atrocious PQ ... the edge enhancement was so bad the skaters looked cartoonish at times. Almost unwatchable!

Thumbs way down. Shame on CBC! At this point in time there is no excuse for this quality of broadcasting. Too bad TSN HD did not have the contract to broadcast this event.

Saturday November 3rd 9-11:30am

Not only was the PQ of Skate Canada bad, but the production was equally bad! At times the sound was from a totally different part of the program. Disgraceful!

I got nicely surprised by the NBA in HD on CBC the weekend before. I hope it continues, the PQ was great. I just wish they showed it at least every week.

I am also almost completely lost in regard to CBC schedule. The HD .pdf file is no longer being updated, while there are major problems with the function of cbc.ca schedule (5 out of 7 days it can't even be accessed, and it is also often inaccurate). I assume most of the people here relies on their cable/sat digibox EPGs, but this is a nightmare for those of us who receive CBCHD OTA, and have no other means of knowing HD/WS schedules.

Seconded about CBC schedule. It seems impossible to look forward to other days of late ... always seem to report error message (well, it seems to be working now ... at 4 AM!)

Which schedule? The regular or the HD specific schedule? Both are working for me at the moment. If this happens, drop them a line at http://www.cbc.ca/contact/

The audience relations people are pretty quick to contact the appropriate people when things go wrong. I know.;)

Just the regular one ...

I can't even bring up tomorrow right now ... oh, finally came up ... very slow, often
just get a message about technical difficulties.

Been that way for a couple of weeks.

HD-specific schedule??? I thought it was all in the regular one now?

The CBC guide never works for me either. Everyone seeing this problem should submit a comment to Marc's link (above).

In the meantime, there was a thread about OTA HD web guides here:
http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=72436

Seems like most things on CBC are in HD or at least WS now.

I also went to the CBC website for the regular schedule. Although it eventually came up it took minutes for one page (I went on to other sites while it was loading) As nfitz says, it didn't even bring up today's schedule when requested, had to go to "next day". Something definitely amiss here.

Edit, just tried again a few minutes later and it seems to be working OK - weird.

It is the regular schedule I was too talking about.
http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/schedule/index.jsp
It works ok usually 2 out of 7 days, always shows Ottawa schedule, even after I enter my postal code, goes back to Ottawa after I go to next day, it's been like that for months now. Right now it's taking for me 10 min for every single page to open, and eventually is shows yesterday's schedule.
I did end up phoning CBC about it and they told me they are well aware of those problems and have been trying to fix this (that was a few weeks ago).
The HD .pdf schedule hasn't been updated since 6 weeks ago and I'm not aware of any new one. Why can't they just copy the scheduling system from french cbc web site?

Can't bring it up on CBC's guide right now but Wed,7:30.

Usually repeated Sunday noon but there is a Raptors NBA game scheduled.
Man, my internet connection is so slow now.:(

Thanks! That's good news for me, I can't wait for NBA sunday.
I have been trying to find out when the next NBA game is on, but the cbc.ca schedule just doesn't work - now it's been a week that I can't access it.

Also, did you guys notice this strange thing in 'Dragon's Den' header (not sure how you call that thing in english, when a show starts) - the registration-plates on those cars saying 'Dragon 5' are moving all around - are not fixed there but were graphically added after the shooting.

I just watched this interesting show on CBCHD via Expressvu. Good program in 5.1 audio. Unfortunately the descriptive video ran through out which was very annoying.

On Sunday, there were 2 movies in HD, and PQ was just the best.
It was to my surprise, as I spent days trying to find out if there would be any movies in HD on CBC soon, the cbc.ca schedule was unavailable for last week and I even phoned cbc last week asking about Vancouver HD schedule, but they couldn't access it either nor tell me any scheduling info.
This has become quite frustrating, I absolutely have no way of finding out CBUT HD schedule.
Also, it was interesting to me that on Sunday they showed "The Incredibles" on CBC HD, which makes me wonder why they would miss the chance of potentially tripling the viewership with simulcasting considering this movie aired 2 times on NBC during last week, but not on Sunday.

Aren't CBC ever going to fix their schedule on their website? It's been weeks since I've been able to see what was coming up. e.g.:

http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/schedule/dailySchedule.jsp?network=CBC%20Television&genre=&startTime=18:00&endTime=25:00&startDate=2007/12/14

I haven't been able to see it properly either. One workaround I've found when going to the schedule is to hit the stop button on the browser after about 15-30 seconds (I do this in the background while I'm on DHC) The page then comes up and you can do the same again in about 30 seconds...

I've had CBC HD via OTA for 3 or 4 days now, and I find that while the Rick Mercer report and the National are in full HD, and Mercer and Mansbridge really pop out of your screen, the PQ of some of the other stuff leaves something to be desired. I find that there are white outlines around objects on some of the cameras used on the News at Six. I also noticed the white outline problem on some cameras on the Leafs/Pens game that I watched at a friend's place a few weeks back.

The Hour looked like it was HD to me the night that Jean Chretien was on, but last night (the one with the UNICEF guy) it definitely was upscaled.

On the other hand SRC HD always seems to have crystal clear picture quality (although yesterday was the first time I watched it). I also see a lot of HD commercials on SRC, I'm not sure if I've seen any HD commercials on CBC.

I've purchased my Samsung ATSC receiver just so I can watch "Tout le monde en parle". The picture quality in that show is downright scary! You can see individual strands of hair! Throw in a variety of French Canadian TV shows in the mix (including the news) and you can honestly say that Canada has at least one OTA HDTV station that actually BEHAVES like an OTA HDTV station!
