What's up with PBS (chan. 8) in Phoenix ??

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

There's no signal on 8-1 or 8-2 for a few days now.

And a rescan gets another (new?) PBS channel 6-1,... 6-5, but much
weaker signal strength.

Please let me know if you find one...

I sent email to their support address, asking about a full reset.
I got the mail back, as they had internally auto-forwarded it
to a non-existant mailbox.

I called US Digital and they told me to unplug it for 10 seconds then
add the digital station channel number. And it worked ! Before, I
was trying to add the local analog channel number...which didn't work.

btw, the digital channels can be found with TitanTV.com or
AntennaWeb.org
