Picture, no sound on OTA local HD

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

Here in Columbus, Ohio I get a strong digital signal on all OTA DTV
stations. On one channel (53) I get a picture, but absolutely no sound,
no matter what I do. Their analog picture and sound are OK.

Anyone else having a similar problem?

Like I say, all other channels are OK. Just this one has no sound.

Thanks for the info.

So, the commonality is that the channel I am having trouble with is also
a WB channel.

I don't think my OTA has an MTS setting but I'll try setting the TV for
that.

Then I'll contact the station.

Again, thanks for the response.
