Audio Check NYC Area 24-1

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

For the last two days I've been getting only SD video from digital
channel 24-1 (WNYC 25 UHF analog). In the past I have had normal video
and audio, although the transmitter atop Brooklyn Tech H.S. in
Brooklyn is probably at or below my -3dB bandwidth point and I've
occasionally gotten pixealtion (I'm in Nassau County with antenna
pointed twds mid/downtown NYC).Could someone in the area please check
whether they experience the same. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. What you say is interesting because there was
a period from when I first got my SIR-T350 about a month or so ago to
about two weeks ago that I was able to get picture and sound, althogh
with some occassional 'pixelation'. A signal level check both then and
now was three bars. WNYE, are you listening?
