Not seeing WFRV-DT right now either.

It had better be back up in time for Numb3rs tomorrow night... that's all I'm saying.

Something still doesn't look

Something still doesn't look right. I see no HD feeds over this channel. I scroll through the channel guide and none of the normal HD feeds have the HD logo next to the listing...so could they just me simulcasting the SD feed? Did somethings happen to the high def equipment?

Young and the Restless is HD

Young and the Restless is HD (11-Noon) but nothing else is until primetime. If you see SD in primetime, then something's really up over at WFRV.

Not sure where you're

Not sure where you're located, but I have it in Appleton over the air just fine. No problems since that outage earlier in the year.

teenbean2: digitaldean - I just hooked my outdoor antenna to the existing cable junction box that is mounted outside the box. I unscrewed the Time Warner Cable and hooked my cable to the cable wire going into...
on Which antenna placement is better?

Keith: It looks good to me. Obviously a great improvement over what it was. I like the colors, the bug on the right with the simple temp and time, the panning out, and the text scroll at the bottom....
TvBoy: Damn, For as long as it took to get that thing launched, I was pretty disappointed. Not that impressive. Better than the last set, but not worth the price paid.
