NBC HD Feed in New Orleans

[Michael1025]

Has anyone in the New Orleans area had any luck pulling in the NBC HD signal during the past week?

Their transmitter has been down since Hurricane Katrina, but I've seen ads this week from WDSU indicating that they now have an HD feed available on Channel 6.1. I haven't had any luck getting it...thinking of adjusting my antenna next.

Anyone getting this channel now?

do you know which frequency channel they are actually using? you would need a vhf/uhf combo antenna if it was actually on channel 6 frequency and the other locals are on uhf channels.

have you checked on the New Orleans OTA thread at avs forums?

WSDU's digital channel actually broadcasts on UHF Channel 43. Your HR10 will map that channel to 6.1, but you'll need a UHF antenna to receive their signal.

Certainly check out the New Orleans thread in the "Local HDTV Reception Forum" at http://www.avsforum.com.

Also, that should be WDSU.:)

I checked it out on AVS - turns out the WDSU is not broadcasting OTA; you can only get it right now with DirecTV's new HR20 receiver.
