Very interesting read about PBS and HD

Monday, February 11th, 2008

I added an amplifier to my house antenna, which means I now get all the Baltimore digital channels, but one of the things that has been frustrating me is why I don’t get the same programs on the WETA-HD as I do on on WETA’s analogue channel. I now have a better idea after reading this article. Which explain that the master PBS feed has a lot to do with it. Personally I would love it if WETA would flip there HD main channel or even a sub channel to match their analogue, that way I don’t have to suffer a crappy analogue channel. One of the reasons I put in the amplifier was to get MPT which matches its analogue channel to its HD channel by upscaling the signal to HD. Oh well, even if it is not HD the quality of upscaled is better than analogue so it is the lesser of the evils.
