Getting it Atlanta but getting a lot of drop outs, Signal is strong though. I hope it is ABC related vs local problem.

Scoofer - I received this yesterday morning from the ABC-Station which is why I knew about the problems:
"I just wanted to let you know our problem before tonight’s game. Last night, I noticed the game did not switch at 8 PM. I called master control to have them throw the switch but was told nothing was on the satellite in HD. The operator checked the receiver in the equipment room just to find the signal was too weak to lock. The signal finally improved and the operator put it on the air about 10 PM. ABC is sending us a new LNB to troubleshoot our dish. I hope for the best tonight but if you do not have HD, this is the reason"
I don't know if you noticed, but the Feed went HD for about 10-20 minutes a little after 10pm. Unfortunately I am guessing that we will not get the NBA game in HD either. This relates back to previous information from ABC that they do not have any spares on hand and only broadcasting on 50% power in Charlotte for financial reasons. Hopefully they get this solved and if not switch over to the HD feed around 10pm again and see what is so magical about that time so it starts working then two nights in a row :)

I got it TW NYC and it looked awesome!
It seemed like the time/score graphic was located on the upper left edge of the 4 x 3 frame. This made it look like the graphic was floating in the middle of nowhere.
Are they able to put graphics in the new area created by watching a 16 x 9 image?

We were getting good feed here in MD.
But there seemed to be some issues with the resolution at times, looked liked it dropped in a few shots. It looked splendid otherwise.
