...an understandable mistake. I almost did the same myself when I first got it. They did say "frequency" after all.



Sometimes the subchannels don't start with .1. Many (most?) of my stations start with .3 for the subchannel. The "channel" column on the antennaweb.org site is wrong as often as not, at least in listing the subchannel as .1 for all the stations. The only way I knew the proper subchannel was because I have a regular OTA tuner that I used to find the channels first, then I tuned them with the HDHomerun.

...so try 53.3 and see if that works.

Note that Wikipedia may very well be wrong on the subchannels too. It lists 53.1, 53.2, and 53.3, but I'd bet $20 that it's 53.3, 53.4 and 53.5.

ALSO note that on Feb. 17th 2009 (digital transition date) KABC will be moving to 7. Right now it's definitely 53.x, probably 53.3, and after Feb. 17th it will be 7.x (either 7.1 or 7.3).

I been using the channel editor that is part of vlc that i use on my htpc to verify channel numbers and subchannel.

Because my xbox and htpc are going thru my avr, i can switch inputs to view back and forth to verify the reception and signal intensity.


53.1 is KABC-DT, 53.2 is KABC-SD, and 53.3 is KABC-WN.
which is 7.1 live broadcast, 7.2 plus rerun of live broadcasts, and 7.3 weather doppler network for kabc.

Tried them all and still no go.:mad:
