Ntropolis 600 Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 WBBH is STILL in widescreen SD.....looks like the HD date was a lie. Unless it's later today. When today passes and they're still in widescreen SD I'll remove it from the "HD soon" and add it to the widescreen SD list.

Ntropolis 600 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Posted February 2, 2008 Well, you can blame whoever posted it in Wikipedia for that one, and to think I actually had my hopes up. Someone reported it on AVS Forum first, then I mentioned it here because I saw it, then someone put it on Wikipedia.
PTVNews 197 Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 There is a credible rumor that says KATU will be HD by November.
takingaction4you 4 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 WTAE is getting closer and closer to becoming HD ready... This morning they were using their regular school delay graphics on the regular analog feed but their digitial feed on Comcast was in HD and it was using a different styling. This was the first morning they have used it, so I'm assuming they'll probably switch over sometime soon. Regular HD --Note the new bug and different font scheme
Ntropolis 600 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Posted February 22, 2008 That doesn't mean too much. It just means they have an HD graphics generator now. WAVY/WVBT just got one recently, and they now have school closings, election results, severe weather crawls, and on-screen IDs in HD. It is, however, a step towards local HD... we know WTAE has the set and graphics capability. And since when did you get an HD tuner?

If you plug your digital cable box into your computer via firewire you can capture video and take still images from that video. It's the one thing Comcast is good for! The video is .m2t, and I don't know how to put it into another format, though.

You must have an HD settop box, because the standard ones don't have the firewire port. Then again, my boxes are a couple of years old, so they might have changed.
qunewsguy 380 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 As of 11pm EST tonight KJRH in Tulsa, OK launched local HD news. Pretty understated launch.

Then again, my boxes are a couple of years old, so they might have changed. I think it's only a particular Moto box, which I happen to have. Christian, get VLC Player. You can open the m2t videos in there, and use the Streaming/Exporting Wizard to transcode to a MOV file or even an MP4.

I already have VLC Player, so I'll play around with the streaming/exporting wizard. I'm assuming you're using your Mac to capture this, Matt? I found a really nice way to do it on my old iMac G4.

sfomspphl 513 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 KPIX 5 in San Francisco looks like it will go HD next week. Saw a press release that they will start a 10pm newscast on their duopoly station on March 3rd that will be "broadcast in HD." KPIX hasn't had a structural set change since 1996 -- just a refresh around 2001/2002. Heard rumors the old KCBS set was trucked up there. We will see...

KPIX hasn't had a structural set change since 1996 -- just a refresh around 2001/2002. Heard rumors the old KCBS set was trucked up there. We will see... They already are in HD....and have been for quite some time.... Also wondering....perhaps the 10pm newscast will be on Channel 44, similar to what KGO does with TV20, is it?

Also wondering....perhaps the 10pm newscast will be on Channel 44, similar to what KGO does with TV20, is it? Ah, I should have googled...they've been doing hd since the beginning of the month. So much for the new set hopes. 10pm will be on 44 - 30 minutes, using the primary 11pm team. http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6529271.html?industryid=47169

Why would they try again?
abric 186 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Dennis Richmond is planning to retire from KTVU, so they seem this is their chance.
bostonmediaguy 125 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 KCNC/Denver (CBS O&O) goes HD in April. (http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_8379460).
RGSJenkins 435 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Dennis Richmond is planning to retire from KTVU, so they seem this is their chance. KTVU's already in HD since October '06, the first in the market.
caliwxdude 255 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Since we're on a Bay Area tangent, KRON should be added to the 16:9 SD list.
Mrtraveler01 739 Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Rumor is WTVT will be ready to go HD in March...this is from FLNewsCenter. Do you think that they will go to the more standard O&O package or is the one they have already HD capable.
d247 43 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 This week KJRH became the first station here in Tulsa to go HD with new graphics but the same music (The NBC Collection)
Alain 17 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 WTVJ was testing out HD yesterday during the 4pm and 5pm hour, they had some glitches, (half of a newsupdate was in SD, and in SD, the l3s ran off the screen).. Probably launch on Monday...
PelicanGuy 117 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 WAFB went HD with it's newscasts yesterday...along with a new graphics package. The music is still the same.
