WYMD Yeah.

I"m frustrated because my TV card scans for new channels, and won't save channels it's already found! I've lost all the HD channels I had earlier today! This isn't Digital TV's fault, but not knowing the channel numbers is contributing to my headaches right now.

Oh, and one improvement I see in Digital TV's future is something similar to the skip protection found on CD players, where the TV will buffer a few seconds of video to compensate for a poor signal...

EDIT:

Okay, I know that Cw50 is channel 14 on my tuner channel, but it's also called 50.1 WMYD TV 20 seems to be channel 21, but is also called 20.1. There's a 20.2 channel that seems to be on the same channel...???

My TV card software is being very cryptic about information such as channel numbers, so I can't give any better info.

EDIT 2: I strongly suspect that the digital TV transmitters are located in different areas of Detriot then their analog counterparts. This is suspected because on an antenna I rigged up, certain analog channels come in almost perfectly, but their digital counterparts won't come in at all. Rotating the antenna allows the digital channels to return, with so so analog...
