So now the DTV transition is finally done. We can now get on with the debugging.

Locally, I have been enjoying DTV for some time now. I’ve generally gotten better reception than with analogue, and it has been good.

In the pre-transition period, all of the channels but one were using their final frequencies. Channel 6, for some reason, though, had decided to move their digital signal to the frequency used for analogue 6 after switching off the analogue signal. I can’t figure why they did this, because it means they have to buy more equipment, but whatever.

With channel 13 switching off their analogue signal, I now get channel 51, previously unavailable to me because their signal is on the frequency that was used for analogue 13.

All is well in the upstairs of my house.

Unfortunately, downstairs, we have a problem getting channel 6 now. This is happening at the same time that channel 6 is in a pissing match with our satellite provider and theatening to pull their signal off.

But it worked before, so I’m puzzled why they messed with it.

More to come as things develop, I guess.
