With the turnoff just seven months away, they need to get all the kinks worked out... Dennis I’ve found that if you bring a problem to their attention they’re usually glad to know there’s a problem.

It's working now, so hopefully that was the problem. The engineer I spoke to was very helpful. I contacted them last week, the engineer looked into a corrupted PSIP file as the possible culprit.

They lost HD capability and were even stretching the SD picture. Apparently they received their new replacement equipment parts and can now broadcast HD and SD is not stretched anymore. I wonder if some of their new equipment is not configured properly and sending out some weird PSIP data.

A $48 Magnavox DT converter from Wal Mart works just fine. Drake says there must be something weird going on with KFOR's stream, but don't know what it could be. Yesterday I took a Polaroid 19" LCD TV to the tower and it would not lock onto KFOR's signal. Worked fine on every other OKC channel.

Yesterday, it worked great for the entire 5 hours or so of the Men's final at Wimbledon plus rain delays. I know for a fact that Suddenlink was broadasting it because I talked to a friend about it during the match and he only has cable. Dennis At 5:40 p.m., it’s working fine for NBC Nightly News in HD.
