One of my favorite shows is Nature on OETA PBS-HD Sunday night. This past weekend they had a Nature show about sharks on the SD-13 (as listed in the newspaper), but on HD 13-1 it was a Nature episode about dogs. I suspect that the shark program might not have been available in HD, so [...]

I submitted a question to OETA wondering when they were going to start simulcasting their local programming. Here was their response: We are currently broadcasting HD in the Tulsa area on Channel 38 over the air from 6:00pm to 10:00pm Monday through Sunday. We currently have FCC Approval for an extension to allow us more [...]

Does anyone know when KETA (PBS) will go full power and 24/7? I thought it was suppose to be after the first of the year, but have not heard anything.

Does anyone know of a reliable source with correct listings for OETA channel 32-1 evening broadcasts from OKC? OETA’s website appears to only list their analog broadcasting. I find many times while flipping thru channels that what is showing on the DT broadcast is not the same as analog 13. I find the listings on [...]

Well, here it is almost Thanksgiving and I thought I would ask if anyone has heard if OETA might be finally finishing their new control center? It is starting to look like a horse race to see which is finished first, OETA control center or the I-40 reconstruction project.

You probably thought that OETA would end testing and expand their schedule when their Oklahoma City control room was finished in September or October. Well, the wait will be extended another two or three months.

The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), KCTS/Seattle Public Television and NHK of Japan will provide 17 digital PBS stations across the country with live, high-definition (HDTV) coverage of both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, marking the first time these major public events will be broadcast in this new digital television format. HDTV combines crystal-clear widescreen [...]

Does there exist somewhere a programing guide for the digital PBS channel KETA ? I would like to be able to catch the shows I am interested in but I never know what is coming and when. The only thing I have is the nightly listings on this website.

I am not receiving any KETA-HD programming info yet on my new HDTivo program guide-it continues to say “Normal Programming” or someting like that. All of my other HDTV frequencies have populated their programming data. Any one else having this problem? Also, I’m having pixelation and periodic dropouts while my signals are quite strong (in [...]

I just happened to turn to KETA-DT after West Wing concluded on KFOR-DT. They are running an HDTV program on The Cowboy Hall of Fame. From their website, I believe it is this program, Legacy http://www.oeta.onenet.net/legacy.html So far it is a very nice program, hopefully they will give advance notice if this is screened again. [...]

Telephone Conversation with KETA (OKC Channel 13, Digital 32) I spoke to Mr. Thrush, who said that KETA expects PBS to begin the 24/7 HD feed in January 2004. Around that time, the station also expects to double their power from 500 Kw to 1 Mw, and extend their hours, now 6pm to 10pm. However, [...]

I talked to OETA Friday and the digital transmitters have arrived at the Tulsa, Cheyene, and Eufaula sites. The transmitters have not been installed yet but will be very soon and there is a little tower work that still needs to be completed. KOED in Tulsa will probably broadacast the same amount of hours as [...]

I just watched my first breathtakingly beautiful HDTV program at home – the PBS repeat of last Sunday’s “A Mystery in Alaska” (Nature). Of course, the spectular scenery of the Alaskan coastline, the wonder of the seals and fish, and the skill of the Nature cinematographers added to the impact.

When KETA-DT broadcasts on four subchannels I cannot receive the sound on my RCA F38310 set on any of the four subchannels.

Update: OETA has informed me that they have changed the time that KETA-DT will broadcast. KETA-DT will broadcast from 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM 7 days week. Plans are still a go for sign on tommow! I have got on a lot of information regarding this so hang on. KETA–DT in OKC, will starting broadcasting [...]
