Pinch me. Please, pinch me. Why does it have to be on 1801 first before transferring to 1806? What's up with that? Now let's move on to ESPN2!!!  |

Just seemed odd. But I'm not complaining. Now that Sinclair has fallen suit, do you think Tribune is far behind and we could see WEWB on the Lineup within, say, the next month? |

I would like to say "you're welcome" to everyone who appreciates WRGB finally coming on board with TW. The reason this happened is that I just paid $90 for a new outdoor antenna and will pay another $90 to have it installed. I did this primarily so I could achieve a good picture OTA for channel 6. I guess if I pay a little more, maybe WEWB will also agree to broadcast on TW.  |

This is great news... I'd held out purchasing an HD tuner for the last six months in the hopes this would happen sooner rather than later. Looks like we're all in luck.

But I'm greedy, I want all of the channels on TWC, and soon. Anyone know how many HDTV channels TWC can add before they have to either power down some of them for bandwidth reasons or have to remove some SDTV channels to fit them in? |

I can think of about 150 channels on twc that I don't watch . They could get rid of all the analog channels and just give me 40 hdtv channels and I would be happy .
