Re: LA: KCAL9 Poor Signal

I figured it out, I had to re-scan the channels to get KCAL 9.1 back. You
learn something new everyday. One would assume HD TV is like SD TV as far
as tuning, but this is not the case. I had to reprogram my Favorite
channels, which sucks coz I only have 30 presets. I'm thinking of setting
my TV to only receive HD channels, since most of the channels have an HD
counterpart, and some of my VHF channels are not as strong as the DT
counterparts. I hope I don't have to do this every time my ATSC tuner loses
sync.

I have a Panasonic 42PD50U with a built in ATSC tuner. I was receiving
KCAL
9.1 fine until last Friday. I keep getting "Poor Signal Quality" on my
screen with an 82% signal on the meter. I've checked other reading from
the
other DT channels and it goes as low as 77%. I'm using a Yagi type UHF
antenna and receive most is not all the DT signals in the LA basin and the
OC. I was wondering if it was just me or is everyone else not able to
receive KCAL 9.1?

Thanks in Advance,

I wish I had an outdoor antenna, but, being down in San Clemente, I
don't know if the signals from all the L.A. stastions would be strong
enough to see w/o noise.

I get KCAL Channel 9 via Cox Cable, so I'm getting it "2nd hand" you
might say. I've not noticed any deterioration of any kind the last
several days.
