question about WB reception after HD upgrade is complete:

[LonghornXP]

Sorry for starting a new post about this. Right now I can pull in on my Jensen TV910 indoor antenna WB on channel 57-3 with a signal strength between normal and good on my Zenith SAT520. Well NBC reads just at good and fox reads about the same as WB right now which does come in very good with no problems. But ABC, CBS, PBS, UPN, WMOR and PAX shows a signal all the way to the right which means perfect signal in my mind. Now my question is this......

It's my understanding that WB is currently on very low or lower power than these other stations. So would I assume correctly that WB would boost its power close to the others when they go HD so I could get a better signal to help in additional weather based situations if they arise.

Thanks for reading through all of this and hope this can answer others on here who haven't asked nor thought to ask this question. What good is HD if most still can't receive it.

I actually have an outdoor CM 3021 and I'm getting channel 57 around 70s to 80s in signal strength. But I get 100s on every other channel.

What you are saying about WB not being at full signal power might be the reason why I don't get a 100 on WB. Where did you hear that WB was on low power?

Well I'm not sure if they are on low power but at least lower than all the others. Maybe someone else can provide further information. To put it this way with my indoor antenna NBC and FOX (VHF channels) come in better or the same as WB. On the other hand all of my UHF channels have signal strengths between 85-100 if I had to guess since my box reads bad, normal and good readings and not % numbers. UPN, ABC, CBS and PBS are just as strong as UPN. Just so you know here are my stations based in order from best to worst quality signal.

Good readouts
3-5 PBS
10-1 CBS
28-1 ABC
32-1 WMOR
44-1 UPN
66-1 PAX

Normal readouts
8-1 NBC
57-3 WB
13-1 FOX

Bad readouts
no channels

Of the normal readouts both NBC and WB are at normal just next to Good while FOX is in the middle of Bad and Good under normal.

This gives you an idea of what I'm getting. I'm using an indoor antenna which is the Jensen TV910 and I'm in zipcode 33771.
