AntennaTV to start Jan 1, 2011 !

Probably around 1 to 2 mbps. I do think the quality will suffer slightly or KSWB might have the equipment to rate shape the splicer, even though Fox doesn't allow it. There are ways to do that.
Fox has already rolled out the new Splicer 2.0 and they are now moving on to Phase 2 which has already started. Phase 2 will allow for weather alerts while in HD mode. The old splicer required you to go into SD mode in order to display weather alerts.

Last time I checked KSWB-DT, they were running at 15.1 mbps for the main channel which is about right for Fox. Fox uses VBR, which is hard to predict how much they would need for the sub channels. I wouldn't expect no more than 1.5 mbps, if not less. If KSWB does decide to rate shape the splicer, then it can be bad. KSWB has been doing ok lately for HD programming. I haven't seen them screw up by going into SD mode.
If KSWB keeps sending the full data payload from FOX for the main programming and then uses statistical multiplexing to steal between 69.2 and 69.3 then things needn't be too bad.
I'll take some occasional macroblocking on one of the two secondary channels from time to time in exchange for an unmolested feed of FOX sports and primetime.
Let's hope KSWB can get the word to Tribune Media Service that THIS TV has moved to 69.3

What's good about Antenna TV is, (and I heard this over at Sitcoms On-Line
1.) They will not have any station logo during programing.
2.) No split screens
3.) No credit crunches
4.) They won't do any editing or time-compression. (Anything edited will come from the distributer.)

I've e-mailed Zap2it a few times for channel lineup changes. It's not that hard for them to do.JimboG said:
Fox also uses VBR on their HD feed, so good statmuxing will be needed to run 2 subchannels. Then again, some Fox affiliates are going to be running MobileDTV alongside their HD feed and SD subchannel.

Sounds good but TWC San Diego will probably never carry it as they don't seem to carry ThisTV.Satch said:What's good about Antenna TV is, (and I heard this over at Sitcoms On-Line

I noticed today that I have this channel on Ch 127 on Cox. Looking through the guide, it looks like it has a lot of old shows that I will enjoy. It seems to be sort of like TV Land. Cox also has added ThisTV on Ch 128.

By now you would think that KSWB would have their PSIP running for their channels and listings available, or at least my digital converter is not picking up the info. Overall I really like Antenna TV. What makes it ironic is the Tribune Media Services is a major distributor of television channel listings in various forms.

It could be that the local station doesn't have its multiplexer set up yet to pass that part of PSIP. I see the listings in the Cox guide but of course that isn't PSIP derived.
