Fox 6 update

[borghe]

I just turned on WITI-DT for the first time this season and the boradcast is currently filling the whole screen. Whether they have it stretched to 16:9 or 14:9 I don't know, and I also don't know if they are passing through the Fox Widescreen signal yet. I may actually watch a Widescreen show just to check. Will let you know.

I turned my attic UHF antenna toward Milw. from Madison and FOX digital 6 comes in fine. Unlike others, I find it better than the analog channel. (no noise and better color) Packer game came in fine. But it is not HD and only SD stretched. Once Wisn is up it will be nice not to keep switching to analog tuner except for 24 and 18.

Did you see the 16 x 9 screen in the background during the Packer game. When they switched to Collingsworth, Aikman, et al. it was in the background. They never showed any live pictures on it during the game, just graphics. I wondered why they would bother installing this if the game wasn't in "widescreen". Since I can't receive Faux's micro signal I didn't know if they were widescreen. I wonder if 6 has the equipment to do anything other than upconverts.
