UPDATE 6:33 AM: WXIX-TV 19/Newport switched over right at 6 AM. Again, Insight Cable made the switch with no problem in Northern Kentucky.
WKRC-TV is now in digital as well. We heard them fire up the new signal from the RF 12 transmitter just before 4:00 AM.
The last station to go digital-only will be WLWT-TV 5/Cincinnati at 11:59 PM tonight...
The original item is below.

We can't get away...
We have a report, via the AVS Forum, that at least one DirectTV user can get WKRC-TV 12 following it's termination of the over-the-air analog AND digital signals just after 1:30 AM. This was as of 3:11 AM.
As of 3:20 AM, however, the WKRC DT signal is still not yet available to us here at TSMW HQ using our Insight service.
Coming up in a couple hours: an update to the WKRC situation and, if we wake up in time, a play-by-play of the WXIX transition which is scheduled for 6:00 AM...we had to do an update to the TSDTW/TSMW Laptop...

Insight must be picking up local signals OTA instead of via direct feed from the stations' master control. Penny-pinching to say the least!
ReplyDeleteWKRC provides a direct feed to the DirecTV uplink, hence DirecTV viewers never lost Local 12.
