I picked up a Philips 32PF5321D 32" at Costco the other
day. (I tried the 37" Viewsonic at Costco, but it wouldn't
pull in the QAM channels from Rogers, and the picture
left much to be desired.)
The Philips picture is excellent and I get all the Rogers
unscrambled channels. The "on demand" channels are crazy
-- on Saturday night I piggybacked onto someone who was
watching Syriana. A couple times they paused the playback
and rewound it a few minutes.
I get most of the channels that you've listed, Daniel
- but a few aren't coming in. Particularly the Food Network
on 114.2206. Any idea why I'd get most, but not all these
channels?
After the Philips does the channel scan, it then takes
about 20 minutes to "sort" the 400+ channels. Then when
I flip through the channels it's found, I see channels
114.2201, 114.2202, 114.2203 etc, but there's no picture
on any of these.
If I try rescanning for digital channels, sometimes the
channel listing changes and the 114.xxxx channels disappear
altogether.
billybobcdn - I have a 42" LG LCD tv with a built in tuner as well. When i autoscan (EZ-scan) i get a bunch of blank digital channels as well. The blank ones for me (and maybe for u too) are scrambled channels. The ez-scan adds them to my channel listing, and when i go to them, a bubble floats around saying scrambled...sometimes i get a bubble saying no signal, but more aften than not they are scrambled. If i change to these channels then away then back, they will have been removed from my list (i.e. go up then down then up again) which is very convenient b/c i cant view them anyways. Hope this helps.
Daniel - Since Rogers has changed their lineup, i no longer see sportnet on 78.50-78.52 like you have in your list. I beleive the only one i still get is on 78.52. Do they all still work on ur TV? I am in woodbridge.
