Hello, I'm using the HDTV Wonder to view OTA Hi Def channels. CTV comes in on 9-1 with 91% signal strength but I get NO video. I do get audio but I can not see a picture. All my other channels are fine including the Bufallo ones. CTV did work a few months ago then the screen went blank. I've tried re-scanning and re-Installing the software but I get the same result. Does anyone know what is happening. Any help is appreciated...........thanks

CTV HD is certianly doing something screwy. My set picks up 40-4 and re-labels that subchannel 9-1. My set also picks up 40-1 and 40-2 but there is no picture on those sub channels. When I select 9-1 on my tuner I automaticaly go to 40-4 for picture and sound. When I perform a scan to automaticaly pick up any channel available again the set picks up 40-4 (re-labels that 9-1), 40-1 & 40-2. So I guess the subchannels 40-1 and 40-2 are active with black being fed into them.

CTV needs to clean up their act. they also don't provide PSIP information either.

Maybe someone should contact CFTO's Technical Department and ask them what is going on...

Funny thing about CFTO HD, I would get it in MCE2005 once in a blue moon. Sometimes it would just pop in, mostly from using watchhdtv 1.6 instead of MCE2005 or ATI DTV.

One morning I pulled it in MCE2005 at 40-4 freq: 40.

When I add this channel in MCE2005: I enter "9" "1" in the two boxes, then for frequency I add "40" is this what you are doing too?

Anyone call the technical ppl yet?

Comes in on 40-4 (no 9-1 mapping) for me. 40-2 and 40-3 exist but are blank (oddly no 40-1...)

CFTO is working here and haven't seen blackouts lately, maybe because my soft automatically scans for it each time.
