Looks like the “off air” footage is someone driving around Chicago with a camera and drone. I only had to do a rescan to get the new channel names for 62.2 (Chicago) and 62.3 (ChPlus). It is currently broadcasting OTA in 1080i at 30hz, although I would have preferred 720p and 60hz as sports always look better in 60hz as the action is less choppy.
**Update @ 7:20 CST:**
Upon looking again, maybe they are still testing/refining the broadcast setup as it looks like 62.3 changed:
62.2 is in 1080i at 30hz 62.3 is in 720p at 60hz
I can’t even comfortably watch highlights in 30hz, hopefully this won’t be what it’s like at the official launch tonight.
Nothing in Rockford yet
Feels very 80s to me watching sports ota. I’m hoping for a cellozzi ettleson Chevy commercial where I always save more money. Truelink fence? Victory auto wreckers?
Rescanned a minute ago and both channels said off air. Is that just me and my crappy OTA antenna or is it *actually* off air?
still unable to find it and i rescanned with my antenna. is the game tonight the official launch? are they having intermittent connection or something?
Damn, I’m feeling pretty nostalgic rooting for a Hawks team that sucks and I can’t watch them on tv. Feel like a kid again.
