After Friday's Digital TV transition, UNC-TV has disappeared from my 
Raleigh televisions.

The UNC-TV website (http://www.unctv.org) has this to say:

"- SPECIAL NOTICE -

Some viewers of UNC-TV's over-the-air digital signal in the Chapel Hill 
area -- the signal from WUNC Channel 25 -- are experiencing reception 
problems following the federally-mandated shutoff of all analog 
television signals.

We believe the interference is caused by the low-power signal from 
another broadcasting station in Durham.  UNC-TV is actively working on 
technical modifications that we hope will resolve or improve the 
situation soon.

Thank you for your patience as we address this problem."

... and I heard this from my brother today:

"I e-mailed them. They are upgrading their analog antenna to digital - 
they have a digital one already, but the strength is not enough to reach 
all their viewing areas (i.e. my house). Techie suggested better antenna 
or waiting 90-120 days for project completion."


Chapel Hill viewers can't even see the signal? And a low-power Durham 
station is supposedly to blame? You've got to be kidding.

What say you, INW viewers? Are you getting an over-the-air digital 
UNC-TV signal at your location? It's completely GONE in Raleigh, even 
with my mega-huge antenna.
