Well, okay, that means it isn’t a bad as it looks. And you’re right about the Spanish audio — but I’m still not watching the WB!
Here’s what I misinterpreted.
In the NYC reception area, WPIX channel 11 is the NTSC WB over-the-air signal. UHF channel 33 is the actual ATSC broadcast channel for the WB. (To reduce confusion, the actual broadcast channel doesn’t appear; it is replaced with the NTSC channel designation with a -
n to indicate the individual, or sub, channels.)
As you can see in these screen shots taken last night, the channel 11-1 WPIX-DT image shows an icon for Dolby digital 5.1 as opposed to the channel 11-2 image with its icon for Dolby digital stereo (sometimes in Spanish).
It’s the same 16:9 1080i HD video; just the audio changes. I feel better about the technical thing, but I’m still not watching the WB!
