Audio from one DX TV station and video from another?

C

clichemoth

Has this happened to anyone else?

Right now on channel 8, I have PBS audio (from WGPB in Athens, GA) and infomercial video (from WAKA in Selma, AL).

Also getting WSB-2, WAGA-5, and WPXA-14 from the Atlanta market. WAKA is my first Montgomery/Selma TV catch, and I don't seem to be getting the others.

This is common everyday in Gary Indiana with ch. 28. I get the audio of WSJV 28 South Bend Indiana and the video of WOCH-LP from Chicago. That will change once the analog is shut off and WSJV is forced to move their digital to their analog channel and go non-directional (currently they must protect WCIU 26 in Chicago, which is why they have a null to the west, which was setup back in the 60's or 70's), which will knock off the lp station in Chicago.

It's happened to me a few times here in NW Alabama, on Channel 2. Got the video from Big 2 in Midland/Odessa TX with the audio from KPRC in Houston. And once, as the E-skip "moved", the Audio signal would fade out (or change) before the Video changed. Ever wondered what Regis Philbin sounds like with Kermit the Frog's voice? I can die a happy man......

Bah, it has nothing on Dr. D. James Kennedy sounding like Miguel from "Maya and Miguel", which is what I was getting when I first tuned to 8 this morning. I was thinking "I don't remember him sounding so high-pitched and Latino" until I caught on to what was happening. :)
