KAXT in San Francisco area..

[arnoldevns]

I see where KAXT-CA has something like a dozen subchannels and 3 audio subchannels on its one digital frequency. I'd be curious to know from people in the SF area how this station looks. It seems to me that many subchannels on one frequency would look awful. I'm just curious if maybe they've figured out a way to make it work.

I've never seen it, Its not on cable

My question is really about picture quality. With 12 TV subchannels and several audio only subchannles, I would think they would have huge problems with pixilization. If they've solved this somehow and make them look good, it's an impressive engineering feat.

The audio-only subchannels compress very well & shouldn't need much bandwidth. But 12 TV channels is indeed quite a feat!

1.9 Corner Store has actually been airing Mandarin Chinese programming. I believe the station identify themselves as (in Chinese) "North America's Hung Sing Satellite Television Channel 1.9"

The picture quality and sound quality has actually been ok thus far.

That's impressive. If they've figured out how to do that many channels, they're going to have a lot of engineers asking how they did it.
