Self-deleting channels

Just because I haven't posted to this blog in over a year doesn't mean that there haven't been problems with digital television in all that time. Quite the contrary. It's just that they've tended to be some of the same nuisances (a little rain throws off reception, etc.)

However, the old self-deleting channel nuisance has now been happening with Channel 62 a lot, and now I've just memorized 44-1. Almost every time I turn on my Dynex TV, there's no 62-1. I don't even bother with the add-on program search, I just punch 44-1 on the remote. And the next time I want to watch a show on that channel, I will just punch in 44-1 again.

The frequency could of course change in the future. Hopefully they'll change it to one that doesn't cause the channel to inexplicably self-delete.
