Huh! Tonight on KULX-DT 10.2 is The English cable channel Home Shopping Network.
Um, okay!? ;D

I can't pull it in, but is it still there? I wonder if the transponder for Telemundo got moved or something.
Is telemundoutah.net their real website? That's not working either.

Still there, as of this post. Satellite error?

10-1 is the HDTV Telemundo feed.
10-3 is the Spanish-language weather.
10-2 is probably what's paying the power bill for the new DTV transmitter. It's been on at different times lately, so I think John probably runs it when the Telemundo feed is true HD, to encourage folks to watch the HD side.

I have to admit I just don't understand the reasoning behind dual feeds like Fox13, CW30 and KULX. The only advantage I can see is that native 4:3 programming isn't letterboxed. Yes, on a 4:3 screen it will be dual letterboxed (top/bottom and sides) but do people really care that much? It seems to me that it would be more of a financial advantage to have something (anything) else using the extra bandwidth, even if that's just a shopping channel. (Memo to KTMW/20: Ditto for you. 4 copies? Really?)
One thing that's odd about the specific choice for extra material on 10 is that Telemundo's parent NBC owns ShopNBC. I wonder why they didn't pick that.
