Is HDNet still broadcasting their test pattern? I have searched, but cannot find a listing for it anywhere.

I haven't seen it in the guide for some time. Wonder if the change to AXS TV may have something to do with it.

I record the last time slot I knew it was in every Saturday morning (just for the fun of it) ... but I have not seen it lately.

The name change does explain why DISH has an "AXS" SD channel on HDNet's channel number.

Oh yeah, I remember. Back in January we had a thread on this HDNet to become AXSTV this summer, Ryan Seacrest now part owner , but it was over in the DirecTV area and my plea to move it apparently went unread by any moderator.

EDIT: which raises an interesting question about the popularity of that channel. Where's all the discussion and troubled millions of viewers????

I take it then that NO ONE is boradcasting an HD test pattern similar to the one that HDNET used to broadcast? That's too bad. It was rather handy to have. It was only ten minutes long (or so) and I recorded it and kept it in all three of my DVRs, but one of them died and needed to be replaced.

Sigh...
