A couple things; Blazers are bad and need to be sold asap. Trying to hunt down how to watch the Blazers on katu 2.2 is a hot mess and not worth even trying.

Hearing some really bad things about the antennae situation and 2.2

ItтАЩs just not seamless and not worth the trouble. Are all home games broadcast on this format? I thought all Blazer games were just on the standard ABC KATU channel this year.

" I thought all Blazer games were just on the standard ABC KATU channel this year."

So did I, because that's how it was advertised leading up to the game. Saw the "2.2" listed in the paper so eventually figured it out and tuned in via my antenna for a couple of seconds to check it out, then went back to YouTube, as I long ago quit caring about or watching the Blazers.

They are on Charge/KATU 2.2 so just click your remote up one more on the channel on your remote. If you are on KATU 2 then click up one more channel with your remote and you will find Charge/KATU 2.2...I had no problem at all.

You have to scan your digital tuner tv. However, if you have already scanned 2.1, then 2.2 should follow, unless you edited/deleted a lot of the weird extra channels. Since digital subchannels are not familiar to a lot of folks, they may not know the process of scanning and re-setting channel selection. Also from time to time channels change signal strength and subchannel carriers. Also, for some reason, "translators"--localized rebroadcasting transmitters may not have all subchannels available. (technically speaking each subchannel may transmit its own bandwidth and signal strength, may be digital, but not HDTV signal). Of course, I assume everyone know we are talking about over the air signals received with a proper digital antenna.--not cable. As far as I know cable and satellite tv are not required to carry KATU's subchannels.

That's correct. I have the digital antenna that needs to be scanned/updated from time to time. Thank God that's what I have because I'm able to watch Kraken games on the KGW subchannel.

If you have Xfinity, games are on 302 and 1170. No antenna needed. Why didnтАЩt the Blazers or Xfinity just say this???

Why don't the just put the games on a main channel, either KATU itself or something like whatever channel the CW or another semi-independent station is on? Not that it's unusual for the current Blazer management, but ... as the saying goes .... this sounds penny wise and pound foolish
