ABC to disrupt HDTV feed

ABC 8 WMTW-TV viewers in Portland, OR, will have to go without watching HDTV for a little while next week.

The ABC television network will interrupt HDTV feeds to several affiliate stations Aug. 23 – Aug. 26 while it performs upgrades at its HDTV release facility.

Programming will not be interrupted. But viewers watching on HDTV equipment will see an upconverted networked feed instead of the usual HD feed while the upgrade is taking place.
