aljazeera america hd on now

 

[levibluewa]

Is it correct to say that all of the HD channels on 72.7 are mpeg4?
What about the HD channels on 129 ... mpeg2, 4, mix?
With the addition of the HD feed of Aljazera how many more HD signals can be added? I thought 129 was maxing out.

 

[dishrich]

Is it correct to say that all of the HD channels on 72.7 are mpeg4?

ALL channels on eastern arc - BOTH SD & HD - are MPEG4

What about the HD channels on 129 ... mpeg2, 4, mix?

ALL HD on western arc is MPEG4 & has been for several years now.

With the addition of the HD feed of Aljazera how many more HD signals can be added? I thought 129 was maxing out.

It is, but since they did a conversion of SD channels from QSPK to 8PSK, they now have more space on western arc for more HD; the SD channels are still in MPEG2, though. (do a search on 8PSK if you want more info on this)

 

[Troch77]

That's okay , Just because the west is maxed out, They can still give us more on the East .

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

West isn't maxed out.

 

[Troch77]

Must be close.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nah they just gained a bunch of space with the 8PSK conversion.

 

[bluegras]

so there is room for more hd channels on both arcs

Nah they just gained a bunch of space with the 8PSK conversion.

I saw WRGT2 in my guide this morning at channel "44". It appears that Dish has added the local Fox affiliate's -02 subchannel.

7432(44) - WRGT2 [MPEG2 SD]Ciel-2 129W TP 04 Spotbeam 25 changed to Available (WRGT2)(Mkt: Dayton,OH)(A)(H)

It should be channel "45" though. Why would they map it to the wrong number?

It appears that they added 4-5 other sub-channels for other markets at the same time. Not sure if there's any relation between them (maybe owned by the same conglomerates ?).

 

[bobvick]

I suppose they put it on 44 since not all Dish receivers are capable of having subchannels. I.E having 45.1, 45.2.

 

[Mr Tony]

It should be channel "45" though. Why would they map it to the wrong number?

because Dish receivers can't map subchannel numbers. When a subchannel is added Dish uses one of 4 options to label it
1. They use the stations RF number.
2. They use the stations Pre-DTV number. As example in Mankato, MN the FOX is 12-2. Since KEYC uses 12 as their RF station, Dish uses KEYC's "old" DTV channel (38) for FOX
3. They agree on a number which is usually next to the existing station
4. Dish just makes up one

 

[dare2be]

My Fox main channel 30.1 is 30 on Dish. The MeTV/MyTV subchannel 30.2 is 32 on Dish. Sorta logical.

 

[Hall]

Just seems to me that it would be better to have a higher channel number, i.e. after the main channel.

 

[syphix]

Why do some markets get subchannels, while most don't?? I'd love to see MeTV and AntennaTV on DISH (MSP DMA).

 

[Mr Tony]

If youre in Jacksonville Dish is using criteria #1 for the sub channel number (broadcasts on RF30)

 

[Mr Tony]

Just seems to me that it would be better to have a higher channel number, i.e. after the main channel.

I agree there but I guess they wanted it one lower

 

[Mr Tony]

That wont happen. Usually when a sub gets added it is tied to a network affiliation. The fact they are adding some "hybrid" stations (like Hall's example its My during prime time and ThisTV the rest of the time) might have to do with the owner (in this case its Sinclair and they were off Dish recently)

The only example I know of recently where a sub was added and its just a diginet was when WDIO-DT2 Duluth was added. Its MeTV (but they do carry the MSHSL tourney games we see on KSTC here in Mpls)

So, when will Dish be adding the My Network TV subchannel in Columbus, Ohio? That one is also owned by Sinclair.

I havent the foggiest idea. I was just making a thought as to why it was added.
