What are we looking at? Call me silly!

 

[theoak]

Except for locals and maybe free previews ... I have a feeling that things are going to be pretty quiet for a while.

Regional sports channels

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I expect them to stay quiet until after Team Summit (which starts on May 6th)

I believe those are florida RSNs... people were having issues with locals being on 129 yet RSNs were on 61.5 thus making them not have a single dish solution. This mirror allows a single dish solution for them. (if i have the channels correct)

 

[Pepper]

Leave it to Dish to launch a standard definition channel called HIDEF.

 

[hemity]

Yeah, but most channel's are HIDEF, and only show standard definition!

Yes, you are correct. For instance folks in the Gainesville, FL market had their locals launched on a 129 spotbeam. Some moved their 61.5 dish over to 129 but lost their RSN's. This should solve the issue.

 

[WayneG]

So it looks like ION is moving from channel 280 to 216 sometime soon and then they are adding ION West to channel 217. D* recently added ION West but it is not located next to the East feed.

 

[apollog]

I was hoping to see Noggin launched as a 24 hour network.

 

[Paradox-SJ]

For the DMA's that dish carries SD & HD locals are they doing double work in that they carry the SD and HD signals or do they down-rez the HD for the SD channels to save on bandwidth?

And if not...why not?

 

[billymac]

I'll second that.

 

[Juan]

noggin is being "relaunched" as Nickjr look for it then

On the WA they have to carry the SDs and HDs since the older boxes can not receive MPEG4 signals and can not tune 8PSK signals.

Now on EA, that's a different story. They usually pull the SD version when an HD feed goes live. Not sure why they don't do this on the nationals.

Ion TV is a joke. This means Dish Network is giving us an east and west feed of a channel that plays 12-14 hours of infomercials daily. Hmm, but we can't have LOGO.

hmm maybe E* doesn'y have to carry 100 or so local channels

Scott I think your 33,333 post should come from Team Summit... It would be your 3rd would it?

 

[wetz73]

sorry, wrong thread

Hey in Los Angeles where we have ION OTA they started broadcasting in HD last week. So that's 12-14 hours of upconverted infomercials daily.
