Maybe a fix for the AK/HI folks?

Looks like just Alaska

Damn, now I may have to go home at lunch again!

 

[digiblur]

Looks like just Alaska

AK & HI

I think I read in another post that the spot beam is actually split between Alaska and Hawaii, so the spot beam map is only half right here.

This looks like it's returning the new HD.

We're still missing HD Theatre, NFL, HDNET, HDNET Movies, UNI, VS and GEO.

Did you also lose the rest of the old package? SciFi, USA, Trv, TLC, TNT ... ?

They're on 129. SciFi is 5591, Trv is 5535 Etc. It's odd because ESPN is 5581, but ESPN2 is 5589 and ESPN News is 5553. The numbers are all over and so far no map downs.

The ones I listed are no where else for us, so I sure whould like them turned back on.

I received the ones listed in this report in Maui this morning, but I still do not have anything below 5520 or above 5534. So no ESPN, Sci Fi etc. for me yet.

Those are now in the new 129 spot beam.

Yesterday a hit brought me the 30 new 129 spot HD channels (including 10 we already had at 110), but wiped out all 110 HD channels except HBO, SHO and HD locals.

Today's package flag change brought up the 11 new 110 spot HD channels (that I had received yesterday and then lost along with the old ones).

Do we need another package flag change to bring up the old 110 HD channels?

There are 4 missing, but listed on the updated AK/HI HD list at the dish site (all on the 110 spot): NFL, NTGEO, VS, BIO.

Also four more that are not on the new list : UNIHD on 110 spot and HDNET, HDTHR, HDNMV on 110 conus. UNIHD and HDNMV are platinum, the other two are bronze.

DishNetwork: Please don't take HDNET away! The two new channels I was looking forward to were CNN and CMDY, but the only thing I've seen there in HD are some of the commercials. HDNET has great PQ and content, and is in the cheapest package (bronze). Mahalo

The spot 129 channels are all one higher in Hawaii than in Alaska (even numbers 5536 thru 5594).

I forgot about that.

Things are still looking better for us, lets hope we get the other channels back.

Made up a 46/47 combo map and renamed the TIDs so they state this, republished the report.

Thanks Digiblur,

Do you think the old 110 channels are likely just in need of a package flag change to bring them into the newly created AK/HD (Metal) package, similar to the new 110 channels that came back on line today with this uplink?

 

[g182237]

So what channels are missing after fixing the 110 and getting a re-hit to receive programming from 129? Is it just HDNET, HDNMV, Uni, and HDTHR?

Those 4 did not make the cut on the updated list, but there are 4 more still missing which are on the list: NFL, NTGEO, VS, BIO.

Digi, here is different look for NOTAX channels [by other brain perception]:

on 119W it was changing A to NA for ch201 and NA to A for ch233 because they are located on diff tpns;
on 77W sat the updates looks as changing just channel's numbers, because all other parameters [descriptors] of the two channels didn't changed.
I'm try to code rules for "renumber"/"rename"/"move"/etc and run them thru compare any pairs of NIT/SDT versions.
Found pretty interesting combinations while analyzing those night shifts - thinking is there any formal changes what could be separate by those atomic rules ? ... the program is ready for beta testing .
