Ok, Im sure I have messed this up some where, but digi feel free to check my work and tell me were im wrong .. I dont know everything But this is what I have.
This is what could be added if I calculated everything right....
61.5
TP 1 has Nothing on it! 6 HD channels there
Tp 2 is Full of national hd
Tp 3 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders
TP 4 Is empty
TP 5 Is full with Voom HD
Tp 6 is full of internationals that should be moved over to 118.7 This would add 6 new HD channels
TP 7 Has 3 HD hd Channels on it (voom) Add 3 With New encoders
TP 8 Full of PI and nothing can be added here
TP 9 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders
TP 10 is full of internationals that should be moved over to 118.7 This would add 6 new HD channels
TP 11 Has 2 HD hd Channels on it NHL and Big 10 Add 4 With New encoders
Tp 12 is full of internationals that should be moved over to 118.7 This would add 6 new HD channels
Tp 13 Full of PI and international nothing can be added here, but the internationals can be moved and
possably the pI could be consolidated on to one tp
TP 14 More Internattional channels, and EPG programming guide info 5 new HD channels if the EPG info stays and INt program is
moved.
Tp 15 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders
TP 16 is full of internationals that should be moved over to 118.7 This would add 6 new HD channels
Tp 17 is Full of National HD
TP 18 is Empty
TP 19 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders
TP 20 is Full of National HD
TP 21 Wasted space on SD Channels. Move ECC, btv to 110 or 119. Arang to 118 and ditch the rest as they are PPV info channels
add 6 hd channels here
TP 22 Full of VOOM HD Nothing to add here
TP 23 Sky Ang.
TP 24 Empty
TP 25 International channels.. MOve to 118.7
Tp 26 Empty
TP 27 Move Internationals to 118, Keep this as Qpsk for over flow of PI channels, epg guide data, and EPG programming data
TP 28 FULL HD RSN and NBA, NHL HD mirrors
TP 29 Sky Ang.
TP 30 Sky ANg.
Ok so with Existing hot TP's The total channels that can be added now with Mpeg 4 encoder swaps is.. 15 new HD channels Now we add the transpoders that
are not alive = 24 new HD channels, Now if they moved internationals over to 118 and killed the wasted tp.. add 41 new channels
IF we add all this up it equals out to 80 National HD channels or mixed in locals... This is without touching Sky angle. Now if you add them into the
equasion that equals more HD. This is under the assumption that all birds are healthy between Rainbow 1 and Echo 3 and all tps can be used between the two
even with the problems they have had.
129
TP 1 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders 15, Now we bring in the Transpoders that are sitting there empty..
TP 2 has two test channels, that could be used for new programming
Tp 3 has Nothing and is empty. 12.259 mhz. 6 new channels
Tp 4 has 4 channels on it add two wtih new encoders
Tp 5 is full with SD locals. Nothing can get added here
TP 6 is Full with HD
TP 7 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders
TP 8 is Full with HD RSN's
TP 9 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders
TP 10 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders
TP 11 Has 3 HD hd Channels on it (voom) Add 3 With New encoders
TP 12 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders
TP 13 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders
TP 14 is full with PI and Locals. Nothing can get added here
TP 15 has 4 channels on it Add two with new encoders
TP 16 is full on national hd
TP 17 is Empty 12.501mhz 6 New channels there
TP 18 is full with 6 voom hd channels
tp 19 is full with 6 Voom HD channels
Tp 20 Is Empty 12.589 Add 6 There
Tp 21 Is Full with 6 National HD channels
TP 22 is Full with 6 National HD Channels
TP 23 is Empty 12.661 Mhz add 6 there
Tp 24 is Full with SD locals
Total channels that could be added now = 18 on existing hot transpoders with a potental to add 28 more with empty transopnders
that are not hot! For a total of 46 new channels on a healthy bird over at 129. I dont know what transponders they can light
up or not.
