If they took down Tampa locals, I am going to have to slap a dish

OK someone help me here, in the "channel additions" this happened:

6495(40) - WJSU [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar7 119W TP 09 Deep South beam (Available)(Anniston, AL)
6496(42) - WIAT [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar7 119W TP 09 Deep South beam (Available)(Birmingham, AL)
6497(13) - WVTM [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar7 119W TP 09 Deep South beam (Available)(Birmingham, AL)
6498(6) - WBRC [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar7 119W TP 09 Deep South beam (Available)(Birmingham, AL)

Then in the "channel moves" this happened:

6495 - WJSU moved from EchoStar7 119W TP 09 Deep South beam to Echostar12 61.5 TP 09 Area 9 beam (A)(Anniston, AL)
6496 - WIAT moved from EchoStar7 119W TP 09 Deep South beam to Echostar12 61.5 TP 09 Area 9 beam (A)(Birmingham, AL)
6497 - WVTM moved from EchoStar7 119W TP 09 Deep South beam to Echostar12 61.5 TP 09 Area 9 beam (A)(Birmingham, AL)
6498 - WBRC moved from EchoStar7 119W TP 09 Deep South beam to Echostar12 61.5 TP 09 Area 9 beam (A)(Birmingham, AL)

i think they were already in "EchoStar7 119W TP 09 Deep South beam", but does this mean they are no longer on 119 and are now on 61.5?

They just found away to make $60 bucks off you, or force you to extend your contract 2 years, by making you get a 2nd dish, welcome to the club.

Am i reading this correctly, my wish for Atlanta HD locals on 61.5 has come true, please tell me its true???? !!!!!

142 - ESNWS moved from EchoStar7 119W TP 04 ConUS beam to EchoStar3 61.5W TP 32 ConUS beam and changed to MPEG4 SD (A)

Anyone with a dish at 61.5 getting these channels from 61.5? What happens if you have 119 also which channel will the receiver choose, MPEG2 or MPEG4. That's of course if you have a ViP receiver.

Now that I look at it cleveland Got uplinked again (unless this time they are actually uplinking channels and not just place holders)

 

[vampz26]

Something is wrong with this report or maybe I can't understand crap of what's going on.

I think the satellites just vomitted...

 

[ptuck874]

a lot of locals moved to 61.5 which will suck for a lot of people

 

[Gorbash]

Can anyone check out these MPEG4 SDs and give their opinion on PQ?

They look exactly the same as MPEG 2 stations did on my 1080i 32" TV. :down

 

[TNGTony]

Part of the problem is that 61.5 spot beams are not using unique channel numbers so this is probably confusing the automated program. There are several sets of locals in the 5150-5153 channel range. Same goes for other ranges in the 5000 channel area.

See ya

[TenaciousJoker]

Could we interpret the moving of locals to 61.5 to mean that more room is being made for national HD on the other sats?

If that is true, I suddenly got much less excietd about Eastern ARc. That was the big benefit I was hoping for, improved PQ out of SD channels.

 

[GRExpert]

We will understand this report ... SOON

 

[ptuck874]

yeah, that will be available "soon"

 

[rhdj]

Will my 722 go straight to the mpeg4 feed, I wonder?? Why must work get in the way?! I wanna go home!

Just checked mine and I'm still getting the SD from 119, and I have a sat pointed at 61.5

Do you have a mpeg4 vip receiver?

Yeah, too many "hanging chads"

 

[alebowgm]

It looks like the uplink report at DBSTalk has it listed more 'proper'
