Echostar 14 119W transition information

[hockeynut5150]

Are all transponders on E14 7/8? I can see tp 11, 15 and 19 but not the rest.

I am on the western arc 110,119,129.

What at the national channels I might be receiving from the transponders that were switched to ECHOSTAR XIV?

Go to TheList or Dishchannelchart.com and click on 119. Click on the transponder header to sort by transponder. Now look for transponders 8,9,11,12,15,16,19,20.

kstuart,
Are you in the San Francisco DMA area?

On 6/10 a couple of CONUS TP's will move from 5/6 FEC to 7/8, the rest of them on 6/17. I suspect the few I have heard receiving a faint signal in Mexico will lose the lock on the signal with this FEC change.

Prodelin (the gold standard for larger antennas) is going to see a bump in orders for their $$$$.00 parabolic antennas.

Thanks digi. Got the answer, which is none.

I hope you mean "nothing I watch", because that process should list most of the channels that are most watched in the US, such as ESPN and CNN...

Sorry I meant no National HD channels. All national HD channels seem to be on Ciel2.

Thanks Digi... any reason I'm only getting those 3 transponders and not the others off E14, since they all are 5/6?

Transponder 6,10,13,14,17,18,21 will move over to E14 on May24th AM. Spots will continue to move as referenced in the first post of this thread on 5/24, 5/26, 5/27.

Wow....it's good to have someone with your kind of info here :up

Thanks.....

P.D. in all my years in DBS world (first posting in DBSdish & then DBSForums) I never saw this kind of info....probably I didn't visit to much Satguys.com....too bad, but I'm here now!!!!!

Not sure. What is your setup and location?

 

[Rafaelccs]

Oh well, looks like my viewing from 119 is about done. I get 0 signal on all the conus feeds moved to echo 14. Good thing I pretty much only watch HD anyway.
If your wondering, Im at 114 by 64 (NWT, Can)

Wait until transition...you might need to repeak, remember they squeezed in 0.05 deg. a secon bird @ 118.?? and you are in fringe people in CONUS can't notice but in Fringe things are different.

The bird at 118.7 is on total different set of frequencies. So they didn't "squeeze" it in.

What I mean was that they are controlling more the two birds EVII & EXIV in this transition, so as he is located in Fringe, he might be aimed in a non favorable way at the moment and is not reading good levels from one or other bird due to the fact of his location.....therefore I advice to wait until full transition and reaim.

man... if they really wanted to screw techs now's the time for it.. you could QAS a install and Transponders for 119 are all over the place. I couldn't get some over min requirements at all in the last few days and it was really bad early today!!! When will this be finished?

Sorry I meant no National HD channels. All national HD channels seem to be on Ciel2.

Ah... up until now, there have not been any National HD channels on 119.

Most are on Ciel 2 at 129, but the half dozen original National HD channels are on 110, on EchoStar 11.

So conus transponders are going to be moving from 5/6 FEC to 7/8? Sorry if I missed this, but what on earth does this mean and what is the significance of the change?

How come the spots 1 3 5 and 7 are still there? I want to know when they are moving Miami fl locals.
