Have you checked?With the new 61.5 sat will Philly finally get the CW, PBS, and Ion in HD?
Signal level of 58 in Buffalo
See separate thread you started on this topic. If you must remain on 61.5, there are no longer any conus locals left; they are all on spotbeams on the new E16 satellite. There are two markets not currently available to customers, but I don't see why they won't completely go away rather than becoming available.
What about Chicago and Denver. They show up as CONUS but not Available.
Can you hit 77?
what about 110/119/129? none? I believe wait a few days I think Denver or Chicago will open up on 61.5no 77 is impossible here
Being in an all SD market - Binghamton, NY, I'm wondering if there needs to be some extra work done to get HD to the uplink site. I'm afraid that will cause a long delay in getting us HD. Or maybe they already have that in place in preparation for the switch.
You folks complaining about not having CW in HD should try life in a market with no HD at all. It's pretty annoying. We don't even get CW in HD over the air here. In fact many of our local stations are still unable to originate HD programming so the local news and all syndicated shows are still in SD.
OK, so I have read through all 66 pages of this thread, and thought I was all set. I am having troubles with a number of our office since the E16 changes. I will just speak of the Pittsburgh office now. I had been picking up WTAE, and the locals, from E12 61.5 Conus. I now should get them from E16 61.5W SP30. Although our office is a bit outside Pittsburgh downtown, I still see the map will get me a 51.6 dBW. I have reset many times. I have run check switch, and reset. What else am I missing? Is there a way to see the transponder/beam signal on the tuner? All I see is transponder, but no beams. Any help is welcome, and thanks.
It will require a lot of sleuthing to figure out which markets are on which spotbeams and transponders. I would think that if everyone reported in the transponder they are getting their locals on 61.5 and which market they are in, that would help nelson61 out tremendously, amirite?When is the subscription list for 61.5 going to be updated to show what is now on the bird? Sure would like to see that done so we can see what markets are on what tps and spotbeams w/ the maps.
