No new higher numbers yet, but five of my locals (which were on 105 TP 1) have now moved to 105 TP 18. The EPG showed "Off Air" for the switchover.
I had two channels list as 'off air' last week, but that was all night long and the OTA broadcasts were colorbars as well as the E* presentation.
Clearing a transponder is the first step to testing then using AMC-15!

nope.. just some tp activities at 105...
some channels went from tp 1 and tp 15 to tp 18 (couple markets)
while some others stayed at tp 1 and tp 15 and didn't move to tp 18 (in other couple markets)
AMC-15 wasn't turned on .. NOT YET anyhow....
But the shuffle is of interest. It wouldn't take much to combine a couple of near empty transponders and combine them so AMC-15 can take over.

If anyone sees 'off-air' scheduled for their 105 locals overnight let us know. This was the first sign that something was going to happen this week.

My locals are on TP 2 in the Tri Cities VA/TN area. Still holding at 67-69 signal so no improvement for me yet.
Charlottesville locals are still on TP17. I'm holding at a 62 signal strength.
I am having a problem that started Thursday night. Every so often, I will briefly lose reception from 105, or the image will briefly pixelate. This lasts about 1-2 seconds each time it happens, and it happens about 15 minutes. Could this be related to switching programming to AMC-15?
Thrsuday night I thought it had something to do with rain. It was clear last night and still doing it on more than one receiver.
(This problem is only happening on my locals, or at least on NBC Channel 29 as that's the only local I watch.)

I wonder if they plan on reshuffling the transponders again that these locals are on once they put these channels onto the new 105 bird.
I'd count on it. Especially if they can do 16 channels per transponder (or more) instead of 12.Stargazer said:

Thanks...
Well that's good news, I guess. I had to have Dish come out and re-peak and they were able to get about 60-62. I still thought it was too low, but if your in NEPA and that's your signal strength, then I'm satisfied. Thanks.jmd102354 said:

I am at Beach Lake.
A 60 from Dish still beats local PQ from Blue Ridge Comm.
