January 19, 2006 - Uplink Activity

[SummitAdvantageRetailer]

A whole TP just for one Olympics HD channel? Maybe they're doing at least 2 or maybe even 3 Olympics HD channel on that TP?

 

[KenSoren]

Are the LA HD locals still showing MPEG2?

I hope Dish leaves it that way because that will give me what I want without upgrading the DVR.

I dont know... but this uplink report was a pain in my @ss this morning with all these channel moves

it was like 50 something moves... If they do use if for hd... atleast bring ESPN2 and UHD over to 110

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

 

[Chris Walker]

The TENNIS CHANNEL? UGHH I hope they don't waste a Top 180 spot with this, put it in the sports pack.

 

[Sarang]

Bob, several "Off Air" between 3 and 4 AM EST. Looks like another 110 swap.

Yeah I was wondering what kinda sh*t was happening with "The N" when I read an "Off Air" message in the EPG for 4:30-5:00 a.m.

What's wrong with a Tennis Channel Chris? It sounds GREAT though I would prefer a HD version of it.

 

[Darkman]

those 3 new ethnics at 121 are reportedly from Philippins:

714 NBN4 (From The Philippins)
715 RPN9 (From The Philippins)
716 VIVA (From The Philippins)

if the hd olympics channel has its own tp I would love to see the quality they would put that at.. or would that be in hdlite to??

 

[TNGTony]

Thanks for the info Bob,

For the record, the Tennis Channel has been uplinked for a while now. It was uplinked to tp18 at 110 on 12/14/05. It was moved to tp 5 today.

See ya
Tony

 

[lakebum431]

Ditto!

I would love to see it too, but I don't see it happening.

 

[goaliebob99]

thanks tony thats what i thought.. but i didnt remember if it was or not.. but I feel sorry if you got ncy hd lil... Look at this transpoder on 61.5 Im just hoping that this is only 4 channels on 1 tp with number mirrors and NOT 8 hd channels on TP! unless mpg 4 is giving them this kind of return rate.. IF thats the case give me TRUE HD DAMMIT

also why 3 CBS's ... This does show the possablites for HDDNS

 

[JohnH]

The current old one. The new Mpeg4 and a test Mpeg2. All the same channel, of course.

 

[JohnH]

BTW: Minor move this afternoon, Bob.

 

[HokieEngineer]

Just a clarification, as John said, all 3 are the same video stream on the TP. Thus, there are actually only three total video feeds on that TP. One for CBS, one for NBC, and one for ABC. Service: 6301 (WCBS), Service: 9483 (CBSHD), Service: 9937 (WCBS) all have the same video PID.

The only difference is the channel type. For example, old and new HD receivers will see 9483 (type mpeg2), new (411/211/622) will be the only ones seeing 6301 (type mpeg4), and only engineering receivers will see 9937 (type mpeg2). As you can see, the type means nothing except a way to force only a certain class of receivers to be able to view a channel

 

[Darkman]

BTW: Minor move this afternoon, Bob.

.. and .. according to You ...at the other forum, it IS:

"9601 BTV MOVED FROM Tp 3 on EchoStar 6 at 110w
TO Tp 25 on EchoStar 6 at 110w"

TNGTony's notes about this one - indicate:

"1/20/06

Cannel 9601 broke the mirror to channel 217 and moved from tp3 to tp 25 at 110°. The programming is identical between 217 and 9601 as I type this, but in essence there is a new channel added today."

 

[goaliebob99]

bahhh 9601... Sorry i didnt get it up sooner and thanks darkman I was in school lastnight and went to bed as soon as i got home

 

[JohnH]

9601 activity today Bob.

Tp 25 at 110 has left the system and switched to 8PSK.

Might want to start a new thread.

[goaliebob99]
