New Pentagon Channel mux INCLUDING HD on 101w Ku

[Jim S.]

Dunno why they put it here instead of on 103, unless they're going to raise the price on 103 for the new satellite, but there it is...

11820 H 20000, the SD and SD-with-Dolby channels are still MPEG2, the HD channel is MPEG4, and there's also an encrypted channel.

Per Pentagon Channel - Get It this is available to the public, so it can be moved out of the WUT.

Nice now I got to re scan 101 when pawn stars goes off.

Thanks Jim!

Yay! Another Ku-Band HD channel! Hopefully, more will be on the way in the future.

Are they still testing? Not able to pull Pentagon HD channel, in but the SD Pentagon still come in nicly at around lows 70 here in New Mexico....:

 

[Jim S.]

It was up when I checked about an hour ago. You're looking at 101 instead of 103, right?

 

[N5XZS]

Yes Jim S,

I am at 101*W and I know it's a funny offset bird, since my feedhorn it's alway set at 0% fixed so I wil keep nugging my motor to home in the signal.

 

[Mr Tony]

103W has the weird skew, not 101

 

[N5XZS]

Thanks Iceberg,

I sometime get mixed up in the tight space between 2 birds.

You said you were getting the SD version, did you mean you were getting it on 101? There's no reason you shouldn't be getting the HD version too then (unless it went down for some reason). The HD version is MPEG4, but it's on the same transponder as the SD and SD-Dolby one, along with an encrypted channel called BACKHAUL the last time I looked.
