NO Analog channels ?

[Mr Tony]

I moved your post to a newer thread
The 24/7 stuff on C-Band I posted above
There is no 24/7 analog on KU anymore. Those "test cards" on KU are digital

There may be feeds on KU in analog but they are few and far between. There isnt a spot where to find them. They vary

 

[federer_11]

Why they are still broadcasting analogue signal? Does anyone watch them?

 

[Mr Tony]

well if I remember right almost all of the 24/7 analog feeds are also in digital

91W
Classic Arts 18V

digital feed on same transponder

99W
Shepherds Chapel 16V

no digital feed. Lots of tv stations pick up an hour or two of the feed for programming

125W
ShopNBC 5H

digital feed same sat

131W
C-Span 7V

digital feed too (scrambled) but I think part of their agreement is to stay in analog

Weather 13V (scrambled)

other feeds in digital..scrambled

133W
EWTN 11H

about 20 feeds on 91W in digital. HD feed on this sat too

Inspiration 17H

I dont think there is a digital feed of this one

135W
QVC 9V
HSN 10H

digital feeds out there including HD

Why are they still analog? Some cable co's might still be getting them this way...also agreements between channels and satellite uplink companies go for years so they may be running the contract out

Is the information in lyngsat.com up-to-date ? There are few satellites that are still broadcasting analog transmissions.

Where can I find an up-to-date version of this list?

 

[Mr Tony]

post 19 above is pretty much still valid
http://www.satelliteguys.us/c-band-satellite-discussion/237933-no-analog-channels.html#post2550265

Those are the channels up 24/7 in analog...

 

[robiH]

But I was going to ask about the feeds entries.
Which of them are still valid and which of them should be removed from the publicized lists?

 

[Mr Tony]

I havent seen an analog "feed" in a long time.....so pretty much all of those are no longer valid.
Much easier to use digital and saves money as you're not hogging a whole transponder

 

[robiH]

This is not my point. I am trying to have two lists at sathint.com and tracksat.com cleaned up.

 

[Mr Tony]

honestly I'd have them all removed. Analog feeds are really no longer used unless they are a sports feed and those are a rare sight. The original date of the thread has been over a year ago and back then there were only a few analog wildfeeds at the time. Those have long been gone last summer and they are now digital because they are broadcast in HD (cant do analog HD)

I bet if they could, the quality would absolutely blow away ANYTHING digital!

 

[Mr Tony]

not necessarily....

analog takes up a whole transponder
Digital HD from the "big boys" takes up a whole transponder (30000 or 29270 s/r)

it all depends on how much bandwidth they want to use

 

[remlap]

(cant do analog HD)

You can. Japan managed for years with its BS system and the 1992 Summer Olympics were broadcast in HD-MAC.
