NO more PBSKids DVD

[lthollywood]

I had a FTA receiver set up for my kids to watch PBSkids and I notice this pass weekend that there is no more 24 hr pbs kids with the DVD signal. A bud of mine had a DSR4402x Motorola receiver and he told me i could use it for PBS KIDS Digicipher AMC3 12096 V TP20 19510 3/4 16 541. I was using a 33 inch disk with the FTA receiver. I don't know how to program the receiver with this information. The receiver was use on C3 for CMT. I tried to change all the information but i don't see any signal. Will the receiver work to get PBS Kids digicipher!

Can i use a 33 inch dish?
Does anyone know where i can get PBS Kids DVD?
how do i put a differnt map in the receiver so it will see AMC3?
Anyone receiver PBS kids with a Digicipher?
Anyone know about this type of receiver?


Thanks for all you help in advance!!

I've heard rumors in the past that PbS kids is going to go to a pay per veiw type service. That maybe the reason your not getting it anymore. If so then I wouldn't be surprised if the digicipher II signal went away as well. Of course I don't have any official information. That's just a rumor I heard.

PBS Kids changed to PBS Kids Sprout. Maybe that is the change...

The DSR4402x will receive that Digicipher 2 mux, but there is no more 24 hour PBS Kids there either. Comcast and PBS have started a new 24 hour and Video on Demand channel called PBS Kids Sprout. http://www.sproutletsgrow.com/index.jsp

It appears that the FTA MPEGII digital DVB feed on AMC3 that was PBS Kids today changed over to other PBS programming. My kids will be sorely disappointed--it was nice to have the option of Kids programs any time. The sad thing was, I had just gotten an audio receiver that could decode the AC3 audio from my Ultra Lifetime--had it up all of one day before PBS Kids was pulled. That station was the main reason I purchased the audio receiver.

Ironic that if my kids are to get Public Broadcasting Kids' channel, we'll now have to pay twice...once via our taxes and again via DirecTv.
