Ny Locals going to spot?

[TheKrell]

I think most RV's use SD receivers, and according to "The List" both NY and Boston SD locals are on spot beams now.

6300 WABC (7) MPEG4 SD 61.5°W 15 8PSK Area 6 beam Available
6300 WABC (7) MPEG4 HD 61.5°W 17 8PSK ConUS beam Available
6301 WCBS (2) MPEG4 SD 61.5°W 15 8PSK Area 6 beam Available
6301 WCBS (2) MPEG4 HD 61.5°W 17 8PSK ConUS beam Available
6302 WNBC (4) MPEG4 HD 61.5°W 17 8PSK ConUS beam Available

That may be so, but there is no Dish Network SD receiver that can receive any of those locals on 61.5. That is because they are mpeg4. The SD mpeg4 channels are tests for an eventual all-mpeg4 service called the Eastern Arc.

I didn't realize any of the mpeg4 SD channels were available yet. If they are, could somebody in NY tell us how the PQ is on the SD mpeg4 channels? Can you toggle back and forth between mpeg-2 and mpeg-4 versions of the channels?

No we don't ,since the DNS were shut, However we have Networks from NY via a local affiliate (NBC PR Ch 14,CW Ch 17,ABC PR Ch 20,FOX PR CH 24 and CBS Caribbean CH 37).

yeah I knew that. I've seen those affiliates on C-Band.

None of the the new spotbeams appear to be available in NY. Still only see the 6300's HD stations off 61.5 and the 8100's SD channels off 110 and 119.

hey IceBerg I just tried to add pbs xd to my puerto rico account , and they said it wasnt available.

As I speculated elsewhere, they were never SD locals uploaded but were in fact the HD Spotbeams. The old CONUS HD NY are now gone. ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX are now switched. WPIX HD is not yet available but is now marked as MPEG-4 HD.
