Oh yeah! OKC FOX and ABC in HD!

6489 - KOCO [MPEG4 HD] - EchoStar7 119W TP 03 Central Plains beam changed to Available
6492 - KOKH [MPEG4 HD] - EchoStar7 119W TP 03 Central Plains beam changed to Available

This really is a big deal for those of us who live South of the city. ABC-DT OTA is really weak here, and ABC carries Big-12 football (Boomer Sooner).

Judging by the D* experience, I expect we will see CBS(9) sometime soon, but NBC(4) could be dragging their feet for a long time.

hmm... looks like their putting some alaska digital locals on 148. I wonder if this is forshadowing more cities getting their HD-locals from 148.
 
Hey digiblur,

A couple thing:
- what is this ?
612 - SETMX (A) removed from EchoStar3 61.5W TP 18 ConUS beam
613 - TVASA moved from EchoStar1 148W TP 11 ConUS beam to EchoStar3 61.5W TP 18 ConUS beam (A)
613 - TVASA (A) removed from EchoStar3 61.5W TP 18 ConUS beam
614 - SET moved from EchoStar1 148W TP 11 ConUS beam to EchoStar3 61.5W TP 18 ConUS beam (A)
614 - SET (A) removed from EchoStar3 61.5W TP 18 ConUS beam

Removed after adding ?! Or your parser amused ?

Other thing - you still post raw data regarding FTA/Preview/Subscribe status. Why not convert into readable form ?

Nope...it's not confused. Just the fun of dealing with mirrors on different orbitals. In a way it could be true. I fixed them by hand in order to confuse people that couldn't understand them.

Haven't had time to write the changes for the package flag portion.
 
I think that is probably because he doesn't know what they mean, right blur? I'm sure if there was a way for him to get a list of what all that means he could add the correct descriptions to the tool.

I know the layout and some of the definitions. Just haven't had the chance to add them yet.
 
Yeah they have two of the 4 locals in HD for OKC and I think we will see the other two local channels for OKC sometime soon. Overall this is great news!

THANKS DISH AND THE DISH ROCKS! :)

It's the way some channels showup that are removed from only one of the 2 satellites they are on. In this case the channels were removed from 148w.
 
LOL, that's funny! PSmith correcting your parser's grammar.

It's called...beat your head against the wall for several hours and tried to figure out how you wrote everything in the first place with the 500 if then else statements and 2 or 3 concurrent while loops, then figure out a way to fix it, then put it in, and then fix the other things you broke in the logic. Or wait... I've got a better idea! Fix it by hand and it takes 5 seconds per entry. Solved... ;)
 
Who is getting 3ABN on channel 9710 (provided you are able to receive signals from either 61.5 or 129 satellites)? Are all packages getting it or certain ones? And are Sky Angel customers receiving it?

I have it in my guide, but I am not getting any video. (I have AT250, not Sky Angel)

What is this? The channel numbers are just above the SD RSNs.

I can confirm video and audio on 3ABN 9710. I am a subscriber to Sky Angel and also AT250.

It is also showing up on an unsubscribed receiver in the same manner as Angel One and NASA. Looks like they made it FTA. (from 61.5)
