Looks like KFOR NBC HD is now available in Oklahoma City.

Yay! Personally, I would have preferred the PBS-HD channel that they only offer to Cox Cable here, which isn't available OTA.

 

[Poke]

Well thats good to see NBC for Oklahoma City will save me a call now we just need KWTV CBS channel. Yeah Mdonnelly I wonder if Dish could at it that would be a plus. But will be glad to get all 4 locals in HD now we just need one more.

 

[LER]

I wish that they'd add the Austin, TX HD locals.

HDBTV is that Business TV in HD?

Maybe they are showing the DirecTV 10 launch in HD?

 

[lakebum431]

Haven't they had the BTV HD channel before? It seems like I remember it being up for something else at 1 point.

 

[jhusted]

HD Locals for Grand Rapids, MI ????

 

[BobaBird]

Aren't the 14xxx channels EPG entries rather than MPEG2 SD?

You're thinking of this one:

9615 - BTV [MPEG2 HD] - EchoStar8 110W TP 13 ConUS beam - Available

 

[JohnH]

9650 HDBTV was on E* 9 Tp 20 for a while in MPEG2

They're slacking on Palm Beach HD locals.. sure 5 miles south and I could get borward locals in hd.. grumble...

With A&E, Universal, and Cinemax on this transponder already (T27), any chance they might move A&E etc. off onto another transponder or is there room for everything? Yes, I know the sports are only part time. This is a horrible transponder.

Dish has 6 MPEG4 HD channels on other TP's. So if they configure things right there shouldn't be an issue with this mux if they crank the minimum rates back on the dead slates.

Thanks,

And appreciate everything you do for us. Problem with T27 is it is one of the weakest on the bird.

Have you tried a bigger dish? I just checked signal strength here and I'm not sure how my numbers relate to yours but I get almost 100% here.

100% on 129? Wow. I haven't seen anyone that high even with a dedicated dish. Most of 129 is low 70's/high 60's except T27.

[Smith P.]

If you have own house you can install any size dish for the 129W, if not - up to 1m, ie 39". GO ahead if you want the channels uninterrupted.

Tp 27 reads 73 versus average 82 for the others here on an 18" Legacy dish.
