Yes, looks like R1 is finally going into spotbeam mode. Would be nice if we could get signal readings for those TPs from across the country

I don't think they are running yet as some are overlapping CONUS TP's right now.
I would suppose that if Dish were to use the uplink for every downlink on R1/E12, and they did not already have one of their 10 uplink centers under the spot they would lease from someone who did rather than build a bunch of tiny uplink sites.
Anyone getting signal on 61.5 TP 1 or TP 3?
If your receiver can't tune to those TP's you'll have to trick it. Hook up 129 straight to the box and do a check switch, you'll only have 129 in your matrix. Swing the dish over to 61.5 and you should be able to tune to 61.5 using the 129 TP maps which includes 8PSK TP 1 and TP 3.

Could someone speak English here? Tell me what you guys might think is going on. Keep it plain and simple for poor ole me.

No signals showing on the Broadlogic Spectrum Analyzer on Transponders 1, 3, 4, 6, 26 and 28 here in Northern California.
61.5 TP 1 and 3 exist on my 622 (didn't have to "trick" it as you suggested) but no signal on either.
Gainesville, FL. Yeah, right but that would be awesome. I don't get great signal on FOX HD and there is no NBC local here.
Quick question for digiblur. I like the idea of starting the uplink report on Sunday. It makes it easy when you subscribe to the thread. I was wondering if you might go one step further and just rename it the uplink report and leave previous uplinks on the page. It would be nice to have a quick reference to previous reports. Just an idea and thanks for providing this service.
I seriously hope they get west palm beach locals.. D* has had them for years.. if I didn't have OTA I think the wife would have had us switch..
I still do not expect them to move AMC-14 to 61.5. A whole satellite for 2 TPs seems excessive. Also they have filed a delay in the construction of the E3 replacement with the FCC because they are having trouble booking a launch, so they definitely appear to have a new satellite in the works for 61.5.
Right now, since they have 4 TPs for local markets, they could make 4 TPs into spot TPs and pick up quite a few markets. Of course they would probably be markets that have their RSNs on 61.5, but I guess they could do the Dish 1000 plus wing configuration with a DPP44 for markets that have RSNs on 129.
All in all making 4 of the R1/E12 TPs spots costs them nothing in space and adds a bunch of markets.
Another clue may be in documents like http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-277080A1.pdf
Where Capitol Broadcasting Company, Inc got permitted to transmit to Rainbow1 from North Carolina. Hmmm why would they need an uplink to R1 from NC? Maybe because R1 needs uplinks under the spots and they could uplink some LiL from NC to somewhere nearby.
Here is another one from SC http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-275833A1.pdf
