SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Discussion - Week Ending 11/17/2007

[JohnH]

While I'm agree with the '1' for 61.5W, tell me about 119W TIDs naming applying to 119W SBs.

Any idea what that new additional numbers means ? I feel here is scrambled info about SBs.

You have heard the old "drop leading zeros" thingy. Zero is the fist digit at 119.

 

[JohnH]

At quick glance it looks like the only thing left on 110 T24 is an ALT of ESPN and the Big10 SD ALT's and some SKDL channels.

If they can find space to move them then 110 T24 is completely open for 6 more HD channels

Those SKDL channels are quite significant. Most have an NHL, NBA, Full Court or RSN Alt associated with them that does not show up in the Uplink Reports because changes happen every day.

Well, IF this is LiL, Jax, FL remains circleless...

Never heard about this in naming conventions .

What about additional number at each new TID ? No ideas ?

More than 10 spotbeams with Tps associated, much like the EchoStar 10 assignments.

Looks like they approved some transfers.

Looks like the "split" is moving at the FCC:

Yup this plan would have me in the Buffalo market without a spotbeam... So I would no longer live in NYC and be without HD locals. This would be the final straw to move to D*. If I hear one other person talking about how I should just do OTA i'll go crazy. This may work great for you but where I live it does not.

darrencp22,

take a look at D* 's HD locals for Buffalo. You don't get CBS, you don't get CW, and you don't get WNED. Aren't you in Lockport or something?

 

[JohnH]

All of the last wave of UPx channels were removed from the system.

digi. Another part of the puzzle?? I sure will be glad when this thing is put together.

What is the cut off date for internationals at 61.5? They are not going to have much room to maneuver until they boot the internationals off. I believe the SA boot date is 12/31 right?

It sure looks like they are preping for an HD LiL explosion as soon as the internationals go bye bye. It would be at least exciting to see 50 markets announce all the sudden. Of course where I live it would be nice to see national HD since my market will be way down the line in LiL HD possibilities.

You would think that there are other things going on so that there will be some national hd lit up. I am in the same boat. I have my locals in hd but I do understand where dish is coming from here. If I didn't have mine, I would have switched a few months ago.
