Uh...was that "interesting" an interesting "interesting" or a sarcastic "interesting"?

Why would you move ABC in Shreveport, LA off a spotbeam to a CONUS beam?
Even with the link below why would you move it?
Keep KTBS on Dish Network

Best guess is that some people in the DMA had problems receiving the spotbeam.
Other guess is that some new channel is going onto the spotbeam, and so they just chose that one to push off into a CONUS transponder.
Uhhh... so they could rename it FX-HD in the uplink table and drive us all crazy????

Maybe Charlie wants to watch KTBS from Colorado?
Exactly what I was thinking... "If I'm going to pay more for this KTBS, I want to see what I'm paying for first."
Not likely. Wrong channel range and wrong TP modulation scheme. It is the actual channel KTBS that was moved.
There isn't an uplink table. The uplink reports are derived from the actual channel maps the DishNetwork receivers use.
are they serious, they want to get PAID for allowing dish to show their OTA channel? Someone really need to stand up to these local yokals.. if they want revenue aka viewers they should make their signal as available as they can.. if it doesn't cost them anything all the better.. if it does then I would expect to be compensated.. but I'm equally annoyed with the whole writter strike, they get paid for writting a script just like I get paid to write I program, I don't get paid residuals for an app unless I put that in my contract.. I don't think they should ALWAYS get paid residuals for their crap unless they work out a good contract.. anyway that rant was a bit off topic..
So where' the HD? (I feel like an 80's commercial aka where' the beef)
If they wan't to be fair, they should say. "Dish Network charges about 16 cents a day for the local package. We're only asking for 1 cent a day per subscriber. We just want what's fair." or "Dish Network charges about $5.00 a month for the local package. We're only asking for 30 cents a month per subscriber. We just want what's fair."KTBS said:
Of course they fail to mention that there are six other stations also in the market, and Dish actually has to spend money in equipment to uplink these channels. And they have the price wrong in the first place, it's $5.00 not $6.00

Not to follow an off topic line, but this is what they are trying to do...work out a good contract.
Yea, well, I know nothing from uplinks but figured I'd throw it out. Thanks for the reasoned response to a post made part tongue-in-cheek, part out of frustration.
BTW: are we to infer from the reports posted for the last couple of weeks that SciFi-HD and USA-HD are still occupying those two valuable slots? Can you make any sense out of that?

NTGEO-HD moved on 61.5 - 7 HD channels on one TP now?
