KETV2 is in my area. How do I know what channel this will be on and when it will be available?

Don't know.. - Reboot your receiver then maybe... (or something like that)

It should be soon anyhow.. - if NOT - call DISH and enquire

This is funny, per mwgiii's comment, I rescanned for locals from antenna and found a third sub channel for WBIQ, Alabama Public Television. It's called Create and they were showing a woman painting using single brush strokes. I thought the HD was less than stellar. Also, The Tube (68-2) is still a simulcast of SD MyTV, which sucks because they did have decent videos. The first place I saw OKGo's treadmill video.

 

[chevy]

Huh, Current TV is on? I don't seem to have it.

NOT sure if it's available yet .. not at this very moment anyhow..

Cuz JohnH just posted simular activity report at dbstalk.. and in it, he didn't mention anything about Current TV (ch 196) being available (not at this very moment anyhow)

Ogg, I must have missed the PBS-3 Create post in the Birmingham HD thread at AVS.

Also, The Tube will not likely be coming back.

Couple questions:

Is A&EHD mpeg2?

With the HD preview channel removed, are HDNet and HDNet Movies back to 1920x1080??

 

[gokamoto]

~8 mil subscribers to AT200 and above

The rumors are it's AT 180 / 200 and above....

From the link posted over at dbstalk:

Looks like there may be about 8 mil subscribers to AT200 and above...and the article seems to state that if you don't pay for DishHD then you don't get Current, which I think is a mistake in the article.

"Current was reaching 30 million subscribers, which would mean the new carriage agreement adds about 8 million homes. "

:up Some Philadelphia local OTA sub channel EPG info! Now if only PBS (WHYY) would get their act together and broadcast in my direction again...

 

[chevy]

Current TV is available now!

( JohnH said so himself after all )

 

[mike1973]

Dish has 12-13 million subscribers. No way do I believe more than half subscribe to E*'s 2nd highest tier. I'd say the majority in fact subscribe to AT60, then AT120, and so on.

 

[Poke]

Most folks I know get on the AT120 I think its the most popular.

Yes, it is MPEG2. But you need an MPEG4 receiver to view it.

I think only the .1 subchannel on WBIQ is in HD, the others SD(480i) I miss Tube also. They had some good "classic" videos.

 

[kb7oeb]

Create is an SD channel

 

[ScottChez]

Question was asked on KETV2 . . .

Remember these are all just Guide Data channels. No video will ever be on them.

KETV2 is just Channel 7s Weather now channel. Its a digital sub channel you get Over the air with one of Dishnetworks HDTV Receivers.

Rather small sampling to make that judgement, don't you think ??
