Test Channels 9300 & 9301 should stay on ! *Update: They are up now!

[Bosco10021]

Have A&E HD on 9300 I am getting error message 721 on 9301 though.

Should I be concerned about no 9301 ?

Is this a problem or not ?

Anyone else have this ?? 8:38 pm Eastcoast

What you are seeing is the upconverted programs and portable HD cameras that make it look soft. During some of the Discovery programs you can actually tell from the different cameras from take to take.

On A&E HD all you will really find in good HD is CSI:Miami....but there's always goodies to see on that show!

Wife just got home to SC and my HR20 is doing the same thing my inlaws was till today. 480 and 481 test fine, no go on 498 and cant get 9301 or 9300.

Today was the first day my inlaws HR20 actually got 498, so hopefully mine will be ready soon.

 

[Xstation]

any one know how long DTV will have the TEST HD channels up for?

 

[Brian Hall]

When I last tested earlier, I was still receiving 498 and 9301, but had lost 9300 when it switched to A&E.

I just got back and checked again. I'm still receiving 9301, but now 498 and 9300 are both blank.

HR20-100 0x18A

volntitan:
That's what I have, too

Do you have the message "not purchased" or you have private office viewing?

Same issue here in Savannah.. HR20 not getting 9300, but get 9301 fine. H20 gets both fine

Same exact problem here. I get 9301 fine on my HR20-100, but 9300 is a blank screen. On my H20, they both show up perfectly.

I had a slimline installed today and the directv installer said the channels would be on next week.

 

[Tim Jay]

I have read that subscribers are going to channel 498. When I try to go to that channel, it won't even register. Since I just had a slimline dish installed today, does it take a while before it registers? Does my h-20 need a download? Please answer. Thanks.

all still working well for me

I'm getting "Channel Not Purchased" (721) on 9300, but good on 9301. Was getting 9300 fine earlier... thinking they're switching channels around and whatever's on now is something I don't have with my package (Plus HD)...?

I'm now getting SD NFL Network with an NHL logo in the lower right and a Directv ITX1026 in the upper right on 9300.

 

[volntitan]

I am now getting 721 message on both channels now....

getting not purchased on 9300, 9301 is fine.

 

[volntitan]

No picture on 9300, no picture on 9301...but on channel 73? An outstanding, beautiful picture of a Titan victory!

I'm getting both but personally I think the picture could be better. It just isn't crisp like the other HD channels are.

 

[Questioner]

I'm getting both but personally I think the picture could be better. It just isn't crisp like the other HD channels are.

That's probably because they are not showing hd programs at the moment.
