I think Transponder 19 was already on. The uplink report shows that the channels that were on Transponder 19 were moved to Transponder 16. I don't have Echostar 15 connected to my 622. I'm on the western arc. But my FTA dish sees Echostar 15. The same channels are listed on both Transponder 16 and 19, however it looks like only two channels on Transponder 19 have active video (Palladia and Showtime Too). The rest seem to be slates based on the non-variable bit rates. (All channels are encrypted).
photoman76- As stated elsewhere, TP 19 did not make the transition to E-15 when the other transponders did. We in PR noticed immediately because our signals dropped to a strength of 0 to 2 or 3, and that's with six-footers.
Now, it seems that TP 19 has, indeed, been turned on at E-15. My signal is now 70, up from 02 (yes, that's "two", not twenty
)
It is interesting to note that they changed TP 19 channels to TP 16 and only then did they activate 19 on E-15

Thanks Ljdonato. Yes in deed we here in PR notice the change more dramaticly beacause even though TP19 was ON on E3 we here did not have good covrage by that sat. Now any change they make from E3 to E15 we notice a big dramatic increase in signal strenght because of the good coverage by E15 here on the island. Well you can see that all of our readings here in PR are all above 70%. And now for the kicker, now we have great coverage by E15 but within a month or two no use for it. Thanks Dish Network for you hard work !#$%#@!#$. Or maybe I can subscribe to some japanese, hindi, german channels and start learning some other laguage with the great international coverage from E15. Yeah !!!! right.
