[Poke]

Thanks For the Info Scott.

 

[Jim S.]

What are those, test channels?

I think we need to run a pool on whether they're going to put KBS on the wings today

 

[Pepper]

I'm not exactly sure what those are but I notice my OTA PBS stations WSRE and WEIQ have guide info now.

KBS is already there, just not available to all subs yet.

Ugh-
They uplinked Food HD to the low-powered TP 20 again on 61.5 !!!

Didn't they learn last time with NFL-HD and NatGeo HD?

Other than that - great news that it's finally uplinked!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The Food Network HD has Guide Data.

Also looks like we are getting a special channel 100 for the upcoming X Games with 6 camera angles.

 

[Pepper]

I see the extended EPG has moved also. Very interesting.

Maybe this will help west coast, AK and HI DVR users who have trouble getting 110.

Looks good.. too bad they didn't put up FDHD last week for goalie!

 

[Dish Roamer]

Is FoodHD in real MPEG 4 or 'Fake" MPEG4?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

With my setup I can't tell, hopefully one of the experts can let us know.

If I had to guess I would say its NOT in true MPEG4.

Thanks Scott!

Crap. That was one of my favorites.

I guess with all the stuff that's been moved around to comply with the single dish for all locals requirement, this became obsolete.

 

[Bscolvin]

I though we would get more than one hd channel at a time? Don't get me wrong I am happy with any.

 

[digiblur]

See if this answers your question. This is from 61.5. I will swing over to 129 when I get a chance later.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Looks MPEG2 to me.

 

[BFG]

of course it's MPEG2 every channel they added (except for locals) could remain mpeg2 in the old hd pakcs, but of course they have to be greedy bastards and force upgrades and higher packages for a technology that has been proven to not be needed yet

 

[Walter L.]

Scott can you tell if FoodHD is true-HD or HD-Lite mode?
