Still nothing about 406 changed package flags ?

Is that a bug in Digisat ?

Now available in my guide, instead of green (can be subscribed with remote).

I don't see any change on this side with 406.

I don't see any change on this side with 406.

Evidently DirecTV also has a free preview of the channel as well.

The EPG(not used in the Uplink Report) has the capability of initiating a Preview. The EPG controlled preview can have the end time specified and does not require an additional uplink activity to terminate it. Hands off thingy.

 

[JohnH]

BTW: The USAHD and SCIFIHD added in this report are for EA, but my 722 now chooses the USAHD from 61.5 instead of the one from 110.

Should I ask you same question at DBSTalk or ?

Don't ask.

The EPG controlled preview - is it automatically for all subscribers, or can it also have a package flag that is different from the package flag in the tables for the channel ?

Don't know, but in the past when it was used on the premiums, they seemed to showup for everyone.

BTW: I scanned forward on my 722 and 406 changes to yellow on Tuesday morning at 4:30 AM EDT.

This uplink broke my USA Timers for Monk and Psych. Had to delete old timers and make new ones.

We should ban Digi for avoid future failures of receivers !

I think that means that you have an obsolete MPEG2-HD receiver that Dish will replace with an MPEG4-HD receiver. Which model receiver was the one on which you had to make new timers ?

 

[LER]

My 622 happily recorded Monk & Psych off 61.5.

Maybe that was my problem. 9:15 I noticed Monk wasn't recoding. I was still rocking 110 when the change first happened, but it seems to have switched to 61.5 just before the recording was to occur. No EPG to see if there was a west cost repeat to catch.

I have the 622. So unless there are different models of 622s it's MPEG-4.

Luckily I caught it halfway through Monk and was able to set up a new timer, even though there was no Guide info. Just hit record on the show, go to options and select "Create Recurring timer." It then caught the later repeat.

Will have to remember to do this again when SciFi moves to 61.5.

 

[MikeD-C05]

I don't know what ya'll are talking about. I am still seeing USA hd on 110 sat. ARe you talking about the eastern arc by chance?

 

[jansan]

Some people are now getting USA-HD on 61.5 instead of 110. Why did E* put SCI-Fi-HD on 72.7 instead of 61.5 or vice versa beats me. It's a dish thing
