From what I know...

190 is Fox Reality
982 is the Holiday Music Channel

Very Cool.

 

[RandallA]

What's this one?

19110 (RFI6) Engineering service

 

[JohnH]

It is a data channel. They usually are associated with DISH Home.

BTW: EPG data confirms the 190 FOX Reality TV.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Dont know but in that channel range it is probably Data.

Who knows with the new uplinks coming online it may be a data channel for the uplinks to use which receives diagnostics and stuff from the main uplink center.

 

[goaliebob99]

EPG DATA Confirmed... FOX REALITY NOW UPLINKED!!!!!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Will it become available today though... That is the question.

I would guess it would (along with the Holiday Channel) or they could have just waited until next week to do it on the Wednesday uplink.

 

[SummitAdvantageRetailer]

Is Fox Reality Channel really that good? I don't like reality TV in general but I don't know if people would really like this channel or not.

 

[ralfyguy]

All those channels I can't see, they're not in my EPG either.

 

[goaliebob99]

All those channels I can't see, they're not in my EPG either.

thats because there not avaible to subs yet...

 

[ralfyguy]

I don't understand...how can they see it in their EPG?

 

[mwgiii]

JohnH & Goaliebob use computers to see changes in the data.

They cannot see the actual channels.

Uplinked means it is now on the satellites, available means we can see the channel.

 

[ralfyguy]

Thanks, I didn't know that. Interesting though...how did they hook this up so they can see that. What hardware/software do they use to make this happen? Not that I want to try this, just stunned about how this works.

 

[JohnH]

And we don't see it in our EPGs. We see the data in the EPG stream, but it is not enabled to show on the receivers.

In my case the hardware is a Twinhan 1020A PCI Satellite receiver card. I also use a BL2030 card.

 

[goaliebob99]

I also too use a Twinhan 1020A PCI card... but I dont have the BL2030 as the twinhan works fine for me for all that i want to do.

 

[HokieEngineer]

Reality Channel will be available Nov 16th, according to the Retailer chat...

 

[goaliebob99]

That would be.... drumroll....... next wends.

 

[mwgiii]

HokieEngineer also said in the Retailer Chat thread that Fox Sports West 2 will move from spot to conus.

 

[Mr Tony]

noticed the 2 channels on 110 are WB from Miami & SD

Maybe Dish follows Direct and offers WB to markets without one (or ones that qualify)??????

hope so....maybe Dish will let me drop WPIX then (and not charge me that stupid 5.00 drop fee)
