Uplink Report for November 8th, 2006

[Smith P.]

Yeah, we're missed it !

 

[SummitAdvantageRetailer]

Yeah, we're missed it !

You crack me up, P, with your grammar sometimes.

It seems as though the latest uplink activity favors Thursday as the day to have the uplinked channels made available and such. I'd love to see NHL HD and the RSN HD's but I have a feeling the DNS situation is diverting a lot of resources from these programmers and engineers.

You didn't get the memo about the MPEG6 conversion next year?

LOL yea no joke after we all buy up all of the mpeg 4 receivers!!

 

[topcats69]

to MPEG6 will cost 5,000 for the box. Charlie will take house cars etc. for payments

I'm waiting for MPEG64. Or is that Atari 64. I can't remember.

With FIOS TV starint to rollout, I think there will be a lot of people leaving *E, I will be one of them. As soon as FIOS will be available in my area I am jumping. *E better start to rollout some more HD content. Where is Cinemax, SNYHD? come on dish do something. I personally don;t watch Voom a lot the only channels that I relly like within the Voom package are RAVE and WorldSportHD. The rest I don't care for..... Well I needed to vent.

Must be nice to be Charlie.

Having every channel (not on spot beam) on the system available to him.

With FIOS TV starint to rollout....

Where ?? Why do people think FIOS is anywhere near a widespread thing ?? It's not and won't be for YEARS.

I agree with you there. Fios sounds great for the small percentage of people with access to it. There are a large number of markets (including my own) where FIOS is not even on the horizon.

This is so true and sad! To make matters worse all i have in my area is charter.

Along with the Musak changes, this one is all I really wanted for the rest of the year! I can die happy now...

No kidding! In Cincinnati, Verizon as a home phone service provider is completely foreign. As long as Cincinnati Bell keeps growing and growing, we'll never see FIOS.

For perhaps the C64 (Commodore 64 - 64 bytes)
