Nice Springfield locals. :)

About time! :D

Finally, NBC KPLC TV Channel 7 in Lake Charles is UPLINKED! yes!

Pittsburgh on 77? While EA is the logical choice, they're ALREADY on 129 and 118 for some reason.

Come on, Dish, you need to put Scranton on 77!

Davenport IA and Paducah DMA HD locals uplinked, finally.

so not gonna have epix or outdoor hd or even 12 hd channels we were told about on last charlie chat. i'm shocked.

Quite a few people will be happy to see their markets in HD going up. It will mean some changes since it is on 77w, but it is better than nothing! Surprised to see Lake Charles on 77, it would have fit nicely on the same TP as the Lafayette, LA market since that beam also covers that DMA.

Looking at some of the holes it is quite obvious seeing which HD markets will be going on E-14 at 119. Hint hint...Shreveport.

:( come on with B'ham AL CW HD and PBS HD! Please??!!

I have no idea why KPLC NBC 7 is on 77. Is it possible that it will be moved over to the 119/110/129 ?
I will try to find out more information from my contact. Obviously my contact is reliable at this point. But he did not reveal that the channel would be on the 77 satellite. I'm confused, but I admit I am not an expert on this subject. Just a viewer in the area waiting for my channels.

Evansville Ind. will be torked!!

I wonder what they will do with 77... it doesnt make sense to load it with conus locals... i wonder if they will put E7 there when 119 is replaced? Also, why are they not mirroring the 61.5 HD to 72.7 yet? :) I thought this would occur "soon."

They'll move Pittsburgh off 118.7 soon

Come on Shreveport or Tyler, TX Locals!!! HD Please!!!!

Does anyone know how long it typically is before the new local HD channels are available? Is it around 2-3 weeks?

so not gonna have epix or outdoor hd or even 12 hd channels we were told about on last charlie chat. i'm shocked.

What are those channels??

Probably not.. if they go available on 77 they will probably stay there as installers would be installing 1000.4 dishes then have to swap them out. Your contact might not know. I remember hearing in another forum that KPLC stated that would be up on satellite 1Q 2010... still can't believe it. It's unfortunate they can't pull in ABC or CBS from Beaumont or Lafayette yet for the satellite locals, you'll still need OTA for that.

What's confusing is I figured that would go to 129. Waiting for that day to bring in out of markets again. Lafayette would pick up the NBC from Lake Charles, and Lake Charles would pick up ABC and CBS from Lafayette. But the way it is now they could pick up CBS and ABC from Beaumont on 61.5, although I'm not sure that beam reaches the LCH DMA. Lafayette would just snag NBC from Baton Rouge on 129.

Interesting to see how all this plays out...but I'm not holding my breath on the bill that will allow them to do this.

I wonder what they will do with 77... it doesnt make sense to load it with conus locals... i wonder if they will put E7 there when 119 is replaced? Also, why are they not mirroring the 61.5 HD to 72.7 yet? :) I thought this would occur "soon."

You'll see more migration of nationals from 77 to 72 this month.

Lots of speculation here... I'm betting the mirror of 61.5 HD to 72 will start this summer after the E14 launch. They are busy prepping for additional 119 markets. E7 could stay as a hot spare on WA or either go to 148 to hold the license.

It makes perfect sense to load 77 with HD locals..as it is speculated the mexican satellite going up there will have spotbeams due to the mixed Conus configuration needed for Mexico, they could reuse those TPs as spotbeams in the US if they are far enough from the Mexican border.


Come on Shreveport or Tyler, TX Locals!!! HD Please!!!!

Keep an eye out in May. E14 should be coming online then. I bet they'll be active by June or July.


Does anyone know how long it typically is before the new local HD channels are available? Is it around 2-3 weeks?

Sometimes a week....sometimes 2 weeks...sometimes never.

It absolutely makes sense to load it with CONUS locals because eventually the QuetzSat-1 satellite, a large spotbeam satellite will be going there in 2011. In addition, Dish should be moving more and more EA CONUS programming from 77 W to 72.7 W as more TPs on Nimiq 5 are released to Dish. E-7 should be staying at 119 W for the foreseeable future.

481 - PPV - EchoStar11 110W TP 14 ConUS beam renamed to NUDE (A)

HA HA yeah Shreveport no Hd, you have to be kidding all the small towns getting their HD and NOT Shreveport. Guess I will stay in Dallas! :rant:

Evansville Ind. will be torked!!

Torked?

E-14 hasn't launched yet. It will be better for you anyways since you won't have to change dishes and/or receivers.

What are those channels??

got what 9 ? but not epix, outdoor channel, and there was supposed to be 1 or 2 more.

They are putting our HD locals on Eastern Arc? Monroe-ElDorado

We have been Western Arc forever. ALL the HD dishes here are western arc. I don't mind changing, but I can't believe they uplinked them to 77.

I also see 2 more PBS HDs uplinked. I just wish I could get mine.

Apparently those areas do not have it in the cards for E-14 beams.

I believe those markets are missing a local channel or two due to the market size, so those do not surprise me to see them in HD.

Wow. Last week I moved into my new house. I was using 118 for my Pittsburgh locals, my new place has no LOS to 118 or 129 so I went ahead and "moved" back to my true locals from Washington DC. This week, Dish puts Pittsburgh locals on 77. I can't win!

Apparently those areas do not have it in the cards for E-14 beams.


They have our SD on western arc (on 110 to be exact). This is just weird to me that they would want to change that many dishes here.

Dish is VERY predominant here, because they are the only provider with our locals (well, other than comcast). Direct doesn't carry them.

Maybe that is a new money making strategy. Make everyone pay to get new dishes installed :)

I'll just stay in my Baton Rouge spotbeam on 129. I get my locals OTA fine.

I will admit that this move boggles my mind.

Evansville Ind. will be torked!!


Torked?

I think it comes from the dumb happy look that Peter Tork of the Monkees always had on his face.

Emailed my engineer friend at a tv station in town (I'm in radio), regarding the Monroe, LA HD uplink. I won't say his name or where he works, but here was his response.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry,
I did not even know they were interested in local HD yet. I can tell you that Direct TV is soon to launch the local stations on their system. I would imagine they will provide the HD signals to their subs, but cannot guarantee it. The equipment for reception is being installed at this time...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Guess we'll have some more choices in town soon. Choices are good.

I would probably never leave dish though. I like my 722K too much. Best DVR I've ever had.

Nice Springfield locals. :)

About time! :D

Homer will be happy! mmmmmmmmmm locals mmmmmm.

Evansville Ind. will be torked!!

I thought I remember back in November that Evansville was uplinked but has yet to date been turned on.

They still haven't shown all the cards on the use of the 119 beams yet, but apparently they won't have no room for Monroe there. So there's no where else to put. So with people wanting more and more HD locals they have to put them somewhere.

I don't think they make any money off rolling a guy to your house to install a dish...they probably go in the hole a bit.

Good choice on the BR locals and OTA ;)

If they are already getting the locals for SD, most of the time they pick them via OTA (sometimes they will co-locate their POP at one station and get that one direct since they are in the same building). They just upgrade their backhaul to carry the full HD instead of center cutting the HD feed and sending it back in SD to the uplink facility.

Of course there is the contract signing too, but usually the local stations don't hear about that either as Dish will deal with the parent company of the station. I've seen a few cases where the station engineer never knew Dish put up their station in HD on the satellite.

Nice Springfield locals. :)

About time! :D

It's a start. But, no CBS HD and no Fox at all. I'll stay "living" in Hartford until they appear.

Look below the locals and you'll notice WGGBD in HD. Looks like that is the FOX. I'll have to add that one to the database.

This raises a lot of questions:

Did I miss it, what happened to FOX-6 which i owned by WGGB and transmits in HD, and the low power CSB owned by WSFB?

Hope those of us in Berkshires will be able to get WGBY - it is part of the state supported WGBH network , they claim the Berkshires as their home territory, it is on all the cable channels. Rules for PBS stations are different right?

Also I thought there was no room to add the Albany SD stations to EA. Not begrudging Springfield their stations, but the Albany DMA is much larger.

I really posted that for the Direct tidbit. I wasn't expecting them to ever do locals in my market.

And yes, Dish has space on a tower downtown where they grab all our HD OTA. If I'm not mistaken, they have to pick it up OTA by law.

The best thing about my current combination of Baton Rouge/Monroe is that when my Monroe station has a problem (ie KAQY/ABC went crazy during the Lost premiere), I just flip on over to my Baton Rouge channel.

I am glad Dish is adding our HD locals. I'm also glad Direct is adding them. Competition and choice is good for everyone.

It does not concern me but my cousin lives in Pittsburgh and the locals on 77 is good news. My cousin has Comcast but might go back to Dish Network if he moves.

I always wondered why they had them on 118.7. Especially if you want a Dish 100.4 EA you had to mess with another dish even if you did not care about internationals.

I was still hoping they would have added TCM-HD though. I hope soon though.

Technically, it's torqued. As in stabbing a knife in someone's back and applying torque to the handle to really make it hurt...

I believe those markets are missing a local channel or two due to the market size, so those do not surprise me to see them in HD.

Seriously, the only way to get PBS HD (on Dish) is to be in a tiny market? I would think the priority would be to get the channels to the largest audience in the major markets.

They are both there on the report.

Yep...you got it. There's that law where by certain date Dish has to carry all of the HD channels in a percentage of the markets. So what's the easy way to do this? Add PBS-HD where that is the only HD channel they are missing. Your government at work for you! ;)

Well Evansville was uplinked back on 11/4/09 (http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-uplink-center/192913-11-4-2009-4-40pm-uplink-activity-report-98-changes.html) . So hopefully they will go live instead of getting stabbed in the back.... :)

all 4 of the Springfield MA channels are there,the wggbd at the bottom of the report is fox 6 and the wshm is cbs.also the Albany NY market is really not much bigger than the Springfield MA market,maybe by around 100,000 people.

I am glad Dish is adding our HD locals. I'm also glad Direct is adding them. Competition and choice is good for everyone.

Exciting / surprising news about the Monroe / El Dorado channels being uplinked! Even if it requires another (hopefully inexpensive) installation to pick them up. i didn't see the local ABC affiliate on the list, but that's a channel that comes in pretty well OTA.

Very interesting about DirectTV locals. Since they have never offered even SD locals here, I would never have considered subscribing. Probably still won't, if I can get the HD locals from Dish soon without much expense. Even with the recent price increase, Dish seems to have the national HD lead well in hand. And I'm a little ticked with DirecTV for ignoring this market for so long.

My bad. KAQY is in Columbia, not Monroe or El Dorado, so I missed it at first glance.

Just a theory about the Pittsburgh locals...

They may keep the channels mirrored on both the EA and WA because many people in the Pitt area can't get one or the other because of the terrain (hills, mountains, etc.). Keeping them mirrored on both arcs gives them the best penetration into that market that they can get.

It is weird that CBS is only up in SD though. My wife will kill me if she has to watch the Patriots in SD.

It is obvious when you read their wikipedia info. They are still transmitting an analog signal.

Any chance they'll put that up?

I wouldn't switch either. I like Dish for the hardware. I say it all the time... 722K with an OTA module is awesome.

I went through all the missing station cities and affiliations for 77w today and added/corrected the data. I reran the report and pushed another update to TheList.

One of the couple of PITA manual processes I have to update on the uplink tool since there really isn't a database out there with the info I need. But oh well...it is worth it since we can see exactly which locals they are.

Thanks Digiblur! :D

Pittsburgh on 77? While EA is the logical choice, they're ALREADY on 129 and 118 for some reason.

Come on, Dish, you need to put Scranton on 77!as with other DMA's the PGH Locals will most likely be removed from 118.7

Evansville Ind. will be torked!!

Yes we are was planing on coming back to DISh if the gets us HD locals.

nothing yet

I just talked to a chief eng at one of our local Evansville station, his station has had NO contact from DISH to add his hd signal to dish.

TV Japan was removed from my guide. I find it now on 641. I am not in Hawaii.

I just talked to a chief eng at one of our local Evansville station, his station has had NO contact from DISH to add his hd signal to dish.

I wonder if it has something to do with Evansville being a western arch market. The channels were uplinked to 77. I still don't understand why they wouldn't put Evansville on 129.

I think there wasn't a beam on 129 that properly covers the Evansville market...or either there was no room. Don't remember.

Also, you can't always go by the station engineers. I've heard of several where the station never knew they were going up on Dish in HD as Dish will pick them up via OTA and deal with the station owners and not the station directly.

Thanks for the info

I'm new & extremely excited right now. So please excuse me if this is really stupid. I'm not familiar with this kind of thing. Does this


5282(7) - KPLC [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar8 77W TP 10 ConUS beam (NA)(Lake Charles, LA-NBC (http://maps.google.com/maps?&hl=en&q=Lake%20Charles,%20LA))
5283(29) - KVHP [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar8 77W TP 10 ConUS beam (NA)(Lake Charles, LA-FOX (http://maps.google.com/maps?&hl=en&q=Lake%20Charles,%20LA))
5285(18) - KLTL [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar8 77W TP 10 ConUS beam (NA)(Lake Charles, LA-PBS (http://maps.google.com/maps?&hl=en&q=Lake%20Charles,%20LA))

mean we will finally have our locals on Dish? Never thought I would see the day... :shocked

I promise this will be my last dumb question. :hatsoff:

Yes and once the House approves the new satellite home improvement act that has passed the senate, you will also get the other networks that you lack from a near by city. My vote is that you will get Abc and Cbs from Beaumont , since we are only 65 miles apart & we used to share a Fox affiliate.

No vote needed. Lafayette HD locals are only on Western Arc, so it would have to be Beaumont.... not sure if the 61.5 beam reaches all of the LKC DMA though. It must as they had room for those three channels on the Lafayette 129 beam and that beam covers the Lake Charles DMA.

I saw that the Lake Charles channels are on the 77 sat which is conus. I guess they will use the two Beaumont stations for Abc and Cbs and uplink them on the 77 sat just for Lake Charles so they can have full set of locals, when they make them available for subs.

That's fantastic! No more suddenlink!! Thanks!! :up

The Monroe,La. locals are on 77 in HD. Can any one please tell me when they might be available to dish customers? Also. will they stay on 77? And how long are they usually in testing stage. Answers to any or all will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
