UPDATE! 12-21-05 Dish Transmitting CBS-E HD in 1440x1080i

[Gary Murrell]

Guys this is obviously a mistake on Dish's part, no way Dish is doing this for a set "reason"

someone needs to email them to tell them about this and that it is incorrect, 720p is gonna save a little bandwidth but not enough for dish to do the conversion before they send out CBS to us

this is obviously a mistake, at least it seems that way to me

the frame rate is all screwed up now

CBS HD on 61.5 is now 1280x720p and at 10.98 Mbps WTF!! and was moved to Tp. 17 from 2 as noted before

anyone who thinks this is what Dish is going to do with this channel is off their rocker

I have emailed Dish with this info straight up, I suggest we make this a sticky guys and start emailing Dish to make sure

Giving it a Sticky... Come on E* don't ruin some of the best HD you put out...Some of us are so far from OTA HD signals that the distant nets are our only hope of getting network HD...

[Gary Murrell]

I think I may have figured this out guys, is the the transponder that ESPN 2 has been uplinked to on 61.5??

can anyone confirm this, Hokie/Bob, which Tp. was ESPN 2 put up on 61.5 ??

It could be 17 and that may be why we are seeing this(temporarily) on CBS, just a guess

No, ESPN2HD was put where the CBS-HD East feed was available to customers (TP2) So now the only thing on TP are the HD Demo and ESPN2HD

TP17 HAS CBS-HD East (available to subscribers) and ABC and FOX I believe (I don't know the exact networks, but I do know this TP has 3 channels on it) And then there is only 1 HD channel on TP19 which I believe is NBC HD (which is also being converted to 720p) I really don't get this boneheaded allocation here dish! Why have 3 networks on 1 TP and only 1 on the other. Have a FOX and NBC share a TP and ABC and CBS share the other. Only 1 720p and 1 1080i channel on each TP will yield amazing bitrates.

I'm guessing Dish plans to add some channels launching in January that they can't announce or uplink yet. (i.e. Fox-HD, NGC-HD, or MTV-HD)

I have confidence that all things will get straightened out, we don't have long to wait and find out now

I don't believe the voom and espn2 are MP4 yet as John and Tony are going with, just because it has a different package ID doesn't mean it aint MP2
