Uplink Report - Sept 5th

[SummitAdvantageRetailer]

Yikes! Information overload to the nth power. I hope these get turned on by the time of the Charlie Chat, but maybe they'll get turned on during CEDIA, instead?

By NIT it's 50-50 :
Service: 9426 (NFLHD) user defined (0xa4) <- H.264
Service: 9429 (NTGHD) user defined (0xa6)
Service: 9435 (STZHD) user defined (0xa4) <- H.264
Service: 9461 (HGHD) user defined (0xa6)

But checking the tp30 mux I see ALL of them MPEG-2 !!
(Well, from now you can't trust the Service Type value ).

Compare same tp30 8/27 and today:

[BFG]

and the correct bit rates and resolutions?

Channels in the system: 3016

Cool. First I'm not sure what the funny code after KBS World listing is but it's made available so great. The Italian channels are definitely on the wings just in time for that announcement.

But what is this I see on the last entry? ESPNI? ESPN Interactive? What's that?! For Monday Night Football? College football?

"Channels" up in that range are used for Dish Home, so I'd assume some sort of espn interactive application on dish home.

wowzers.

so now they're doing 4 mpeg2 channels on a tp...

now I really wanna now why they're using mpeg4.

does the same method look better, cause it's the same thing 3 1440i channels and 1 720p channel for local markets.

30 STZHD 9435 9.2 1440x1080i
30 NFLHD 9464 9.4 1440x1080i
30 NTGHD 9429 12 1280x720p
30 HGHD 9461 10.8 1440x1080i
other data mpbs 1.9

total 43.3

is that pretty close?

I heard a rumor that a number of RSN HD channels have been uplinked. Or is this old news?
