| | | Uplink Tool Change Log & Behind the scenes at the Uplink PC
Change Log:
-=-=-= 10.03.15 =-=-=- - Scheduled for production - 03/15/2010
+ Added logic to show the location of unknown local subchannels (ex: KABCD, WABCD, etc)
-=-=-= 10.03.02 =-=-=- - Scheduled for production - 03/03/2010
+ Added logic to describe new unknown TIDs based on current TID ranges
+ Corrected issue with error text message notification option not being able to be turned off
+ Minor cosmetic issues with status window
-=-=-= 10.02.17a =-=-=- - Scheduled for production - immediately
+ Corrected issue with new TIDs causing Spotbeam map link creation code to hang
-=-=-= 09.07.24 =-=-=- - Scheduled for production 07/26/2009
+ Updated RSN HD filters on 61.5
+ TheList will update when no report is generated due to only sport moves.
+ Optimized TheList update procedure by 50% due to station match code rewrite
+ Corrected and adjusted Channel name to station match code to match subchannel affiliates and 'X' prepended channel names during moves
+ Corrected app not closing when notification text sent due to init failure
+ *** Report sorting changed! *** Locals will be at the top of each subsection of the report sorted by State then City. This should group most DMA's together except for the split state DMA's.
I know I stated several months ago I would post a video of things of happening at the uplink PC. I haven't had time to do the video as I've been adding a couple of things and cleaning up the code on the uplink tool. I decided to post some pictures of the process for you guys for now. These pictures are taken from a manual process of the report. The automated mode looks about the same, except the log viewer shows a bit more, and less screens are shown.
I'll explain the process when I get a chance later today. Enjoy!
And of course JohnH deserves a big round of applause for all of his help in this project.

It has been amazing for me to see this program grow, when it started out it was so basic, but now it is very in depth and has a lot of functions.
The guys at the uplink center were amazed to see this in action last week. I think this program catalogs and reports data faster then anything they have at the uplink.
A job well done by Digiblur! Thanks Travis for the great work!

Thanks, Digiblur! Your report is always eagerly awaited. I also appreciate your help in deciphering what is happening with uplinks and other technical questions and your overall insights.

The first section I check when I come to the site. It'll be getting a lot of hits today from AK/HI.
Thanks.

Question: How does the pc monitor the uplink tables? Is it interfaced with a dish receiver somehow? If it is, how is it interfaced?
