I can verify that these channels are now 1080i with Dolby Digital audio on DIRECTV. The difference is night and day. This is a 100% improvement over the 720p bit starved mess that they were before.

Pause the video for 1 or 2 seconds and play again. The stutter will go away

I don't think that this is the case. I have had 4k since Jan. of 14, and I called in for a HR54, and they want $299 for it.

I had all zeros on 99ca about 5 minutes ago

I remember listening to the Lions on WJR when I was growing up. I think the announcer was Bob Reynolds.

Great news! Still no word on the WatchESPN?

Got a call yesterday from TDS Telecom, my local phone company in Mid-Michigan. I already have DSL and Phone from them, and they were offering 1 free year of DishNetwork service! I am a happy D* sub, but this offer was tempting. I'm sure that this wasn't for HD service or for DVRs but it is an...

Actually I think that the LA DNS feeds are still on the 119 or 110, but in MPEG4. They are also duplicated on D11. I don't know how much longer they will be on the legacy sats, maybe a couple more months.

I applied last week and haven't been contacted.

This is very exiting. I normally hang out at that "other" site but since a good guy from my neck of the woods has made it big over here, I will be a "satellite guy". Bring on the CEs!!

Jason, Dish Type (Slimline/AT9/3 lnb/etc): Slimline Switch Type (WB68/SWM-8/etc): WB616 Receivers (Model & Mfg for all you use): 2x HR20-700,1 HR21-700, 1 R15-500, and 1 D11 Internet Connectivity (Cable/DSL): DSL Internet Speed (Up & Down, i.e. 512k up/3mb down): 512k up / 3MB down...

I see CBC as more likely as a local-into-local offering. For example, CBET is included by AC Neilson as in the Detroit DMA. All local cable systems carry CBC. Even the podunk cable system where I live 80 miles away carries CBC. Why can't Dish or Direct provide legitamate LiL service including...

I had it done in 2000. I think the cost was 3,900 at the time. It has worked out well for me and my eyes were extremely bad. -9.0 and -9.75............It is not a guarantee, bad outcomes can result. There used to be a webisite called LaserMyEye :: Encyclopedia :: Surgical Eyes Foundation I...

D* has come to an agreement to carry PBS-HD LiL. DirecTV - Investor Relations - News Release

While this statement is true, it has been proven that channels 2-6 are not well suited for ATSC transmission as they are too prone to interference. There are some that suggest that post-transition we could be dealing with a spectrum of 7-51.

Actually TNT looked especially bad last night. It wasn't just the MPEG2 artifacts. There was some major problems with TNT-HD. It actually looked better in SD.

Wilson, Where exactly do you live. Almost all Mid-Michigan affiliates broadcast in HD (except CW and MY). They aren't carried by satellite yet, but can be received OTA.

Scobuck - Any word from your contact on the launch of new HD-LiL cities?

MSG-HD is listed in the online guide at Directv.com

I just noticed that MSG-HD is listed in the online guide at Directv.com

Has anyone considered that what Scobuck is referring to is the NHL's "Original Six", and that the NHL Network is coming tomorrow?

Also, I beleive that 245 TNT is just a remapped version of 75. It is not MPEG4.

By definition, Geosynchronous orbit is at 0 deg. Latitude (over the equator). This is where (at 22,300 mi up) the orbit of the sat can equal the rotation of the earth.

It's not really related to MPEG4. It's for the KA-LO band.

Scobuck, Any info on the next HD LiL cities?
