7771 - WPRI EchoStar3 61.5W TP 16 ConUS beam changed from MPEG2 SD to (0X92) (A)
7775 - WLWC EchoStar3 61.5W TP 16 ConUS beam changed from MPEG2 SD to (0X92) (A)
7776 - WSBE EchoStar3 61.5W TP 16 ConUS beam changed from MPEG2 SD to (0X92) (A)

What does that 0x92 mean to the Providence, RI stations?

 

[JohnH]

What does that 0x92 mean to the Providence, RI stations?

We don't know. Maybe someone in Providence knows something different about these stations than the other Providence stations. Are they digital origination rather than analog?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I just got this in about the Providence Stations.

Effective March 5, the following local channels in the Providence, RI DMA
will not be viewable on non 8PSK equipment (301, 501, 508, 510, 721, 2800,
3900, 4900, 2000, 1000, 1500, 3000, 3500, 3700, 3800, 4000, 4500, 4700,
5000, and 5500).

Customers impacted will see a black screen with a banner.

As part of the free 8PSK receiver upgrade project these receiver models need
to be upgraded to 8PSK capable receivers in order to continue receiving
local programming. Non-local programming will not be impacted by this
service change.

WPRI 7771

WLWC 7775

WSBE 7776

I mentioned this last week in the Pub Members area.

 

[kstuart]

In terms of current and past Dish receivers, is "8PSK capable" equivalent to "VIP" ?

 

[JohnH]

In terms of current and past Dish receivers, is "8PSK capable" equivalent to "VIP" ?

interesting, the 6000 is not mentioned.

 

[rocatman]

VIP or MPEG4.

Not exactly. If you notice the models 311, 322, 525 and 625 are not mentioned because these are capable of receiving 8PSK SD channels.
