All is well here in So.Cal.

9300 A&E looks fine. Like ota HD. Close to the look you would see from a D-5 or HDCAM SR in my bay.

Lets hope it stays this way... and not the degradation as we have seen in mpeg2.


9301 Discovery looks very soft like 1440x1080.

TLC ?

i have lost 9300 since it switched to A&E anyone else have that problem

No 9300 here either (55395 - MN) or 498. Earlier today (6pm ish), I had all three channels.

Not sure what the dealio is....but I hope it's not a sign of bad things. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's only temporary.

Here in Vermont, no problem with Discovery Channel on 9301 but 9300 is blank.

 

[tec319]

I live just south of Buffalo.

well for me earlyer i couldn't get either untill the 9300 switched to A&E and thats all i get accept the 480-481-498

 

[mfegley]

Getting both

Here in Ft Lauderdale

 

[ShadowEKU]

okay now im getting everything except 9300

 

[vegasjunkie2004]

my hr20 gets everything except 9300. my h20 gets everything....(the sopranos look great!!!). I was thinking that maybe some of us with hr20's are having problems because A&E is a true mpeg 4 channel now....maybe the problem is our recievers getting mpeg 4 programming....i don't know, just a thought.

I'm getting 480 and 9301, not getting 481 and 9300 -- does that mean one of my B-Band converters is bad?

If 498 says you are good then you are good.

 

[Colourist]

Just an FYI... 9300 A&E just went to searching for sat... then all okay...

 

[jcflesh]

I was getting the welcome screen on 498.. now i get blank, nor do i get 9300) 480-481 and 9301 fine (its an HR20-700

 

[Colourist]

Just an FYI... There is a reset button under the flip down on the right hand side where the card is. Trust me it does wonders... press it... twice if you want... I would always reset before setting on the phone for too long...

HR20-700

Last 2 hrs. I had nothing on 9300. Checked just now and I am seing:
- NFL Network HD on 9300 at 1080i with side bars and D* logo and itx80(? i think) on left side bar
- Blank screen on 498
- 480 and 481 say "BBC confirmed working"
- 9301 coming in too, but could not determine programming due to commmercial

 

[boydjp420]

9300 says channel not purchased now, I was watching C.S.I. earlier???
