I spotted them testing an Apple TV F1 channel on the stream server

The Olympics mix is now live on 205-2, 242-1 and 600-2

Also, it's not reflected in the guide yet, but I'm pretty sure 2022 Rai News 24 is blacked out for the Olympics. The feed on their website is now geoblocked and some other streaming services that carry it in North America have it blacked out.

Do we get the "gold zone " ch ?

 

[KyL416]

You have to stream it via Peacock or the NBC app

The duplicate Red Zone on 703 was removed

 

[TheRatPatrol]

87 DEALS is now on channel 98-6
88 BEST is now on channel 98-7

Is something else coming to channels 87 and 88?

 

[KyL416]

Nothing yet for the Angels or Tigers.

They finally announced Angels.TV and a MLB distributed package for both the Tigers and Red Wings

Prep for Indian Wells by swapping Tennis with TNT so it can be on a TPN with only 5 channels

9757 PEACOK and 9760 OFFER - $10 off P+Showtime for 3 months are now live

I thought I might explain some things about "Offline" channels.

There are four "offline" satellite streams used when a channel has no active programming.
Each one is a low‑bandwidth signal with a still image and looping audio.

The receiver does not treat these specially — it simply tunes the Net, TID,
and PID it is given. In our weekly data we substitute the word "Offline"
for the PID because that is more meaningful to readers. Any Offline channel is mapped to one of these satellite streams.

Offline Type	Net	TID	PID	Resolution
SD MPEG-2 Offline	0	21	0x03AC	SD (MPEG-2)
SD MPEG-4 Offline	15	0	0x1700	SD (MPEG-4)
HD MPEG-4 Offline	15	132	0x1700	HD
UHD / 4K Offline	15	125	0x1700	4K / UHD

 

[lordodogg]

Thanks for the explanation.
I've always thought the SD MPEG-4 Offline and HD MPEG-4 Offline screens look the same.
They both look like they're in HD.

I agree, and it is hard to tell. But all of the 18 other signals on that transponder are SD mpeg4 channels, and there are 4 music channels on that transponder also. A mpeg4 SD transmission can look really good, if the source feed is good.
