Before making that comment, I had not noticed the page 3 of the list for 11/30/23 with Animal Planet, GSN, OWN, Documentary, Crime and Investigation, Cooking, Paramount. Those will sting people with only F2.

Lots of channels. It could be worse. Not many highly viewed nationwide stations there. Dawson City 75cm dropouts have been moved up 5 months. 6 months ahead for Whitehorse/Yellowknife. Seems like this news will trump the others: "In view of the unexpected increases in ANIK F2’s...

With the 2/21/23 bulletin migration dates behind us, is there any information available regarding future channel migrations (MPEG4 to HEVC or F2 to G1)?

Bingo! I had been looking for this page for a long time. Thank you.

The movement doesn't sound sustainable for fixed antennas. Shaw used to have a page where you could download spreadsheets of channels with satellite and transponder information. Does anyone know where that information has gone?

Thanks everyone. Moving forward, I would expect Shaw to use the approximately 5 remaining months to gradually migrate channels to G1. By carefully selecting which channels to migrate and when, they can better control the customer service call volume and installer appointments. They won't...

Do I have this right? 1. Shaw and Telesat moved 46 channels from F2 to G1 allowing F2 more bandwidth for the remaining F2 channels. They also changed modulation on F2 to increase signal strength and for more error tolerance. These changes allow the operator to lessen the rate of satellite...

Nobody ever figured out why they moved HD's ESPN, USA, TNT, WGN from 110 to 119? Pretty big move there. Two theories were for Olympics and some deal with DirecTV. The Olympic theory doesn't add up to me because what difference would it make having room on 110 versus 119. User with one have...

So with the 922, I cannot watch via the slingbox site? I must use dishnetwork.com / remote access? I was hoping to assign this box to my slingbox account so I can select the device (922) along with the other 2 external slings that I run (desktop and android).

Just use this ;) :

Has that been verified to work?

Maybe they forgot to pay their bill? Or maybe it's another dispute. I hope not because that could take months. Kidding btw.

This looks to me like a straight swap for E*4 (8 Transponders for Dish Mexico), and E*8 (23 Transponders USA). Notice there are NO northern border locals on E*8 now and Quetzsat1 will not cover those areas. Since Quetzsat1 won't cover northern border areas of USA it is useless for national...

Thanks a lot for the replies. Interesting move. Oh so this is to wake up the people who didn't have any movie channels get dropped to MPEG4 SD. I wonder if they'll end up putting all the MPEG4 SD on 61.5.

Anyone notice these adds and have a clue what they're for? They are all on 72.7 in the same MPEG4 HD. The channels numbers are not typical 9400's HD's either.
