    Uplink Activity Report - 8/8/2008 1:02pm - 4 changes

    Dish and Newport apparently don't see eye to eye on things. The 2 Newport owned stations in Memphis aren't in HD either, one of them being the local ABC station.

    Memphis HD Available?

    So I saw the uplink report Wednesday, most of Memphis' HD is made available. I called Thursday to get a dish for 61.5 ordered and Memphis HD turned on. After talking to "May" for about 45 minutes, who told me HD wasn't available, then it was and I should be getting it, then you'll need another...

    Uplink Activity Report - 6/19/2008 12:22pm - 7 changes

    Yeah, I think most people on here know about the switch to digital. The point I was trying to make is that if they're using the digital feeds from the local stations, wouldn't they receive any HD content broadcast by the stations? Since they have the digital signal from the stations, and the...

    Uplink Activity Report - 6/19/2008 12:22pm - 7 changes

    Legal or not, the problem is that no one knows. Dish is already using the digital feeds in Memphis for the SD locals. The HD channels have been uplinked for around 2 months now. Something doesn't sound right here. Why would they have announced a turn-on date if the ink wasn't dry on all the...

    Volume Two, Show One

    Maybe it was just me, but when I listen to the podcast on Tuesday night it sounded like Scott and Bob had joined the Chipmunks. It hasn't been like that the previous weeks. I dunno, it could be on my end.

    Uplink activity for 4/22/08

    WLMT (CW) and WPTY (ABC) are both owned by Clear Channel. They share facilities and news ops. AFSIK WKNO does not simulcast the analog anywhere on their digital signal. Their feeds are titled WKNO-HD and WKNO 2. That may be where the second digital channel comes in next year.

    Uplink activity for 4/22/08

    Okay, so I miss-read 2 of them, but the CW is in HD (WLMT). Here's a question for you..... The PBS station, WKNO, shows different SD and HD feeds. I don't think I've ever seen the same program on -TV and -DT. Is this a nationwide thing, or is Memphis the exception/test/oddball? I don't know if...

    Dish ad shows addition of CNN and CN HD

    Wait a minute.......... Damnit, I'm calling dish and I want a refund. I've never had EPSN in HD :haha You would think someone would at least proofread these things before they get posted for the world to see.

    NOTICE - Uplink Report Issues

    They are going to start the plan with non-existing subs in order to keep down the number of service calls to install wing dishes. At least that's what I've heard. I don't know when they'd make it available to existing subs. Maybe "soon"?

    Tbs Hd

    WTBS-TV 17 and TBS Superstation were the same, but different until Oct. 1 last year. The superstation broadcast basically the same schedule WTBS aired. The main exceptions were the required E/I and such for OTA stations. Without getting into books worth of FCC rulings and decisions, the...
