The spots are accurate. What takes time is digging thru the data and tying each spot to it's market(s) and transponder(s).

How long spot 70 for Puerto Rico takes to activate and which transponder is on???????
Scott could answer with more certainty than me.The last info I read said they removed Simtsonian from testing.It usually is reported in the uplink reports.
I haven't head anything about it testing. I was up in testing a few months ago and then went away.
I believe the channel is owned by CBS and as you know CBS is not too happy with DISH at the moment.

OK, thanks. While visiting relatives over Xmas I watched about six shows. Really an awesome channel. I hope Dish brings it back.
Dunno if you got a Roku with during the AMC dispute but,Smithsonian channel is available on it.
No, I did not get one. But both my Samsung TVs are the smart kind. I will look around in them and see what I can find. Thanks for the idea.
I have been asking myself the same. I checked yesterday, and none of the spot transponders (18-32) has any signal strength in PR. Of course, tp 31 is not on yet, so maybe that is where spot 70 is, but I really don't know....
If anyone knows, please post.
Would be interesting to read what DISH has in store (if anything) for this spot.
It is not there in the startup phase. Probably lots more things will be added after they get all existing channels moved to E16. So, you need to wait and see if it pops up on the uplink report (after Digi gets it updated).
I put together some photo shots of the transponder reuse for E16. One composite and 3 segment photos of the 15 transponders and the markets they are expected to serve. The photos illustrate how any given transponder is reused multiple times by separating the markets served geographically. Ten of the markets are served by 2 transponders, with the remainder having one transponder service.

Thanks, how soon will there be a list of tps, spots, and markets for us inquiring minds? Is that what digi is working on?
I have signal up to TP 17 with signal of 78 and most others but on 18..?????? You think you can double check that and how much you receive. Very, very odd. I know my system is in working order since I do my own maintenance which recently included three new LNB's, all new RG6 and a brand new switch. The word rain fade is non existent. I have 1.1 CM dishes.
Bottom line, please double check that TP 18. You must have a spot beam directed at your house only

I double check and strangely this is what I get tp 18 Locked name not acquired signal 55.
I really dont know what the receiver is seeing.
Yep, it's switch bleed if it isn't saying locked with the name.
