I notified Gary by email before I posted anything here. The Datadigesters team coordinates our work outside of this forum.

DirecTV has fixed the feed to 119 TPN 32 and the missing SD duplicates for Charleston, WV and Louisville, KY are back on 119.

Those P/I channels are not SD duplicates. They are SD only. In my opinion, there will continue to be many mpeg2 SD channels on 101. The whole DirecTV system is dependent on the metadata that exists on DSS modulated (Mpeg2 SD) transponders at 101. 4 transponders carry software, that is...

There's a difference between national channels and local channels. Although they paused a couple of years ago, they were actively removing SD duplicates of local channels. After they were able to remove the spotbeams from the failing T7S satellite at 119, they stopped shutting SD duplicates...

That is one reason they have implemented SignalSaver, because fewer and fewer channels have SD duplicates.

It is now 25 days since the loss of local SD duplicates was reported here for the Charleston/Huntington WV DMA. 119 TPN 32 continues to show no audio or video PIDS, despite the fact that The SD duplicate channels for Charleston WV and Louisville KY are mapped to that transponder. I doubt...

That is a bit off topic, because it was an outage of a single stream within the multiplexed transponder signal, not the whole transponder digital content. You were able to tune to it, but it was just a black picture.

There are no spot beams on DirecTV's 119 satellite. D7S which had the spot beam transponders was retired a couple of years ago. Most of the markets that were on 119 had their SD duplicates removed. They reshuffled the remaining markets to the remaining 11 transponders licensed to DirecTV at...

I took Parkersburg from the National TPNGrid (These are National beams). I'm not going to figure out why that shows up in the grid right now. It's not important.. What is important is this failure explains the OP's concern. Since most people don't watch SD duplicates, DirecTV may not be...

BREAKING NEWS... TPN 32 on 119, (the transponder that carries SD locals for Charleston and Parkersburg WV., also Lexington KY) is not carrying any PIDS at all right now. The mux stream is all null packets. That is a disconnection somewhere in the communication path to the uplink...

The weekly Transponder maps, which show what is in the APG guide data, still show the SD locals for the Charleston/Huntington WV DMA as active on 119. I just ran an extra data collection run, and they are unchanged since Wednesday. It is more likely that he has a Line of sight problem to 119...

With the drive being powered down, it may have assigned alternate tracks for the failing ones. I have a similar age pre-release HR54. After a few years, I installed a 2TB Western Digital Red drive, deigned for constant video surveillance use. So far, it seems immortal.

DIRECTV seems to have given up on the concept of transponder bonding a while ago. The concept, as I understood it, was to get three 4K channels by bonding two transponders together. They are currently getting two 4K channels on a single transponder. And they are not hurting for available...

What most of the cable companies do when converting their distribution from coax to fiber is they use a technology called "RFOG" (Radio frequency over glass). It uses all the coax oriented equipment and spectrum, transmitted over fiber. If your upload/download speeds are not the same after...

The HR44 can't output 4K itself either.

I have generally found that calling in the morning, East coast time, was more likely to get someone who could take care of whatever problem I had.
