I'll take that bet, in any amount. But it wouldn't be a fair bet. They don't want the C61K mini back because the Gemini is their preferred path forward. They are replacing C61Ks with Geminis, and the C61Ks aren't worth the shipping costs to retrieve them.

People who binge watch like that feature, where it automatically goes to the next episode. All you have to do is hit exit at the end of an episode to stop it.

I can't say for sure, because I have never seen those other options, but I think it is a similar theme. Many of the displays will be very familiar to DIRECTV satellite customers, the menu functions and layout will be different. My non-techie wife has had no problem adapting to it, but she...

When it is released, it will be for all Genies and their clients, including the Gemini. The Gemini version has more menu options. The release will be later than expected originally. One test market will probably get it around the end of July, the rest in August after the Olympics. The...

They are fully restored now.

The signal from 103ca TPN 15 is at zero! That transponder is either on D12 or D15 (we can't be positive which). Today it is supposed to be carrying: 208 ESPNUHD 618 FS2HD 640 MASNHD 233 GSNHD 692 BSWSTHD With SignalSaver the first 4 all switch to Internet streaming. BSWSTHD...

Possibilities that: come to mind for a "Space Event": a Meteorite Debris (Space Junk) Thruster malfunction Power system malfunction Perhaps a need to meneuver out of position to avoid one of the first two. If there was some sort of collision, these satellites have a lot of redundancy and...

On the 99s display, TPN numbers 1 to 8 are spot beams from D14. TPNs 15 to 24 are spot beams from D11. They only show transponders that your receiver can lock onto. It searches through all the TIDS using a given TPN number, and reports the frst one it can lock onto. Each TID...

If I hadn't been told about it, I would never have noticed. Nothing that I normally watch was affected.

My 1on channel 38, (Greenville- New Bern, NC DMA) is back. That was the only local channel we had on a D11s spotbeam.

They never have activated the RB transponders at 103, But there are still full strength signals from eleven 99cr (reverse band) transponders, and they are licensed by the FCC.

Any LNB replacement or new installation in the past few years were reverse band capable. But that doesn't get everyone.

Easily is a relative term. Yes, there would be a lot of scrambling by engineers and technicians to do that, and it wouldn't happen real quick, but it can be done. technically, without launching another satellite.

Only "Some" customers noticed. The Signal Saver switch to streaming wouldn't even be notice by lots of customers. And if the National channels you watch aren't on 99cb, then you wouldn't notice. Local channel loss is much more noticable. My local ION station is gone, but I wouldn't notice...

DirecTV has satellites at 99 and 103 with National coverage transponders on board that transmit on frequencies used for uplinks to the normal Ku band transponders. The reverse band transponders use Ka band uplinks. They used the ones at 99W for a while while transitioning off the Spaceways...

I sure hope it is fixable, there is no way to replace those spot beam transponders with any satellite in orbit, except possibly D10, but they quit using it for spot beams years ago after some sort of "anomaly" occurred. D12 picked up D11's spot beam duties then, leaving no other satellite...

As of about 3am (EST) on 2/27/2024 DirecTV Satellite D11 at 99W is off the air. This includes roughly 84 National channels and hundreds of local channels on spot beams. Internet connected Genies are using the Signalsaver feature to switch to streaming versions of those channels, but not all...

What model is the "old HD receiver"? Unless your HR54 has been configured as a "headless server", it looks like you are paying for three receivers. The HR54 normally can provide output to a TV. The HR54 would definitely replace the old receiver, but you may have to reconnect the coax at...

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...
