    Fox Weather First on channel 363 is live as the first streaming channel available directly off the Guide on Genie servers and their clients. I don't know how that will work on HR24s, etc. This is the first activation of the APG entries that had no TID or PID. The weekly analysis runs...

    We plan to do a new APG data collection and analysis at 1 pm ET Sunday, and Gary will create a new TPN map from the data. We scheduled that for the busy NFL weekend. It will also show all of the Disney related channel restorations.

    Doctor J is om vacation, and I am filling in for him for a while. I can grab the data anytime you guys feel like it, if you give me some notice. I am not enough of a NFL fan to make these decisions on my own. Gary, since you would process the data into a TPN map, you tell me when to...

    I ran an extra data capture today about 4pm ET to look at what channels were affected by the Disney dispute. Here is the Change Analysis. Some of the changes are just normal sports/cinema remappings because of the afternoon data capture.

    That's the way its gone. I didn't really miss the station. I looked to see if there was a way to stream it at a reasonable cost, but no. I'm not going to get it OTA. The transmitter is around 100 miles away, on the other side of several mountains.

    I noticed yesterday that my local Mission Broadcasting FOX station was no longer in the guide (it was only a slate.).

    Pixelation ch 642

    That's not a channel I watch, but I do have Sports Pack, so I can receive it. I see the "pixelation", or whatever the problem is. I could not correlate it to sudden changes in the scene or a lot of motion every time. That would be a symptom of inadequate bandwidth. It seems more...

    Note that the spot beam tpngrid has been updated this week. Each transponder has the names of the primary DMAs for the chennels on that TID. Previously I was only doing that for the Ku band transponders.

    I an not sure that those multicast addresses are correctly labelled "UDP". That may be an assumption that we made and expressed to the guy who writes the APG binary decoding software. They are definitely IP multicast adrresses. But DirecTV could be using its own DIRECTV specific propietary...

    UDP (User Datagram Prorcol) is one of many internet protocols. HTTP, HTTPS, POP, RIP, and may others are other Internet protocols (IP). UDP Is used for straming data without checking for successful packet reception. The Addresses in the UDP fields of the APG all have addresses assigned to...

    It does make sense to keep D9S hanging around for a while if they can, rather than throwing the satellite away before absolutely necessary. I think that is why they are keeping D8 at 119 also.

    Slice, you are right! Thank you for correcting me. I somehow forgot about the 10 National Beam transponders on D9S that were formerly in use. Early FCC filing documents hint that it could possibly deploy 13 National beam transponders on D9S. All of the transponders on D9S are shut down...

    D9S could serve as a temporary band aid if T16 were to catastrophically fail. The more long term solution to such a failure would be to move D8 back to 101W. When D8's license was extended to June 2025, DirecTV said that they expected to file another extension in 2025, and expect that D8...

    Thank you, Nelson61 and KylL416. I just noticed the FCC filing SAT-MOD-20240607-00126, and found that you have already discovered it. This was unexpected, I was looking for a filing to dispose of D9s to a graveyard orbit. DirecTV thinks they can keep D9S in an inclined orbit at 101 until...
