    Quetzsat 1 Successfully Launched!

    Many people was hoping that this satellite would bring more channels and packaging options in Dish Mexico, but it seems that they've found a cash cow and don't have the need to offer something better. 16 HD channels for 180 pesos :mad: what do you think?

    Quetzsat 1 Successfully Launched!

    So it seems to me that there's still a long wait for quetzsat-1 to move to 77w, if it ever does at all

    Quetzsat 1 Successfully Launched!

    Once I asked Then nelson replied But then again... I still can't understand this. What's the real advantage? the two beam maps look very, very similar, so what's the point of having two beams?

    Quetzsat 1 Successfully Launched!

    Nobody ever answer my silly questions XD but here I go again XD Does this means then that the mexican service with 8 transponders will count with twice the capacity which it has today?

    OMG :eek: I'm afraid of misunderstanding this (you know english is not my first language) are you saying they would offer same or similar programming packages on both sides of the border?

    Quetzsat 1 Successfully Launched!

    One thing called my attention now, Am I misunderstanding these maps or the same beams cover both United States and Mexico? and if it does, why?

    Quetzsat 1 Successfully Launched!

    Does this means that Dish Mexico won't be able to increase its current available space, no new HD for us? :rolleyes::(:mad:

    The birds on 77W

    I was wondering, is the e4 still in use? well, now is almost 1 year since e1 arrived to 77w, for nothing? I'm asking because lately some channels freeze, not very often but more than you would like, signal strength is good, between 58 and 65, so the only reason i can think of why is it happening...

    What's uplinked to 77w for Mexico Service?

    Would somebody please tell me what's on 77w for Mexico Service? http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dishmexico.html All I want to know is if the channels 107, 114 (or 113) and 140 are still there, also I would like to know if there's any TMP channels (sometimes named as DMT too) I hope I'm not...

    Dish Mexico: a success history

    Where can I find more information about that satellite at 86.5W? I only knew about Quetzsat 1 at 77W Thanks :) edit I found this thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/150990-upcoming-dish-satellite-launches.html If you have other sources for further information I would...

    Dish Mexico: a success history

    It's been said that Azteca 7, 13 and 40 will be included in early 2010, the channels are already uplinked. Televisa ask for US$1.96 plus taxes per suscriber for a package of 14 channels (most of them are Bullsh!t, my opinion) including their OTA, too expensive to keep the low cost phylosophy...

    Dish Mexico: a success history

    Hey guys, I just wanted to share this with you A year ago (November 24th, 2008) Dish Mexico, a joint venture between Echostar and MVS was launched and now has over one million suscribers, a growth without precedents in mexican paid tv industry. Sky, its DTH competitor has 1.8 million suscribers...

    uplink channels to test...

    to test what? and how long it takes? a "DMT" or "TMP" channel has less chances to be included soon than other identified with its name?

    Hey guys, fill the blanks! (channels per transponder)

    Thanks I though that MPEG2 encoding was used for SD only, "You lear something new every day" :D But it's technically possible, isn't it? here's one of the reasons why I'm asking, Dish Mexico (the Echostar-MVS joint venture, not the package) is using 311 and 322 receivers wich as far as i...

    Hey guys, fill the blanks! (channels per transponder)

    One transponder is able to carry ____ channels with: QPSK-MPEG2 QPSK-MPEG4-SD QPSK-MPEG4-HD 8PSK-MPEG2 8PSK-MPEG4-SD 8PSK-MPEG4-HD theorically, even if some of these combinations were never used. thanks :D

    HD, 8PSK?

    Oh wait, then I misunderstood this part: Does it mean that satellites are designed for a specific orbital location? then birds at 77w can't use 8PSK because both were moved from another one and they aren't oriented properly?

    HD, 8PSK?

    Let me put it in my words to see if I got it. In this kind of modulation, error-rate is too high that you need a strong signal wich old satellites are not designed to deal with, you could use 8PSK but the signal would be so weak that you would have to use a big dish, right? I'm assuming that's...
