    Fox Business Channel Ch 359

    Dont forget that Fox is still the controlling shareholder in Directv. I doubt they will delay the HD version by two days - more likely is that we will get a test pattern on Weds 10th.

    So now dates for the next set of HD stations?

    I expect when Spike HD rolls out in Oct/Nov that they will have some HD content. All the UFC fights that are pay-per-view have a SD and HD broadcast so there is already some old fights they can show on the HD version.

    OTA Digital Channel Assignments

    Thanks for the info. Makes a lot of sense that the CBS and NBC LA and NY O&O stations would keep their low channel designations but use the VHF frequencies for other commercial purposes. :eureka Here is a reference to PSIP which I found: Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP)

    OTA Digital Channel Assignments

    Does anybody know what this will mean for some stations - for example in Los Angeles KCBS switches from Ch 2 to Ch 43, KNBC from 4 to 36. Does this mean that they will be known then by their new channel assignments - or will the TV tuner have a translation system that will enable you to punch in...

    DIRECTV10 Listed on Lyngsat

    I have been looking at the satellite tracking site LIVE REAL TIME SATELLITE AND SPACE SHUTTLE TRACKING since the launch and I am really confused with the track the satellite is taking. One hour it is at 22K miles high then it drops down to 5K, the speed goes from 3K to 15K mph, it is all over...

    Spotbeam Coverage Size

    I have read a few posts which stated that the size of the spotbeams for the new DIRECTV 10 satellite will be smaller than for the existing satellites. Is that correct - a function of the improved technology of the newer satellites, related to the Ka vs Ku broadcast frequency, or just a decision...

    HD DVR Price Drop?

    In the Wachovia Conference Call referenced by ScoBuck the D* CFO mentioned that they expect their costs for the HD DVR to drop from "north of $400" in the middle of this year to $300 by the end of this year. That could translate into a drop of perhaps $100 on the list price to lease the unit...

    I think I've got a bad AT9 lnb/dish... opinions please??

    Could be the cable is bent at a corner and it moves sometimes based on heat and maybe operator movement. My cable end is in the closet and sometimes I go in and touch the cable and the picture gets fuzzy. Could be the cable connectors in use - the new HD system requires the best connectors not...

    I Live in San Diego and want Hawaii Locals!

    Think about getting a Slingbox. If you have a house in Hawaii you can use the OTA or cable or satellite subscription there and control the channel switching from your house in San Diego. You would get your locals that way.
