Yeah except that the NHL season is over, and the NBA is in Finals which means Network broadcast, no RSNs. I don't see a Bandwidth saturation that would prevent the SNY HD from being transmitted.

Yeah kind of miffed. Called Tech Support to ask if Eng can open up the HD feed. :mad:

Yeah something's up with my box. It says try Channel Up or Down then back, and if I still have a problem to do reset with the Power button, but no "lost satellite signal". FYI I'm in DC, and being next to NY, the DC spotbeam doesn't have tp15.

What's the error/message you get when you tune to one of the NYC HD channels?

Aha! Thanks for the thread link. I also get low 30's for 17, 19, and 21. I actually get a 45 for tp15. Bizarre given that it seems I shouldn't get a signal. NoVA is between the NY and NC spotbeams, assuming that the NC spotbeam carries tp15 as well.

What do you have to tp 15? I'm in Northern VA as well, although 'moved' to NY. I get a lock for tp 15, but I'm wondering if we're under a different spotbeam area for tp 15 other than NY. I tried deciphering the Rainbow 1 spotbeam map on dbstalk, but 'Area 6' doesn't match up well on the map.

I'm at work, but that's why I have a Slingbox ;) I checked the guide and nothing yet.

I'm just throwing this out there, b/c I'm not in the Pub and this is really early to speculate too much, but couldn't we just use a modified Dish 500 to point at 62.5 and 72.7?

Don't forget that some of the Disc* shows are produced by British studios in 15x9 HD, so there will be some slight pillarboxing on those shows. I agree though, HD Theater tends to have better visual quality.

Huh, didn't think that few would be broadcasting at the same time, but now it makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Ok, maybe I just haven't done enough searching, but I don't get how broadcasting only the games is saving bandwidth. Are there channels that are being turned off while the games are on? Do other channels get output at a lower bitrate?

YES does not produce Away games in HD? I'm pretty sure I've seen YES-HD highlights when the Yankees are away, and I know I've seen highlights for FSN BA and Florida when the Giants and Marlins are playing away. My primary point is that if these two stations can financially sustain the cost of...

My understanding is that SNY-HD is not a 24/7 HD feed on E*, and this is probably why. If FSN Bay Area (Giants) and FSN Florida (Marlins?!) can do away games in HD, surely SNY, with its good ratings, can fork out the $$$.

Whatever happened to the new generation of PocketDish portables? Wasn't the initial speculation for a Holiday '06 release?

It sure does. I have the s-video out of my 622 connected to my slingbox, and it preserves the aspect ratio. As long as I tell the Slingbox to interpret the signal as widescreen, it looks fine.

Has anyone heard anything about SNY-HD? A little disappointed to not see it in the list.

That's exactly what I thought - at least some additional incentive to convince potential customers - I guess they're going on the awareness track. I came really close to buying the 4" when I got my 622, but the inability to transfer HD is what broke the deal. How can they call the 7" a...

I noticed the same thing too. Whenever I don't catch the Mets games on WPIX live, I usually watch/record the Encore feed on SNY later in the day (e.g. tonight at 7pm). Most of the time the PQ is better.

Thanks hokiecb, I'll wait until I get the bill and find out WTH happened.

Has the away games on SNY been in HD also? I'm sure it depends on what equipment they can get lined up in each away city.

yeah it's been gone for a while. Everytime I change something on my account I always make sure I still have the $9 superstation pkg and IHSP/DHP on my account in case a CSR tries to get sneaky or fumbles on their keyboard.

So I asked Dish to send a replacement for my flaky 2700 which was not tuning some channels. It's a leased rcvr from when I started the account, and have DHP. So they send a replacement 3700, I activate it, and everything is gravy. I check my recent activity and noticed that my plan went...

Is there an easy way to find out the ratings for the RSNs? Would they have used that to prioritize which RSNs to negotiate with first? I hope SNY is one of those first 11. Mets home games look great in SD, so in HD they probably look that much better.

ok I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
