    ESPN Interactive Zone

    New app... It appears as though there is now a replacement for the defunct Sporting News Interactive..., and it comes from none other than ESPN. It's located at iTV (100) > Sports (4) > ESPN Interactive (1). It's okay, IMO, but it could have more detailed stories, box scores, and a more...

    Weather Channel now has direct local weather link!

    Well, for all what we know, this new "update" could be much better than that. Anyway, on my 522, I got in the last few days bumped up from L2.17 to L2.61, and now, strangely, clicking the banner redirects me (when I tried it) to DishGames. Hmm...

    Weather Channel now has direct local weather link!

    *bump* I noticed while browsing ch100, that a Weather Channel banner appears every now and then at the top right-hand corner, saying "Interact With Your Weather Now!" ... press select here sort of thing. I thought it would take me to the current app, but alas, when I selected it, it took a good...

    Any possible date yet for local on the 8's?

    Any possible date yet for local on the 8's?

    Eh, no... Look what Stew said: An EXACT duplicate of what already available, just faster to load, that's all. And it had a slideshow, chances are they'd be testing this ON THE 8's... but since they aren't, perhaps they are saving something different for that slot...:)

    Sudden Lost of Sat Signal on 119 and 129

    By the way, E*'s web site seems to be either down or flooded with users because I can't get in...

    110 is also down here in SoCal (error 015), in addition to 119 and 129.

    Weather Channel now has direct local weather link!

    From: "First Look: The New Weather Channel Interactive" Here's the whole thing, while we're at it: Link to the offical thread concerning it (over 60 pages!): http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/78179-first-look-new-weather-channel-interactive-60.html#post938527 ----------- That's...

    Weather Channel now has direct local weather link!

    Well, I suppose it's nice to know that they haven't quite given up on it. (No pop-ups on my 522.)

    Any possible date yet for local on the 8's?

    More like the whole channel is lame without it. :( They're probably thinking (assuming THEY've given up), "Well they already have this half-crappy (sorry) app on Channel 100. Most have a computer, anyway, so... And, oh yeah, if a tornado is out and about, the local channels will be on with...

    Local Channels/PBS

    PBSXD is, simply put, the national PBS feed. Back then, years ago, E* did not carry local PBS stations and instead gave everyone ONE feed. This was it. It airs a variety of PBS programs. Now they only let you see it when there is no local PBS feed available in your market. After some research...

    Weather on the 8's live

    ...because, HD is more of a priority to them, it drives in more $$$. Gotta add more HD; in fact, I believe some HD channels got added today. Even if there is MORE than enough room for more SD feeds. Be (A) the HD leader, or (B) be the satellite provider to get Tornado Warnings to viewers the...

    Weather on the 8's live

    Yes, it would save bandwidth but it would be very complicated to do. The software, the this, the that, which is why not much has been shown. Something tells me Scott might know something he shouldn't...

    Weather on the 8's live

    Agreed. But even then E* has their ways... I mentioned earlier that the FCC LAW says it's only required for National Activations of EAS (when the country is about to be blown up and such). All local alerts are optional, unless of course local laws supersede that. I can't see why it would be THAT...

    Weather on the 8's live

    Can you describe it a little more in depth? Sounds neat, polls and voting coming to iTV. Who knows, FOX might be next! :)

    Weather on the 8's live

    *bump* Slightly off-topic, but relevant, nonetheless. I've noticed that CNN now has an interactive trigger to go to their iTV app. It's a continuous trigger, btw, not just every 10 min... That makes channels 117, 200, and 405 wired for press-select-iTV. It took almost no time for TV Guide to...

    Cnn

    Now if only they could get rid of the text on the button, to make it a little less disturbing when you don't feel like pressing it at the moment. I agree, a nice replacement to the now defunct Sporting News app. Just think, a small button/icon (without the banner, like on TVGuide ch right now)...

    Other than a little nationwide testing in which they only tested the video (switched to black screen w/ white static text at the top) http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/99280-dish-network-eas-testing-tuesday.html?highlight=EAS

    cfl channel with radar loop

    My thoughts exactly! Try Doppler for individual county radar maps and loops. For a LIVE look, click Livestream Of Early Warning Doppler 9 HD - Video - WFTV Orlando! A much better solution, however, is to sitck your hand out the window and look to see which way the clouds are moving. It's an...
