    BEV to BEV-HD Transition questions

    Well, I've tried everything -- MPEG2CUT2, HDTV2MPEG, MPEG2REPAIR, Womble Video Wizard, VideoReDo and nothing yields acceptable results. I think I'll give up until things change...if ever. Thanks again for your help.

    BEV to BEV-HD Transition questions

    No, I'm using it to create a compliant HD-DVD. There's a lengthy thread about how to do this at the AVSForums site. I've had great success with it for the past year -- no problems at all until recently. I thought something might have changed with the stream, which you confimedin your earlier...

    BEV to BEV-HD Transition questions

    Diogen, I tried running MPEG2CUT2 and it still get a message from ULead MovieMaker5 that says the MPEG is incompatible. I've tried everything I can think of. Notwithstanding sync issues, I can't even get the program to process the file. Up until a month or so ago, I was able to author HD-DVDs...

    BEV to BEV-HD Transition questions

    Thanks, Diogen! I've been using VideoReDo's quick fix, which used to be very effective. But as I said, in recent weeks, it rarely seems to render a file that can be authored. I'll give MPEG2CUT2 a try and let you know what happens.

    BEV to BEV-HD Transition questions

    Thanks for the reply, Diogen. The only way I've been able to get ULead MovieMaker to accept my Expressvu HD MPEGs recently is to run it through Womble's GOP Fixer first. Unfortunately, as you said, there are all sorts of sync issues, which manifest themselves as momentary video freezes --...

    BEV to BEV-HD Transition questions

    Diogen, would this explain why I'm having frequent "MPEG incompatible" error messages when trying to author HD-DVDs from my modified (169time) receiver? I never used to have problems until the past month or so.

    ExpressVu Help in SoCal

    If you do a search, you will see there are a number of posts regarding this issue. Simply, there are two satellites at 91 degrees, one of which has a beam that does not reach the southern US. The result is there are a number channels that cannot be received in Los Angeles and other southern...

    Expressvu HD Channels Back on in Southern Cal

    Never mind. Sadly, everything went back to the way it was by the time I got home from work this evening. Oh, well...

    Expressvu HD Channels Back on in Southern Cal

    As of last night, many of Expressvu's HD channels were available again in the Los Angeles area. A quick scan with my FTA receiver indicated that all four networks for each coast were available, along with CTV-East. I'm sure there others, but it was late when I checked. As far as I could tell...

    Lost Channels - Transponders with no signal

    I would not recommend a larger dish. I did exactly that when the shifting first began -- I bought a 90cm and a nice Invacom LNB and spent no small amount of time setting it up. It brought back my missing HD signals -- for about two weeks. Then Expressvu shifted the signal even further north...

    Telesat junkyard moves approved

    What will this mean for signal strengths in the Southern US (Los Angeles)? Will this further reduce the number of channels available down here?

    Bell ExpressVU Uplink Report - 12/08/2006 (Big shuffle on 82W again)

    It just seems to make sense to me that if Bell sees a need to reinforce signal strength to its core customers everywhere in Canada (not in the US), that this need would apply to all channels equally? Isn't there an equal need to strengthen CBC-HD as much as a PPV-HD channel? So why not assign...

    Bell ExpressVU Uplink Report - 12/08/2006 (Big shuffle on 82W again)

    I thought I heard, once upon a time, that Bell was going to launch replacement birds. I would be willing to hang in there if I thought it was imminent, but is it true that the earliest this will happen is 2008? I'm really bummed out, as I love my 9200. But it's going up for sale as soon as...

    Bell ExpressVU Uplink Report - 12/08/2006 (Big shuffle on 82W again)

    No, Digiblur, that's the irony for those of us down here. We were fine when there was just one satellite at 91 and one at 82. It's when Bell tried to help everyone out with the additional satellites that we lost our channels. What really ticked me off was they could just as easily have made...

    Bell ExpressVU Uplink Report - 12/08/2006 (Big shuffle on 82W again)

    I've posted re this topic on other threads. It's the same old problem everybody in the southwest US has with the crappy Directv satellite. I'm lazy and don't feel like going through the Lyngsat chart again, but basically, it's the odd transponders on 82 from the Dirctv bird -- #s 1, 5, 7, 9...

    Bell ExpressVU Uplink Report - 12/08/2006 (Big shuffle on 82W again)

    I'm in Los Angeles and can report that ABC-HD Boston is gone as of a couple days ago. Also, CBS-HD Seattle disappeared, as did Global-HD. That leaves those of us in the southwest US with CBS, NBC and FOX Boston in HD, and only ABC-HD of the four major networks from Seattle. Also, of the major...

    can you get Nimiq2 82W in Los angeles?

    I live in LA and can tell you that I'm missing a bunch of HD channels from 82 -- TSN-HD, SPN-HD, CTVHD-E, CTVHD-W, CityHD, NBCHD-W, FOXHD-W, plus a few more. I would not recommend it to anyone in California. The only reason I've kept my subscription is because I have a 9200, which I love...

    BEV 82W HD Transponders - Satellites

    Signal strength on 82 in Los Angeles have been the same for quite a few months. No changes I've noticed since transponders 5 & 9, which were marginal with a 90cm dish, vanished off the signal meter completely...

    Not really. Everything's the same in Los Angeles, it seems. :(

    SC Question

    I'm close to switching to Starchoice because I've lost a number of HD channels from Bell. I'm in Los Angeles -- can I get away with 60cm here? And either with the 60cm or 75, can I mount it on a wall, as I have with my Dish1000-type dishes? Or is so heavy that I need a special, reinforced...

    Can Portland Oregon receive Bell Expressvu signal?

    As Emily Litella used to say, "Never mind!" It appears that Bell's resurrection of 92 for those of us in the Southern reaches was short lived. Apparently it lasted all of one or two days. As of this morning, everything was back to the crummy state it was in before. Sorry for the brief...

    Can Portland Oregon receive Bell Expressvu signal?

    As of tonight all the transponders on 92 can be received in Los Angeles once again. I don't know how long this will last, but it's nice to be able to get all the channels I pay for, once more. Now if they can only restore all the HD channels on 82, all will be right in the universe again.

    Oops they did it again....

    Signal strengths on many even transponders on 82, including 28 & 30 (I'm doing this by memory as I'm still at work) are right around 70 in Los Angeles. And that's with a 90 cm dish! I think these signals have definitely dropped in strength relatively recently, as I dimly recall these were...
