Thought this might be interesting/helpful to people...list of national HD TMP channels in the uplink tables as of this morning. I copied this for a OneNote table, so it didn't quite format right...basically, the first column is the TMP # (or letter), the second is the channel # (doesn't mean much), and then which birds are carrying this channel.

E 9472 129
20 9428 110
21 9430 110
22 9445 110
23 9447 110
24 9448 110
25 9475 110
26 9475 110
27
28
29
30 4800 110 61.5
31 4801 110 61.5
32 4802 110 61.5
33 4803 129 61.5
34 4804 129 61.5
35 4805 129 61.5
36 4806 129
37 4807 129
38 4808 129 61.5
39 4809 129 61.5
40 4810 129 61.5
41 4811 129 61.5
42 4812 129 61.5
43 4813 129 61.5
44 4814 129 61.5
45 4815 129
46 4816 129 77
47 4817 129 77
48 4818 129 61.5
49 4819 129 61.5
50 4820 129 61.5
51 4821 129 61.5
52 4822 129 61.5
53 4823 129 61.5
54 4824 129 61.5
55 4825 129 61.5
56 4826 129 61.5
57 4827 129 61.5

Summary...if Ciel-2 was already in place and ready to go, there would be 36 HD channels available to light up to people with 110/119/129 setups. But only 30 are available to 61.5/110/119, and only 25 for Eastern Arc. And to make it more confusing, there are only 23 available to all 3.

I also see some potential overloading on a couple of the 110 transponders, due to some "DRM" channels showing on The List as unavailable. I don't know what these are supposed to be. If you ignore the DRM channels, they seem to be loaded properly.

This is all assuming that these channel #s mean anything.

So- 23 channels coming soon? Maybe? Eh...whatever. Here are the numbers, go nuts.

EDIT- Sorry, they really didn't format well. It looks perfectly readable in the edit window.

So, if I understand this right, this could be a sign even more national HD is coming soon on Dish Network? I am happy with what we've received, but I wouldn't object to AMC HD or Wealth TV HD.

I wouldn't even object to QVC HD. They've put enough halfway decent channels on this year that they've earned the right to put one or two that brings 'em in a little revenue.

IIRC, they have not bothered to map TMPs to 53xx (Dish Latino HD) until they are close to making them avaliable (in fact, in the past, sometimes the mapping to 53xx occurred a few hours or days after the channels were made available).

The recent addition of SpikeHD and FxHD despite that Charlie Chat comment about the channels not being up for contract renewal yet, implies that the new Programming team is taking a different tact in negotiations, a tact that is resonating more with the negotiators on the other end of the table. So, totally a guess - but I would think that the missing Rainbow channels is a good guess.

PS A good addition to the chart would be an asterisk for channels that are using enough bandwidth for video.

I hope so. They announced two Rainbow channels coming two springs ago: AMC and IFC. I don't know what the other Rainbow channels might be.

JohnH is reporting that there is enough bandwidth being used for video but all of the channels appear to be using the same video feed...whatever it is.

Really ? Someone smocking too much :D

See real picture of the TMP channels at 61.5W tp32 and 31.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Pissed off at the crappy healthcare costs

My health Insurance renewal for 2027 just came in. Going from $827 a month to $1,187 a month. Deductible going up a $1k to $9,350. Max out of pocket also going up $1k to $11,000. Doctor co-pay of $40. Urgent Care co-pay $50. ER 50% coinsurance after deductible. That's all in network. Out of network is double, should it be needed.

Have to think about this. I'm really tempted to just go without now. I only go to the doctor once or twice a year. I pay out of pocket for Tirzepitide and can do without the Rosuvastatin (crestor) now. Really tired of spending over $10k a year and getting nothing out of it.

After years with Blue Cross I switched last year to Ambetter as my Blue Cross premium was going from $1200 to $1800 for a Silver plan and the Bronze plan was still going to be $1300 at BCBS. Ambetter was $827 for the same coverage with a Bronze plan. Didn't think it would jump this much so soon.

I'm guessing a Silver plan is probably over $2,000 a month for 2027.

I didn't start it as a political statement and have no interest in the political BS of this country. Everyone wants to make everything political nowadays. This was just my rant over the outrageous increase in my premiums and how unaffordable healthcare is becoming to the average person here.

admin can close or delete it if they don't want here.

There are no dues to be paid to be in the Pit. You just have to use the password which is clearly shown when you try to log in to it.

I have Dish Hopper and Hopper Plus and also have Alexa Echo. I link the Alex skill to Dish and it asks me to enter the pairing code shown on the TV. I go into Dish Settings and there is no Alexa shown. Not sure what to do.

Understood. But here's the rub - Google Assistant setup is ALSO missing from the Hopper Plus setup. I'm a paraplegic.and need to use voice controls as much as possible but I can't press a button on the remote to activate Google Assistant. I prefer ALEXA (or ALEXA+) but I have one older google device and will go that route IF they make it available. BTW calling Dish Customer Service is no help- they just say they have no info on if/when there will be an update.

Tell Alexa verbally what to do.

What is the purpose of connecting Alexa and the H3?
I stand up from my chair with my glass in one hand and my plate in the other, when a story I really want to hear comes on the TV. So I say, "Alexa, pause DISH", and it waits for me to return from the kitchen, at which time I say, "Alexa, resume DISH".

Or maybe, when I return with a full glass in one hand and a new plate in the other, I realize I forgot to pause to hear this good story from its start. So I say, "Alexa, skip DISH backwards 3 minutes", and I still get to catch the whole story.

I use this every day. Or until I acquire a third hand.
