What does "changed package flags" mean for a local channel? I thought everybody got locals now? I don't remember ever seeing that notation on a local channel before. And what are these channels in the 6000s for anyway? I don't see any mapdown numbers on them like there normally would be for a local channel.

 

[Mr Tony]

Those moved to 61.5 and these are probably just slates telling people to upgrade to EA

or possibly a zip code or something changed as to what locals it gets

Speaking of slates and channels moving to 61.5, why do I have these 4 new channels duplicated on 77 after they were moved to 61.5? The programming on both 61.5 and 77 are the same.

6220 WTAE Pittsburgh, PA - ABC MPEG4 HD 77°W 02 QPSK TURBO CODED (5/6) ConUS beam Available
6221 KDKA Pittsburgh, PA - CBS MPEG4 HD 77°W 02 QPSK TURBO CODED (5/6) ConUS beam Available
6222 WPXI Pittsburgh, PA - NBC MPEG4 HD 77°W 02 QPSK TURBO CODED (5/6) ConUS beam Available
6223 WPGH Pittsburgh, PA - FOX MPEG4 HD 77°W 02 QPSK TURBO CODED (5/6) ConUS beam Available

 

[Mr Tony]

the ones on 77W are warnings telling folks to upgrade to EA

what does the guide say when you are on one of those channels and hit "info"

 

[dare2be]

They are identical to the 61.5 channels. Guide is the same, programming is the same. I now have another set of channels to skip duplicate dish pass timers from.

Stranger still, the CBS local (KDKA) for Pittsburgh on 61.5W (6478) is showing the Bills/NE game while on 77W 6221 (KDKA) it is showing the Jets/Dolphins game. Both channels' guide is showing Jets/Dolphins. Weird.
