Uplink computer stuck for a while? Or is Dish working night and day now on the non sports updates? Odd to see these happen at night vs their usual mid day.

 

[Juan]

I think the uplink pc overheated yesterday

It wasn't stuck... look at the time frame at the top of the report.

Not sure what to make out of these renumbers of locals? Possibly something dealing with E14 adding more markets so they can bring in the distants? I never heard if that was passed or not though.

 

[JohnH]

Possibly some affiliation change realignments.

 

[Mr Tony]

thats what it looks like. I'll use Minneapolis as example

8573(29) - WFTC(Minneapolis, MN-MY) - EchoStar10 110W TP 04 Spotbeam 28 renamed to KMSP(9) (Minneapolis, MN-FOX) (A) (H)
8575(9) - KMSP(Minneapolis, MN-FOX) - EchoStar10 110W TP 04 Spotbeam 28 renamed to WFTC(29) (Minneapolis, MN-MY) (A) (H)

Dish likes to put the locals in order
ABC
CBS
NBC
FOX
CW
MY
PBS
other

Well at the time 8573 was Fox (WFTC) and 8575 was UPN (KMSP). That changed ...holy crap...8 years ago!! KMSP went Fox and WFTC went UPN at the time. So the 8000's locals always went for us
ABC
CBS
NBC
UPN
CW
FOX

So I guess 8 years later Dish did some housekeeping

 

[stone phillips420]

no if they could correct psip data, all my boxes have been hooked to antenna for awhile ie 722k 9-1 is fox and 9-2 is mytv and all boxes hooked to antenna for a while reflect that. these boxes show correct 9 and 29 listing for msp.

fastforward 922 just installed antenna works but 9-1 is fox 9-2 fox, where as 9-2 should be mytv. channel 29 on 922 -1 -2 both mytv

dish get your crap together and send correct data, the digital switch was awhile ago.

but based on them finally changing msp switch, many moons ago maybe ill have it soon(hopefully within my lifetime)

 

[Mr Tony]

That is correct how its showing

After the digital conversion folks were complaining that 9 was hard to pick up since it went back to 9 (from 26). So KMSP actually split the signal to both stations

digital 9 has 9-1 (Fox HD) and 29-2 (My SD)
digital 29 has 29-1 (My HD) and 9-2 (Fox SD)

this helps folks with rabbit ears get 9 in since its on UHF...happened in November

KMSP/FOX 9 and WFTC/My 29 (Minneapolis) have made a change that could help viewers having difficulty receiving KMSP since the station moved from digital channel 26 to 9 in June. Each station had previously carried both an HD feed and SD feed; the two stations now have swapped their SD feeds, which now remap to the other channel number. So, WFTC continues to carry its HD programming on 29.1, while a WFTC subchannel carries KMSP-SD, which remaps to 9.2, and vice-versa for KMSP. Many receivers will update automatically without the viewer's knowledge, but some older receivers may need to be rescanned to receive 9.2 and 29.2.

unless I'm confusing what you're saying

yes but my antenna and guide reflects correctly on all cept new 922.
922 right now on msp fox is access hollywood
well 9-1 guide and channel correct access hollywood
9-2 guide correct maury but channel showing access hollywood
29-1 guide and channel correct maury
29-2 guide correct access hollywood but showing maury
this only happens on 922 all other ota devices hooked up for awhile.

Yep I noticed at least on some of the HD numbering they like to use the same last number for FOX, CBS, etc.

The Springfield WICS and Decatur WAND affiliation swap was years ago as well. I guess someone finally noticed the order needed changing.

 

[Mr Tony]

922 right now on msp fox is access hollywood
well 9-1 guide and channel correct access hollywood
9-2 guide correct maury but channel showing access hollywood
29-1 guide and channel correct maury
29-2 guide correct access hollywood but showing maury
this only happens on 922 all other ota devices hooked up for awhile.

OK so the guide is showing wrong because 9-1 & 9-2 have the same program (and should show the same guide info) and 29-1 & 29-2 have the same program.

 

[compubit1]

It looks like Sherman-Denison-Ada, Lafayette, and Dothan/Ozark are putting in spaces for missing nets. Beaumont played musical affiliates at the first of '09.

Also, WKEF/22 in Dayton is ABC, WDTN/2 is NBC (uplink has both as NBC) - They were opposite networks several years ago, but have long since switched.

Sherman/Ada is getting a ABC affiliate Monday via KTEN-DT3 (NBC)

On May 9, 2010, the station will convert its third digital subchannel from a doppler radar image to a channel that will operate as the area's ABC affiliate which will be known on-air as ABC Texoma.

only 480i though

 

[mike123abc]

Egads (I say even though I have a second residence in Sherman/Denison/Ada market), what are they going to do to PQ with 2 HD channels and one 480i network on the same channel?

The local station must be raking it in with 3 networks in one now.

 

[Mr Tony]

Mike
I thought only NBC was HD and the other 2 are (or in ABC case will be) 480i SD?

yeah you got 6 networks on 2 stations...damn!

I have cable in Ardmore, I do not know if the cable feed is different from the OTA one. My other location Wichita Falls (85 miles away), has all 4 networks in HD each on their own OTA channel, they have some SD subchannels.

Cable feeds in Ardmore: HD ABC from OKC, SD ABC from Dallas. CBS/FOX/NBC HD are local. SD NBC & CBS is local and OKC.

I bet Dish would love to have significantly viewd here.

 

[stone phillips420]

OK so the guide is showing wrong because 9-1 & 9-2 have the same program (and should show the same guide info) and 29-1 & 29-2 have the same program.

yes but only on 922 installed 4/28 as other boxes have been hooked up for awhile.

Strangeness

Channel Additions:
6425(49) - KPDX [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar10 110W TP 29 Spotbeam 44 (NA)(Vancouver, WA-MY)

So, the above hasn't happened. And 49 is still KPDX and 12 is still KPTV (FOX)????
