Last night I was searching for any regular channels that I may have missed with the Sathawk. Does anyone get the Nebraska PBS on 89W? I get the H....vision with no problem....just not getting the other PBS on that bird. Perhaps they're real weak here. Thanks for any info....Blind
NET uses 2 transponders on that sat. One of these transponders has had the whole collection of channels in DCII mode. I can't remember exactly how many channels, but an HD channel, and a couple SD channels in a variety of formats (ie letterbox or plain), and Create, etc, and some channels they use for education. This hasn't changed.
The 2nd transponder has been used for DVB FTA transmissions. However this transponder has been used with at least 4 different SR values, and has had different content from time to time. For a while, this mux had virtually all the transponders found on the DCII transponder, but then, starting back with Olympic trials about 3 years ago, they started using this transponder for sending HD sporting events, and the channel was eventually named HuskerVision. For a while they used it for Univ of Nebraska sporting events and then would switch back to the multichannel mux when there weren't sporting events. But recently, they have been pretty much just the single Huskervision channel with either sporting events or the main NET PBS feed (at higher bitrate than the source PBS feed), although I've also seen their low SR SD feed up occasionally. I haven't seen the multi channel mux up for quite a while.
But basically, if you see Huskervision, the only other channels you'll find are the DCII channels. If the Huskervision ISN'T up, then you might find one of the other muxes up. I keep all 4 DVB SRs in my computer so I can quickly find whatever they have up.
