Has AMC shut the analog signal off? I have noticed it has been freezing the last few days.

It's in Zero Key mode. I don't have a subscription, but it comes in fine here.

According to the gal I talked to at NPS this past Saturday, AMC in analog will be available until sometime in December. She didn't know if it would be available as part of their digital pkg or not.

AMC and MTV
On September 26, 2006, NPS learned that we will be able to re-uplink AMC and MTV and bring back the channels in digital format. No further details are known at this time, but our goal is to have this completed by October 1, 2006.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I had to do the reboot for the mapping on the 920, but it's there now. Thanks again.

Lyngsat shows that the analog AMC signal on Galaxy 15 Transponder 1 has been replaced by an mpeg2/dvb mux. Unfortunately it's encrypted with PowerVu. IFC and Women's Entertainment is also listed. So I guess we can expect the analog IFC and WE on Galaxy 11 to disappear in the near future also.

WE (GB-12) and IFC (GB-14), will be gone from analog on November 30, 2006

Heck I just wish I could win an ebay auction for a 922, would hate to pay $500 for it and this time.

Is there a lot ITC on 4dtv? (to make it worth the investment)

I know it's a for you big dish folks, but the death of analog is for us HD fans that are waiting for more cable channels to finally upgrade to HD.

Its well worth the investment for a 4DTV 922 receiver. i got mine new From Nps for a lot less than 500 dollars.

Yes it is well worth it, having a big dish without 4dtv is like having a car without wheels.

Skyvision and NPS both have great deals on brand new dsr 922's.

There is very little ITC on the 4dtv. Most of the ITC channels require that the 4dtv be authorized before they can be received. If you buy a new 4dtv, you may need to subscribe to some programming to get the receiver authorized. Most used receivers will have been authorized by previous owners. The 4dtv is best if you are looking to subscribe to programming packages. Unlike FTA mpeg2/dvb, there are few if any wildfeeds on the 4dtv.
