Channel 5710 Test HD???

[JayPSU]

What is this channel? I'm home for lunch and I see some wedding show on this "test" channel in my HD section, channel 5710. Anyone know what's the deal?

Edit: The channel is Discovery Theater HD. Why is that here?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Here is an interesting hypothesis..

Could they be close to an agreement for B10 network? which goes live in a couple of days... and are already testing a spot to put it, if and when they come to an agreement?

Bingo!

That would be a nice feather for Charlie too.. getting the HD up and running before D* on B10, and a nice bonus for all of us too.. . but i will not beleive until i see it posted on the home page

Why would it be up on the 5700 range of channels?

 

[BigTimMN]

What else is around that area?

 

[digiblur]

That test channel is nothing but a mirror of DiscoveryHD theater. It's not another stream of HD testing. Sorry guys...

Has anybody noticed the Test Channel? I forgot the channel number, i noticed the channel this morning. Has this been noticed before? Anybody has an idea what it is about?

 

[alexgmny]

Oh...the channel shows....Discovery HD Theater, but it is listed as "TEST"

 

[bowens]

Yeah, we've noticed it. I don't think anybody is sure what it is there for.
