Say what? I don't think anybody has reported seeing any signals that couldn't still be coming from E5. Certainly nobody but hackers can see those n/a channels even if they did exist.

Quite right. The currently latest uplink report shows some 44 HD channels (locals) uplinked to Ciel 2, all listed as "NA" (not available). That's a start...;)

Nothing is uplinked to the new satellite yet. Just data tables are getting ready for the bird when they do turn it on.

However with that said I am hearing they have a few days testing before they start transfering the load to the new bird. :)

Thanks Scott, always glad to hear the latest! Should one assume a few days is less than 4?

Thanks again,

Well, I wouldn't say so. Using TSReader you could get pretty good understanding what's going on - when Digi had time he did some checks on those channels.
 

Turbo HD only packages for existing?
