Classic Arts @ 97W Analog

[Mr Tony]

Thanks for the update!

The Classic Arts Showcase analog and DVB signals on Galaxy 12 are gone now. Transponder 5 is currently empty.

always sad when an analog channel goes bye bye

As they had announced a month ago, they only changed satellites, they're now at tp 6 of 97°W (they had for a month or so, the two locations hot, now, it's only their new place at G19).

Cheers!

but still I liked those analog channels on that low side of my arc

 

[Mr Tony]

true

Now we have analog channels on 3 adjacent sats and not on the west coast
97
99
101

Well... on the west sats i get at least 5 ITC channels on three adjacent satellites:

HSN, QVC @135°W;
EWTN, Inspirational Network @133°W;
CSPAN is ITC and The Weather Channel altough scrambled it still serves as a 'beacon', @ 131ºW.
Just as the scrambled ESPNs serve as a 'beacon' even if we can't watch what's on those channels @125ºW, altough there's at least one more ITC channel there.

So, at least for me, there's still ITC channels on the west arc.

On the middle for me (close to my true south) there are one or two ITC analog channels at one of those Aniks and a channel that from time to time pops up at Satmex5 when the Mexican President is gonna send a message to the republic, paired with the ocassional RAI feed and the clean PBS feed at 103ºW, at least 'blindly traveling' from East to West in analog is kinda easy.

Cheers!

Well, I for one was ecstatic when I saw that announcement on their page last month. 133W is partially obscured by a tree, meaning sparkly analog and NO digital. Now I can lock the digital most of the time, and the analog looks fantastic.

Actually, I still watch it on analog for the most part. Would be nice if they'd up the bitrate a little...

Looks like Classic Arts Showcase is moving again.
It's now also on Galaxy 17 Transponder 18 in Analog.
DVB feed is also there at 4075 V 3000.

 

[n8fq]

I can't imagine their affiliates enjoy chasing them all over the sky like this...

They have an explanation and apology on their homepage.

I'd prefer having it on 91W as there is a more variety on that sat digital wise
