The TPN map for today has been posted in Post #1. At Gary's request, I am filling in for him today, since he would not be available until very late tonight. It's a little earlier today because I am on the East Coast, while Gary is normally on the West Coast.

For Gemini boxes, there is a new ESPN channel on channel 210. It seems to just be a shortcut to the ESPN Android TV app.

Willow 2 and FOX Soccer Plus HD's move to D14 is complete, and FSPHD is finally on channel 621

7 ESPN+ Event channels are testing on 210.x, they're also testing on the streaming server. They have the same content that's on the ESPN+ for Business channels, so 6 and 7 are listed first, followed by 1-5 to match how DTV has the Joe Hand channels ordered in the 9500s:
JHP6 = 9519 & 210.1
JHP7 = 9520 & 210.2
JHP1 = 9521 & 210.3
JHP2 = 9522 & 210.4
JHP3 = 9523 & 210.5
JHP4 = 9524 & 210.6
JHP5 = 9525 & 210.7

Peacock Games 1 is now testing on 619, as of now no live games have aired on the feeds that are testing on the stream server, just a bunch of test loops

*PERKS is testing on 220

9757 GIFT (Sports Pack on Us) and 9759 DRAMA (P+Showtime) are now live
