[KyL416]

More shuffling today, the 5 displaced CINEHD channels are back on D14 TPN 12

212 NFLHD is now in MGM's former slot on D11 TPN 7 (MGM is still on D10/TPN 3)
307 NwsNnHD is now in FOXeHD's former slot on D11 TPN 3 (FOXeHD is still on D10/TPN 3)
359 FBNHD is now on D11 TPN 8
402 UNIeHD is back in its previous slot on D11 TPN 14

D11 TPN 2 has a signal again.

That's interesting that they have been able to get a transponder back up on D11 tpn2 (Net 10 TID 125). I still wonder what the failure mode was.

 

[PioneerDJ]

I guess they need to have enough bandwidth space for when sports is busy from March 28-April 14 when it’s MLB NBA NHL MLS in regular season form, plus Apple TV (MLS and MLB) and ESPN+Biz for commercial accounts
This week and next week ESPN+Biz will show some college basketball conference tournament games

 

[Tom Speer]

The signal from 103ca TPN 15 is at zero! That transponder is either on D12 or D15 (we can't pe positive which). Today it is supposed to be carrying:

208	ESPNUHD
618	FS2HD
640	MASNHD
233	GSNHD
692	BSWSTHD

 

[DirecTVFanSince2016]

Interesting...I'll have to check one of those channels when I can.

 

[Tom Speer]

208, 618, 640, and 233 switch to streaming (using signalsaver). 692 (BSWSTHD) offers to switch to SD. First noticed it tuning past ESPN2.

 

[DirecTVFanSince2016]

Thanks. Hopefully they get 692 fixed in time for Kings-Blues tomorrow night as that game is also on there in addition to a national TNT telecast.

 

[Tom Speer]

While researching the above outage, I also noticed that SD duplicate local channels have been remapped to a slate in Boston, Charlotte, Cleveland, Denver, Memphis, Paducah, Pittsburgh, and Sacramento.

 

[Tom Speer]

103ca TPN 15 is back to full strength, and all 5 channels are back. I may have caught them moving those channels from D12 to D15, on the same trasnponder frequency. Watch for Puerto Rico to possibly get some of that programming tonight.

Dallas, Detroit, Greenville SC, Phoenix, San Francisco and St. Louis still have single notices

 

[savarese04]

Dallas, Detroit, Greenville SC, Phoenix, San Francisco and St. Louis still have single notices

How do the notices work? I am in the SF area and I see no notices. Do they only show for those who have affected equip?

 

[DirecTVFanSince2016]

How do the notices work? I am in the SF area and I see no notices. Do they only show for those who have affected equip?

They’re as -9 channels on the numbers of the big 4 local stations (similar to how they do it for disputes). Like the SF notice is on 7-9, and 7 is KGO, ABC.
They should only show for those with affected equipment, but based on earlier posts, it doesn’t look like they are.

 

[Tom Speer]

In your Display settings, do you have "Hide SD Duplicates" set? If so, set it to "show all channels". I am not sure if that will make the INFO channels show in the guide or not, but I suspect so. It's been a long time since I had any SD duplicatees for my locals.

yeah I just set it to show all channels that and nothing showed up. Not trying to watch SD anything in 2024

I guess it's only for affected equip. Not fussed to see it, was just curious!
