DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - 5/28/2008 1:34pm - 138 changes

[Mr Tony]

My gut (aka, a flat out guess) on why WKBW wasn't turned on is that since they are also controlling WNGS in that market, which is a RTN station, that they probably want WNGS uplinked as well.

WNGS is not HD yet. Heck they dont even have a digital channel yet. They are using 7-2 for digital (piggybacking off ABC) and 67 for analog.

WNGS SD is up and running on Dish
and you are correct...Equity owns them but WKBW runs the commercials

Lin TV owns both the cbs and cw stations in buffalo.

and right there is how CW got on...LIN

Great news for Buffalo locals.. tho I really wonder what is up with WKBW. I believe they are owned by Granite.

The Buffalo locals look really good to me also. I switched back and forth also and if a difference doesn't jump out at me when I am doing that...... then it is good enough for us.

I compared them with my ota and they look very good, and I am quite impressed.

This is good. I can't wait for my locals.

Most likely a mistake on the report as I'm still working on some issues that seem to be causing other mistakes to pop up....

FWIW I was not trying to point out a "mistake on the report". Rather, I was curious about why Dish removed these Texas MPEG4 SD locals on 61.5 which had been up-linked in April but never made available. This made me wonder whether the Texas DMAs will be included in the Eastern Arc.

WNLO was bragging on their 10 pm news last night that they are first CW Channel in America to be broadcast in HD on E*.

Didn't they talk about adding the NY CW in HD?

 

[digiblur]

Looks like we have a little bit of movement on the TMP A, B, C, etc channels. I noticed one was running around 10 mbps now and another seven of them actually had video streams but were not your typical varying video bit rates. But they have the encoder fired up though!

And just to answer the 10 next questions...do you know what the channels might be and when? Nope and nope.

 

[Jeffro34tx]

Nice!

I hope it doesn't take "SOON" to see them available. Hopefully Wednesday is the day.

 

[PopcornNMore]

When you say "removed" do you mean removed from the maps or removed from the satellite? I assume you mean removed from the maps, because I know some of these channels still exist as of last night.

Static rates? Slates???

EXCELLENT!!!

Hmmm... it also has EPG info. 9495 TMP T - College Lacrosse(NCAA Division), and Women's College Water Polo is up next.

Yes, removed from maps. There's no way I could check the PMT of every TP since I don't have LOS to all the beams.

Thanks for the scoop Digi

Can anyone identify?

Of course it could be a bored engineer feeding another engineer that has the day off.
