DMX

[tvropro]

From Satforums:

Motorola ACC has notified NPS that the free DMX music channels will not be mapped after 06-07-10.

Whats does that mean?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Bye Bye DMX Audio channels on the 4DTV.

 

[eurosport]

No problem! My DTE-7150 and DSR-4200V will still get 'em just fine!

Hopefully

Hopefully

If they stay up there, yes... If they quit uplinking them, no.
(Hopefully they stay) Which makes me wonder if they'll still be on the DSR-410 system. I'm getting ready to set one up soon.

 

[crackt]

does that ever suck.

crackt out,.

 

[tvropro]

If I would have to guess Direct tv has something to do with this. Maybe Comcast lost the right to sell them. I have a hunch that they will disappear and not be uplinked anymore there. Now the thing is what will Comcast do with the extra bandwidth? More HD or possibly rent that space to SRL for other channels. We can all get DMX other places

 

[Mr Tony]

audio channels do not use much bandwidth. IIRC in MPEG2 its 6:1
6 audio channels use the same bandwidth as 1 video

That'd be enough space for FoxNews and TNT then!

Excuse perhaps a dumb question from a non-4DTV user (I use a 4200 and a Genpix), but wouldn't this just mean that you could still receive them by using generics???
Doesn't seem all that serious to me. What would be serious would be if they would either encrypt them or change the freq to a freq that the 4DTV couldn't tune.

DMX stated a new mux last summer on G-17. There was talk about them leaving W5 then. HITS is probably getting around to it now or the contract with DMX runs out. Now that Direct tv offers Sonic (DMX) They probably don't want them available to Comcast anymore.

Even generics or commercial Dc-2's will tune a non existent mux. The above is why I believe that they will do something else with that space. Unless SRL steps up to the plate and requests the space for channels they can add, HITS will probably use it for HD.

Really??? {Sorry, had to jump on that before you changed it. }

If I lose DMX for faux news that'd piss me off!

Encryption would suck, but freqs that a 4DTV can't tune would be fine. I'd just punch the info into my Digitrans, or 4200V, and let the music play once again! :

That DVB mux at 91w sounds like crap compared to the DCII version on 105w.

It sounded alright here through my Yamaha HT system in AC-3. I think those are the masters on 91. We can't control what HITS is going to do. Fox news would not be a choice I want put there either, but that channel seems to have quite a following. It's like Gary Bourgois used to say... "Follow the money trail"

Some of them just sounded distorted like they were over-modulated. I never noticed it on W5.

faux = false or fake

what news do you prefer?

What news is real to you?

 

[tvropro]

The real story

Mike Kohl just said on Sat talk that DMX on W5 is ending transmission. The DVB feeds on G-17 are now where you will need to get them.
