Equity channels sold.....will leave satellite...now gone

[eurosport]

I've already re-aimed my DirecTV World Direct Dish. Instead of 123/129, it's now prepared for the up and coming football season. 105 and 99.

That was/is my plan for my 123 dish if Retrojams leaves... a repoint to 105!

 

[Mr Tony]

yep. Have a motorized that is "fixed" right now on 123W but will move to 105 come fall

 

[empiretc]

a lot of good things pop up there?

 

[Mr Tony]

sports feeds come fall

 

[Frenchophile]

will those be in C or Ku band?

 

[Mr Tony]

KU (after all folks are saying they are going to move their G18 dishes to there so obviously its KU)

 

[Frenchophile]

KU (after all folks are saying they are going to move their G18 dishes to there so obviously its KU)

duh! (hanging head in shame)

thanks!

If some of these are just gone, why do so many of them come up "scrambled or bad channel" ...this stuff isn't scrambled, or is it that the receiver "thinks" they're scrambled because there's no video there?
(Doing a whole new blind scan of G18 right now on the Pansat 2500)

Im getting those "scrambled or bad channel" messages too. I really need to clean up my Pansat. Don't use it all that much lately since RTN moved to AMC 9. Im not sure what I will do with my 84cm if whatever Equity is left leaves. I could motorize it or point it at something have to ponder what would be good.

PEACE tv is back!

11964 V 2000

Telefutura sometimes with audio! Now this channel...I trust on 123W!:up

sports feeds come fall

i have a brand new 36" Geosat Pro and a brand new visionsat sitting in my barn. My buddy wanted a system but he ended up going with DTV (wife put her foot down).

If I end up keeping it, I know what to do with it!!

 

[Mr Tony]

I know its not on FTA anymore but WMQF is dead

renamed to WZMQ...according to reports its just a slate

WMQF was sold at auction to an entity named MMMRC on April 16, 2009.[1] MMMRC, LLC is owned by the principals of Smet Construction Services in De Pere, Wisconsin.[2] The station received approval to change the call sign to WZMQ[3] and the change took effect on June 23, 2009[4], the day after the sale closed.[5]

 

[N5XZS]

Iceberg,

What kind of programings it will be on WZMQ-DT or LD? Just wondering....

 

[Mr Tony]

unknown right now. Its just a couple slate screens that say the callsign and coming soon

will they keep the fox network? possibly as right now there is no OTA Fox in the market (WLUK Green Bay has been on cable the whole time)
Will it go something else? who knows

all I know is its no longer on G18 as the new owners took over

 

[Mr Tony]

Om a CS5000 if you rescan 11800 it removes all the other channels that are gone

we are down to 21 channels now....was at 33 at one point

 

[magnigyro]

One more into the darkness!

KEGS black screen today... The end comes?

 

[eurosport]

I think the end has come for G18 on my dish farm. Retrojams is just a black screen w/no audio. Goodbye G18, you've been a good bird.....

 

[Mr Tony]

KEGS is a full power station so they did have to leave on 6/12. There were 2 LP stations for it but between being sold and the 6/12 cutoff they might have just turned that one off too

I think euro is right...dish needs to be moved

 

[Mikhel]

I might be wrong but... all channels from Equity at 95ºW C Band are gone, all of them were showing a blank slate at 9:30pm Pacific Standard Time....

O.O

Mike

 

[cruzin]

I just got a dish setup for 123! boy what a time to pull it.
On the LIST is Equity the same as RTNe ?

 

[Tron]

Full-time PBS-HD from my 1 meter Channel Master will be nice. It's waiting for me two degrees to the west. Equity, it's been great! All good things must come to an end ...
