Equity moved some channels around

[Mr Tony]

The encrypted channel (1st one in the 12114 mux) is still scrambled. But KPBI (that was there) shifted to the 2nd channel is unencrypted

 

[iafirebuff]

ah gotcha, thanks

 

[Keith Brannen]

doesnt help. Equity hasnt changed the titles on their end which is no biggie. KDEV-LP (7th channel in 11800 mux) said old name of KWBS for 6 months

I just renamed them via the channel editor

Same here. Which also means (at least for the Pansat 3500SD) when you want to re-scan to see if Equity has changed the name, you have to delete it, and see what it shows up as, and then (usually) rename it! Have done that several times since last night for KWFT (now KFDF)! And, of course, transponder 12114 is no help at all with their $TV1 and TV2!

So who is the mystery channel now in KPBI's old encrypted spot? I was hoping when all the changes took place that they would just unencrypt KPBI and we'd get an extra channel!

 

[Mr Tony]

I don't know whats there now

the Coolsat shows the following

"TV1 12113 V Galaxy 10R"

Wonder whether it is still KPBI encrypted, to allow their legitimate receivers to make the transition to the new unencrypted channel, similar to how Montana PBS was still on the old transponder for a few days after their move to the new transponder. Should know in a few days if it drops off the transponder.

The old KPBI spot just had a spot listing it as KFDF UPN 10. It comes through in the clear on my Twinhan card, but not with my Skystar card.

Equity doesn't change their service names very often (if at all)... As far as I know, one of their channels is still identified as the Tube...

nope. It shows KWCE-RTN (you have to delete the channel and rescan). I had the same issue when the channel showed up

They've also rearranged some of them on the C-band side, on G3. I noticed last night that WSAV is now on. Don't know who/what it replaced, but I think it was one of the Spanish channels. This is WSAV DT2, out of Savannah. At some point last week they switched from weather radar to RTN and I think MyTV for primetime.

I really need to do a rescan of several "regular" sats... Usually, I only rescan often on the notorious feed satellites

 

[Mr Tony]

Here might be why the channels changed. Did some reading and a comment was made on the article which matches what we are seeing

"In fort smith analog KPBI46 is now on channel 10 and UPN10 is now on channel 34 and 46. The WB got dropped off channel 34, which may mean no cw affiliate. UPN10 is supposed to become a Retro TV station.

Thanks for the info, it does make more sense now as to why the moves took place, and the disappearance of KWFT!

 

[Mr Tony]

yep. Since Equity isnt turning any channels CW and UPN10 (which is going RTN) will be changing on both stations, they only need one feed

I'm so damn confused. I'll have to press pause on my Coolsat 4000 during the station ID's to get things straightened out. I'm confused too. KWBM My 31 isn't matching the Titan-TV schedule. Not sure if that's my error or just cause of the new fall season coming out.

Mas Musica es no mas (Apologies for bad Spanish).

This may be a bit off topic, but I've noticed Mas Musica is just a blank screen. Apparently Viacom bought this "channel". They are merging Mas Musica and MTV en Espanol to form a new network TR3's. That network launches September 25. Since Viacom/MTV don't seem particularly FTA friendly I wonder if we'll get to see the new channel anyway.

Titan the last week or so has been whacked due to the changes. I thought with these stations that went to "My" the only thing that changed was the 2 hour block

interesting...did not know about that. I did see the blank screen the other day. Hopefully they add something good there and not another Spanish channel
