Sorry to read you've already given up on your Coolsat? Maybe you should think about keeping it and getting a 1m or 1.2m dish with a USALS motor for ku programming.

Fox does not want backyard dish owners to get FX at this time.

Do you think they will ever let us get it?

Not sure, my guess would be probably not or we would have it by now.

FX is located via DVB on G 11, C Band. It is encrypted, but is in the clear every now and then. I check it about once a month.

It seems a lot of networks are turning their backs on the backyard dish folks.

I guess they want to force us to sleep with the cable or pizza dish companies.

I will not pay the high prices of cable or pizza dishes for their less than quality pictures.

If c-band keeps up and all we can get are re-feeds and re-uplinks, c-band is going to look as bad as pizza dishes.

at least it will probably be cheaper.

I agree truckracer. I'm still looking forward to the years ahead for cband, though. I mean looking at the chart of sats and transponders (whats the abbreviation for this?) inside OnSat, there sure is a lot of orange (dcII) Also doesn't one transponder hold up to 10 channels or something? If I'm happy just viewing the analog that exists now, I'm sure I will be more than thrilled with whats up there on 4dtv. I'm easily amused I miss Nick and Espn, but those are not near reason enough to quit cband. The money saving feature is the most (last?) attractive to the public, i would think.

Was just reading elsewhere that FX will become available when ALL analog channels are gone. FX requires that in order to be reuplinked, they have to put one version up on analog, and one in digital. So when analog is gone, there will be no such requirement to pay twice for the same feed. So NPS is just waiting on that

 

[chefwan]

that's crazy. i dont understand why they cant uplink it now? lol

 

[somery]

FX is the crazy one, lol. They made it a requirement that they have to put up two FX's (one analog, one digital) Keep in mind it costs NPS approximately $10,000 PER channel they re-uplink.
