Cool. Thats normally just color bars so its nice to see stuff on there

 

[fester7]

Yeah usually nothing there. Just happened to be checking that sat and there it was.

Yeah I caught the shuttle docking last weekend. Too bad it's not really HD. Had the HD logo but not the real McCoy

 

[Magic Static]

I spoke to soon here. I was watching that feed on Galaxy 28 last weekend. This is different and showing 720x480

 

[Jim S.]

Well if it's 720x480 it's just widescreen SD. Is it a real downscaled copy of the HD program, or is it stretch-o-vision?

 

[Magic Static]

It was broadcast in 4:3 format not 16:9 "Squeez-o-vision" LOL

 

[fester7]

Yeah just HD shown on standard def channel. Channel is gone anyway, back to color bars.

 

[Magic Static]

I have it on Galaxy 28 now again trans 11955,V,19532

[Magic Static]

[El_Viejo]

It is the same info that I get on DTV nasa channel, except it has the HD added in the upper right corner. El_Viejo

The "real" HD channel on AMC-3 C-Band (HQ-105) is a high definition version of the NASA-TV public channel (HQ-1), which is the channel available on pay services such as Dish and DTV. HQ-105 is 720p, however, much of the video shown is upconverted and pillarboxed. The HD channel was a part-time feed channel until somewhat recently.

Apparently, the "HD" channel on Ku-Band is a downconversion of the AMC-3 HD channel.

AMC9K/3F is a NBC news feed channel in SD resolution. NBC was rebroadcasting NASA HD for whatever event happened at the time the OP made this thread. NASA only uses Ku-band occasionally to feed the NASA HD channel for some events where the video can't be transported by NASA LAN to the master control/uplink. The full-time service is on c-band with public and media in HD and the museum channel in sd that also doubles as a feeder to cable and dbs who carry only the SD feed.

Lol Tony thats what i was talking about as "power user" in my other post, you didnt even have to think twice to know what was one that bird and TP hehe

i wish my house had a better view of the arc

 

[Mr Tony]

that transponder I've used to aim a dish at 83W since RTV can be finicky

thats what I used to aim my "portable dish" on Friday....ironically that transponder wasnt there Saturday as 2 college football games took up the whole transponder (11760-11780) where those news feeds usually reside...but that's what I was aiming for
