PBS has Arrived!!

[probinson]

I noticed that WEAO in the Cleveland market has been turned on, but no uplink report seems the be out there for it (although it is in TheList).

Ditto with WQED in Pittsburgh. I didn't see an uplink for that either, but it's on...

This is Thanksgiving week. There will be no mass uplink this week.

It sure would have been nice to have WNET in HD when they were running "Sherlock" on Masterpiece Theater. Big event of the year, and they miss HD by a couple of weeks.

It's on Blu-Ray.

Also check out the excellent mini-series from the same writer called "Jekyll" (another old British story set in modern times).

Yes, but if there was a change, there should have been a report.

And if you are in the NYC area, if you are on EA, the SD versions of the channels have been removed. If you use favorites lists, they will show that they are just not there. You will need to add them back. 13 WNET and 58 WNJB.

I don't know where I've been the past 15 days, but I just found WNET and WNJB HD tonight. Hurrah!

Now, if only I could get WLIW, too!

KOPB 10 - Portland ???

Are there any other PBShd feeds uplinked but not yet turned on?

 

[jlabsher]

I wish they would get DC for goodness sake! No offense to the rest of the country but you would think Dish network would give the friggin national capital public broadcasting in HD.

Yeah, 'cause DC is more important that the rest of the country... Sorry, offense taken

 

[TheKrell]

It's more important because it's visible to Congressional lawmakers, not just your local lawmakers when they are visiting back home. Take offense at the location of DC if you must, but the nation's capital has to go somewhere!

 

[harshness]

9 and 28 UP...Portland 10?????

No on KOPB.

 

[R0ss]

So how does Dish decide the order of markets to turn on HD PBS? According to "The List" none of the PBS affiliates available in the Boston DMA are in HD as of yet. They are all being broadcast in MPEG2 SD on 110 and MPEG4 SD on 61.5.

Go ahead and be offended, but DC is the 9th largest DMA out of 210.

 

[Hall]

Does Dish turn on channels based on DMA ranking ? Nope...

how do i know where my pbs comes from? i live in abilene about 130 miles from dallas , but do not get kera. i do not watch it a lot and have never seen any station info.

 

[joelwnelson]

Looks like Abilene gets a nationwide PBS feed so it is not local to your area and there would not be any station info other than just identifying as "PBS".

Sorry sounds like somebody has issues. It is a fairly large market and the visibility alone makes it somewhat important. Plus isn't that where the HQ of PBS is. Gotta give all those new freshman lawmakers something to do when they're not busy dismantling the government.

 

[Hall]

No "issues" at all. Everyone always thinks *their* market is more important than other markets though...

 

[R0ss]

Can't disagree with you but I still would like to know how Dish decides which market in which order to turn on????

SF Bay Area?

Never for some reason Charlie hates the bay area. If you want PBS then go to comcast or direct tv.
