RAVE on 2 different satellites (110 & 129)

[brg606]

Why?

 

[Mr Tony]

according to www.dishchannelchart.com its on 61.5 & 129 (as are most HD) because part of the US can't see 129

 

[brg606]

i have a dish1000 that gets 110, 119, & 129 and i could swear last night i saw it on channel 287 (i think) on sat 110 and also it's normal spot on 129. i might be mistaken.

 

[dfergie]

It may be on 110 for the free dish preview talked about in the Bad News for HD net thread

 

[Poke]

Also I think there useing one as a free preview..

 

[RandallA]

The one on 287 is just a Free Preview and it's MPEG2.

All 3 are mpeg2, I've had rave on my 811 for almost a year.

287 must be SD mirror for HD Rave.

287 must be SD mirror for HD Rave.

Check Channel type, 0x91! I think its just a preview for people that never upgraded to 61.5 or 129 sat location. Or maybe original HD Pack customers that never added voom?

I hope all 10 of them appreciate this!

 

[BFG]

good news is the preview channel is higher rez than the 9470 channel

That really sucks... maybe they will preview HD net soon so we can get some better PQ

 

[Smith P.]

Lets compare - this snapshot from 61.5W tp13, Rave is 1280x1080i
[going to switch cables and check it at 110W]

 

[Smith P.]

Well, it looks the same for me at 110W tp7

 

[dfergie]

We appreciate the info!

 

[dfergie]

And 129?

 

[Smith P.]

here is

 

[dfergie]

Pretty much the same whereever... Thanks alot!

 

[Mr.Pinkeye]

I hope all 10 of them appreciate this!

I don't know about the other 9, but I'm enjoying it. Watched a couple concerts (The Cure and Dave Matthews Band,) and the picture blew away HDNET.

rave is a great channel... though you can usually watch all the concerts they offer pretty quickly... they need to rotate more concerts in to the playlist...

Also I hate free previews because they put the stupid scroller on the non preview also... guess what, I pay for those channels allready no need to advertise to me!
