SatelliteGuys Uplink Discussion for the week of 5/19/07

[Scott Greczkowski]

Please use this thread for discussion of this weeks uplink report.

Note that Digiblur is on vacation this week, Digiblur also sent me a new version of the uplink report tool and I am not sure if its working correctly on my system.

If there are any mistakes, hopefully the godfather of Uplink Reports John H can fix the mistakes.

Looks like several channels were removed....

TNGTony's chart might become a little bit smaller in size cuz of that

 

[Juan]

Fx Is Gone!!!!!! Wtf!!

 

[RandallA]

Fx Is Gone!!!!!! Wtf!!

Last week they put it on 137, so it's not gone.

 

[Smith P.]

Scott, ummm ... Time to manual correction -"removed from 02151" shouldn't be there .

[Or sign up for Satellite Monitoring Class today - we have a few seats available .]

 

[redsalmon]

Scott, Channels 5601 - 5627 are Anchorage AK locals. They would be on tp4 of spotbeam 46.

Better read last weeks uplink..cause they didnt move it to 137..its always been there

 

[Pepper]

I thought FX was moving TO 136, but I never saw it there in the guide.

 

[JohnH]

I expect a corrected version of the report to appear. Something similar to the following

575 FPCHN MOVED FROM Tp 8 on EchoStar 3 at 61.5w
TO Tp 18 on EchoStar 3 at 61.5w

575 FPCHN MOVED FROM Tp 9 on EchoStar 1 at 148w
TO Tp 11 on EchoStar 1 at 148w

What does "DIGITAL CHANNELS REQUIRED BY LAW" refer to?

I wonder if this is a pre-emptive strike before enabling the USB archiving?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Shhh....

 

[roachxp]

So that means we can't archive HBO and Max shows when USB rolls around?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes you can, its the reason they are doing it.

However you wont be able to try ripping the video from the USB hard drive and playing it back on a computer.

That is the reason for the DRM.

 

[Hall]

So that means we can't archive HBO and Max shows when USB rolls around?

If you mean "can't record to the DVR", no, that's not the case.

 

[lakebum431]

Scott is right, they are doing it to prevent copying from the external hd (once it becomes available) to another source.

 

[Pepper]

Just give the guys at the [koff]dishrip [koff]yahoo group a couple weeks or so on that one...

 

[dfergie]

I'm wondering if this affects the R-5000 mod folks...
