SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Discussion - Week Ending 10/06/2007

[FitzAusTex]

Just checked my guide. For HD, just the NHL channels have been added.

No NHL Network, that sucks.

What's ATT? The ATT takeover announcement?

I "smell" another late Wednesday/early Thursday uplink update.

 

[richiephx]

BFD, just more fill channels so E* can say they added more HD

Do you know something we don't, or is that a guess?

I would guess a slate as it's a steady 1.98mbps.

No inside information here...although the uplink guys can always PM me if they want

Just a hunch on some changes that are halfway completed from last weeks late night uplink changes.

385 - FOXNE renamed to CSNNE (NA)

Activity for HD sports in New England! Just a name change and still not available, but still activity. This was one of the original RSNs to be uplinked over a year ago. I thought they forgot about it.

Att-hd ????

what does digiblur's "guess a slate" mean; what is a slate

At least something is happening with the channel.

I think it's out of the HD channels range.

Dumb question but, what is a slate? I was thinking it must be something regional because it's not mirrored.

They use a slate for announcements or just to display the Dish Network logo.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I got to agree, I expect another uplink.

I think they are playing with us on the AT&T HD channel.

Thinking something maybe interesting for this ATT addition since it is MPEG4 only. There isnt an ATT SD on the uplink. If it was some sort of ATT announcement i'd think that it would be SD-only or both.

And it's only on sat 129

Do this 2nd uplinks happen fairly quick after the initial, or overnight? I would love to be able to change to the NHL network during tonights games.
