They added WPMI HD Mobile to the Upload two weeks ago and now added the SD version to 61.5. The SD version has been available, but the HD version has never been available. Any ideas on what is the hold up on making the HD version available. They have been in negoiatiions for months, so why upload them and not make them available.
 
Several markets HD chanels that did not pan out had the SD version uplinked to make a complete locals package when the markets are launched on EA. The HD version of those chanels was removed.
 
I suppose more SD locals might blow a draft up some skirts. However it looks like next to nothing has been happening with regard to adding more HD locals since early July.
 
NHL NETWORK

Since there is now a SD version of NHL Network at 403 does this mean that we will now get the NHL Network HD with the $10 HD package since there is now a SD version of the NHL Network and the $10 HD package is supposed to have the HD version of all the SD channels which have a HD service?
 
E* is waiting for FCC to reply to request to move E*8 to 77 West.

I have not heard of any failures on E*8 that would limit use, so it should have 32 transponders and a few spot beams (but the spot beams were not designed for 77, so they may not end up being pointed to anywhere useful):

EchoStar VIII

Thrusters: During 2002, two of the thrusters on EchoStar VIII experienced anomalous events and are not currently in use. During March 2003, an additional thruster on EchoStar VIII experienced an anomalous event and is not currently in use. The satellite is equipped with a total of 12 thrusters that help control spacecraft location, attitude, and pointing and is currently operating using a combination of the other nine thrusters. This workaround requires more frequent maneuvers to maintain the satellite at its specified orbital location, which are less efficient and therefore result in accelerated fuel use. In addition, the workaround has resulted in certain gyroscopes being utilized for aggregate periods of time substantially in excess of their originally qualified limits. However, neither of these workarounds are expected to reduce the estimated design life of the satellite to less than 12 years. An investigation of the thruster anomalies, including the development of additional workarounds for long term operations, is continuing. None of these events has impacted commercial operation of the satellite to date.
Solar arrays: EchoStar VIII is equipped with two solar arrays which rotate continuously to maintain optimal exposure to the sun. During June and July 2003, EchoStar VIII experienced anomalies that temporarily halted rotation of one of the solar arrays. In December 2003 the other array experienced a similar anomaly. Both arrays are currently fully functional, but rotating in a mode recommended by the satellite manufacturer which allows full rotation but is different than the originally prescribed mode.
Battery: During September 2003, a single battery cell on EchoStar VIII exhibited reduced capacity. There are 72 battery cells on EchoStar VIII and all loads can be maintained for the full design life of the satellite with up to two battery cells fully failed. An investigation of the battery cell anomaly, which has not impacted commercial operation of the satellite, is underway.

Hopefully one of the spot beams covers the Indy, Cincy, and Kentucky region so we can get some HD locals.
 
There will not be any E-8 satellite spotbeam use from 77 W. There is the possibility that the Ciel-2 satellite has spotbeams for use in Indy, Cincy and surrounding areas.

So you think they will have a giant Western Arc region right in the middle of the Eastern Arc area? I hope not, I want to replace my three dishes with one.

Don't assume the Eastern Arc and Western Arc will be a contiguous area. They maybe be based on the space Dish has on a spotbeam satellite. Certainly, folks in the northeast will be in the Eastern Arc and those on the west coast in the Western Arc but otherwise it may not be as clean as one would think.

Funny you should mention that:
FCC Approves STA for Moving E-8 to 77wl

Twenty days later than E* wanted to start moving it.
