SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report Discussion- Week Ending 02/02/08

[tsduke]

Nobody get mad until Friday afternoon if we have no new HD. Remember, Sci-Fi and USA are already uplinked, the flags need to be changed, that's all. But Friday, if we have no new HD. Ebay, here we come.

The only problem with that theory is there isn't anything transmitting on those 2 channels.

I saw a commercial for the next Tech Forum (Feb. 11th?) that said they will be discussing "HD updates". Whatever that means!

I liked having the free preview channels in one spot. Now each time they change it I have to update my favorites list.

TBS HD will be the HD updates

But this change does free up transponder space.

 

[BigTimMN]

does it free up transponder space? or did they just link those channels to the existing one, ala the TEST channel and HDTheater.

 

[retorq]

Don't forget MAVHD ...

TBS HD will be the HD updates

 

[cosmo_kramer]

in Dish terms that is also defined as "SOON".

Damn, you beat me to it....

I thought the free preview channel were only mirrors of the channels showing.

 

[digiblur]

What do the flag changes mean??

It means I was too busy to manually edit the report. I didn't even get a chance to really look at it.

Catching up on things....hang tight.

 

[digiblur]

Well... theres goes the theory of seeing anything on USA HD and SCI FI HD for the the beginning of the month. Can you check if those channels are still transmitting a test signal or null packets Digi? I wonder if there is activity on them yet?

I so look forward to these uplinks, but I must say they always disapoint (on dish's behalf)

-B

Maybe on Friday....but don't hold your breath. They still look like slates to me, static bit rates of encrypted 3.96mbps that do not move like the other video streams on this transponder.

 

[Lurker]

I sure hope that the deletion of the preview channels indicates they will go back to running all future free previews on the regular channel numbers like they used to.

Digi. Did you get my pm about the transponers on 129?? I understand if you don't want to comment on what I asked about . Just wanted to make sure you got the pm.

Browsing this site on my phone is a bad thing. I read the PM's but I forget to answer them when I get time to sit down.

 

[tigerfan33]

Thanks digi.

 

[mike123abc]

These threads should be renamed to uplink INactivity report discussion.

 

[digiblur]

Thanks digi.

No problem. I hope the phone call explained a lot of things you were wondering about.
