Freeing up another 129 CONUS transponder? Now Erie SD locals are sharing a transponder with Columbus, OH.

Check out the PDF that is sorted "By Beam" to see the transponder loading on 129.

I guess this means we won't be getting RSNs in HD by baseball season, huh?

Hey! I thought there were no spoilers in this thread.

Now you've taken away any anticipation I may have had up until opening day....

Sorry, Kramer. I couldn't get my favorite team in HD anyway. My whole family likes the Braves but we live in Florida. We can get them on TBS but I don't think they'll have them after this year. Oh, well, if we do ever get RSNs in HD, I could at least watch the Marlins and Devil Rays.

The MPEG4 move is on once again! I was waiting for this to happen as KTTV was sitting all by itself on a 40mbps stream. EchoStar5 TP 19 is still active but is now 40mbps of NULL packets.

What is a null packet?

A packet that is null. null = http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/null

This may indicate how Dish plans to swap out receivers when they make the change. Start in one area swapping out receivers by making the locals MPEG4 then move to the next. At the end, move the nationals over.

Umm anybody who is receiving HD locals already has a MPEG4 receiver

Has something changed with Hdnet?
I'm watching Bladerunner and it looks better then anything I've seen on HDnet in a very long while.

Nope... still 3 HD channels running at an average of 12-13mbps and one SD at 2mbps on this TP.

Shame on E*!!!!
