HDSKD channels are for HD RSN and HD PPV sources. They may have upgraded the Encoders on these muxes to handle the 6 channel scenario.

Given that the quantities were different, I'd be looking at something that is already on 61.5 that isn't on 129.

Yep...just saw on 61.5 they are on the same TP as the others.

Can you explain a little more John? Does this mean we might see more HD RSN's????

More HD RSNs is a possibility, but the primary purpose would be to provide more games that occur at the same time.

We've had our HD RSN up for about a month now in Indy and I have not seen one single thing on it. Nothing but the HDTV logo.... the music's kind of nice though.

What the heck is CCSNC?

Comcast Sportsnet Chicago in HD of course.

 

[SarKen]

NESN HD would be nice. But I think this will never happen.

Ah. Wrong acronym but ok.

Is it too much to ask that they light up this baby for the weekends crosstown classic?

Yes, Tp 17 at 110 is "empty"!

Still has signal though.

All you PQ junkies can talk about 4 MPEG2 HDs per TP now.

 

[roachxp]

I think once E* goes through the first phase of getting rid of all the old non VIP HD boxes they will see if they have to offer a better deal, or just convert the rest of HD channels to Mpeg4, even if some subs total refuse to upgrade.

Well, well, well. A whole CONUS transponder doing nothing! Room for those six HD channels Charlie mentioned (asssuming the new MPEG-4 encoders). I'm guessing they won't be RSNs.

New update... the interesting thing is they mirrored the HD's off of TP 17 to the others. TP17 still has signal and still has the same three channels on it, but your receivers are mapped to look at the others.

What do these channels look like now?

Are they taking a page out of the DirecTV uplink engineer's handbook?

Perhaps Sportsnet New York HD is coming soon as had been announced.
