Fsnw!!!

Turn on FSN North as well

 

[digiblur]

Waiting for the resolution reports from the R5000 guys...

I'm guessing 1440 for the 1080i ones. Is ESPN still 1280x720p?

 

[JohnH]

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

It has been assigned to 61.5w. Not available.

 

[lakebum431]

I'm not home to see what it looks like. Anyone out there that can check resolutions right now? I'd love to hear it.

SNNY, FoxNY, FoxNE, CSNMA, and MSG HD are all listed (in red as unavailable) as being assigned to 61.5, and all share TP30.

Dish Network Channels at 61.5°

Yep, anyone can check if they have the correct equipment, like a R5000.

Moved MPEG2 channels are 1440x1080i

Including TNTHD, ESPNHD, HBOHD and SHOHD

I'm more interested in the bitrate for these channels. Probably below 10 mbps now.

ESPNHD is 1080i?

How did you check these?

 

[ssneed]

I'm more interested in the bitrate for these channels. Probably below 10 mbps now.

TNTHD - 8-9 Mbps
HDNET - 8-9Mbps
HDNMV - 8-9 Mbps
ESPNHD - 10-11 Mbps
DSCHD - 11-12 Mbps
HBOHD - 9-10 Mbps
SHOHD - 11 Mbps

Spot checked averages, not long-term averages.

 

[ssneed]

ESPNHD is 1080i?

How did you check these?

ESPNHD was 1280x720 after move is 1440x1080i per TSReader.

 

[digiblur]

ESPNHD was 1280x720 after move is 1440x1080i per TSReader.

ESPNHD is encrypted, are you viewing this with a R5000 mod?

Short clip captured from 211 w/R5000 and analyzed ts with TSReader.

Here

 

[RandallA]

Thanks Digi, looks like they're lower than before. I haven't seen the channels yet but I bet they look worst than before.

 

[digiblur]

Here's the left over old HD channels that are still there but aren't mapped.

 

[RandallA]

Here's the left over old HD channels that are still there but aren't mapped.

Discovery HD has always looked good to me, no wonder it was at 14 mbps. Now, we'll have to get home and check the channel. Sigh!

 

[db2]

ESPNHD was 1280x720 after move is 1440x1080i per TSReader.

I know there were rumors of ESPN changing their format to 1080i. Is this change ESPN's or simply E* recoding the signal?

I am assuming the latter since we haven't heard much about it.

 

[goaliebob99]

Im thinking its echostar's doing, but we will see. Dish is up to something and killing pq better not be it!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I can't say much... but I can say this...

Any loss of PQ is temporary. Dish is working to provide the best PQ anywhere.

Thats all I can say about that.
