SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Discussion - Week Ending 06/23/2007

[edpkp81]

It has been assigned to 61.5w. Not available.

Yeah, I know it's been uplinked for a while. Supposed to be available this summer sometime.

 

[primetimeguy]

I know PQ can vary game to game and site to site, but I was going to post last night that the MLB game on ESPN last night was some of the best I've seen from them. Anyone have a better way to track when this happened. From the uplink reports it looks like somewhere between 4pm yesterday and 8am this morning.

May all be coincidence.

Moves of this type usually happen 3-4 AM EDT.

ESPN PQ has been excellent. Hope they don't do anything to change that. I'd rather see it stay 720 for sports.

As of today, its officially summer.

 

[pdxsam]

As of today, its officially summer.

Summer runs September to November for Dish

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

Sounds like a flaw in your system.

 

[digiblur]

No, I'd say it's a flaw in DishNetwork's system. I was just sent a short clip of ESPNHD. It was only a few frames but it has the ESPNHD bars on the side and was 1440x1080i.

 

[goaliebob99]

Im 100% positive that its not a flaw in the system on digis side. As digi said Echostars side, yes thats a very good possibility. TS Reader has yet to lie, and I have been working with it over two years now. I just wish I was home help you all and give you all answers.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I was just sent the following. Not sure how it was obtained. I do know that the processing rates are not the true bitrate of the channel, but it confirms that ESPN is indeed at 1440 x 1080i.

Didn't Charlie say they send out what they receive?

 

[RandallA]

I don't know guys but I've been watching Discovery HD and Espn HD for a few minutes and they don't look as sharp as before. Hopefully this is just temporary, right Dish Network?

 

[Smith P.]

Strange reports, Scott. What program used ? Where is info about compression type of video part ?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I dont know it was sent to me. I dont know anything about it.

Oh boy, that doesn't sound good. I shudder just thinking about what the word, "temporary" means to E*.

OK, Sgt. Schultz. "I know nothing".

Compression type is still MPEG2 I would assume... can 811, 942, etc users confirm?

 

[dfergie]

14612 - KNME3 moved from EchoStar7 119W TP 05 Texas beam to EchoStar10 110W TP 27 Spotbeam 31 (NA)
and from JohnH at Dbstalk
14612 KNME3 MOVED FROM Tp 5s10 on EchoStar 7 at 119w
TO Tp 27 Spotbeam 31 from New Braunfels for EchoStar 10 at 110w
KNME is a NM PBS channel, maybe linked to Texas?

These channels still coming through on the 921...

If it were not MPEG2, all the DBS sites would be extremely busy.
