Well, 9440 is HBOHD at 148w and 9443 is The HD Demo at 61.5w. The SOON channels are in the 5800s. They must be playing games with the numbers.
Could they be program numbers?

 

[BlackHitachi]

My numbers are as followed.

9948 soon4
9942 soon2
9940 soon
9947 soon3


My 9440 is my HBO HD from 148 sat.

Here are screencaps...

Why would they put a new HDTV channel in the PI range?

That's is too good!

Those must be more "virtual" channels, though it's odd that they have the same numbers as some actual channels. If I recall, you cannot tune directly to channel 944x to watch the "program" that the "on demand" menu lists.

These are not the same numbers as actual channels. HD channels are in the 9400 range. These are in the 9900 range.

D'oh, I was reading from those who were mentioning HBO-HD and others. I guess a whole bunch of us are dyslexic !

... between 3 - 5 a.m this morning. My receiver was turned off during the night.

Mine restarted itself at approx 4AM. I just happened to be up not feeling too well. As I was walking past the 622 on way back to bed, I heard the fan spool up as it restarted.

Believe it or not ALMA is also a station coming from Kazakhstan. Maybe it is a HD PI channel specializing in Spanish soul from southwesternl asia.

 

[bowens]

Hopefully it's not this station from Kazakhstan.

Yeah, I saw that as soon as the uplink report was posted.

It's not an HD channel and it's not in the HD channel range.

Thanks for the heads up JohnH...

Uplink Comparison Range: 02/22/2007 01:10A - 02/23/2007 05:32P - (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)

5890 - MP271 added to EchoStar5 129W TP 27 ConUS beam (Not Available)

Channels in the system: 3181
(A) = Available
(NA) = Not Available

5890 is an encrypted MPEG4 channel running at a constant bit rate just shy of 8 mbps. It's sitting right next to A&E-HD and UNI-HD that are running in MPEG2 mode. I'm assuming they are testing a mix of MPEG2 and MPEG4 channels on the same TP.

 

[kstuart]

Then I would guess that "MP271" = MPEG test on Transponder 27 - channel one ???

 

[Smith P.]

MPEG-1 not the channel 1.
