Whats the 30200's!

 

[Drone35]

Not much going on, huh Scott! Don't ya just hate when thing's get like this, no new good software updates, no more news on mpeg4, no new HD channels, no more of nothing! Dish is getting pretty stale!

 

[RandallA]

"Dish is getting pretty stale!" or Dish is getting ready to sell.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I think of it as the calm before the storm.

 

[alexgmny]

I think of it as the calm before the storm.

Does that mean that you know that something will be happening soon????

Can you tell us?

 

[Cyclone]

The storm is everyone's reaction to his comment.

I just want the Balt EPG sub-ch info back. I did notice that I had really bad break ups on Food-HD & HGTV-HD last night. I wonder if they are doing more MPEG4 tweaking.

Still, what could be in the pipline for Dish?

1) New 622 Software. Pip changes, HD Guide changes, etc.
2) Support for Ext Hard Drives
3) Dish Online ViP support
4) Additional HD channels (MHD, RSNs etc.)

 

[Bountykiller]

What are the ppp's ? Scott, no rumors on new HD ?

-B

 

[kenny911]

Since we got A&E hd, I doubt we will be getting anything new for a while.

"I did notice that I had really bad break ups on Food-HD & HGTV-HD last night. I wonder if they are doing more MPEG4 tweaking".

I noticed a lot of breaks as well especially on ESPN-HD during the CBB games.
I Checked the signal strenght and some transponders were in the mid-fifties while others were mid-eighties to 100%. I wondered if that was normal.

Same here last nite ESPNHD was unwatchable so much studdering during CBB, but the transponder was at 98 for me. Must of been on E* end, because Comcast was fine.

I had the same problem during the UF - Tenn game on ESPNHD. I really noticed it the most during commercials though so it didn't really hinder me from watching the game.

 

[KyDave]

Whats the 30200's!

Hmmm, maybe a new EPG with subchannel info? Mere speculation, of course. The only other stuff listed in the 30,000 range on the dish channel chart are the 44 hour EPG (36861) and the 9 day EPG (36862).

 

[Derwin0]

I just want the Balt EPG sub-ch info back.

Same here, I hate guessing what Fox 45's GoodTV sub-channel is showing. Also be nice if they added all the MPT's stations, since I get Owings Mill instead of Anapolis.

We are barely getting anything new With A&E HD !!

 

[JohnH]

Since this activity is at least 1 day old, you can likely expect some which actually occurs today.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I'm ready for it. :

 

[navychop]

I hope it's a storm of activity (releases) and not a "destructive" storm of bad news.

 

[Snake Plissken]

FOOD HD and HGTV HD were stuttering audio and video last night for me as well in South Carolina.

Are we getting close to the sunspot-activitiy-satellite-signal-disturbance time of year yet? or was this something else?
