[Scott Greczkowski]

Those are yesterday moves, John H PM'ed me with them yesterday but I was mobile yesterday and was unable to cut and paste them.

I am HOPING for a LOT of activity today.

 

[JohnH]

The 7778 FOX was added to provide WNYW to the Caribbean for the World Series since the local affiliate(WSJX) is not allowed to carry the game. (International area).

 

[VinceT3]

Well thats lame. (in reference to the World Series)

 

[minnow]

If E* doesn't want to lose a boatload of current customers to the competition within the next 45 days, they'd better get real busy, real fast fininishing off the remaining DMA's.

 

[JohnH]

Sad part is, the competition will not be able to help many of them.

Yep.. I figured as much. I was just preparing for today's run.

9462 - FOOD moved from 61.5W TP 20 to 61.5W TP 22 (A)

Hmmmm...last week HGHD moves from TP 22 to TP 2, now FOODHD moves from TP 20 to 22. That leaves only the Demo Channel on TP 20. Quite a vacancy.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yup, I would not be surprised to see FOOD HD flip to true MPEG4.

Not a single complaint about HGTV HD when it flipped fromMPEG2 to MPEG4 last week. To me that says a lot.

 

[psumattDE]

Yeah, I think the only other TP22 entries are ESPN2-HD and NAT GEO-HD.

I haven't had any problems with HGHD going to MPEG4 - but for some reason the pic seems a slight bit softer - but nothing to gripe about.

So, that more or less leaves 2 open spots on TP20 for HD channels. (I know INHD was previously uplinked to TP20)

And still no HD RSN's to be seen

 

[Juan]

And still no HD RSN's to be seen

i believe the HD RSN's are gonna be like the Sports Alt Channels. Availble for a specific game then disapear.. some day they will just show up in the guide with out any advance uplink activity notice

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

From what I know thats the way that it is going to work.

 

[Poke]

Yeah not all of the RSN game are HD so that would make sense and the HGTVHD and FoodHD always seem to look really good..

 

[JohnH]

Getting channels to pop into and out of the EPG is not a smooth thing.

Digiblur, look at Channel 84 in your receiver's EPG and start working on the activity program again.

They added local channel 84 to 222 HSN.

 

[oswald]

Hi,

Some of those are Bozeman-Butte locals. How long (historically) does it take from the time they are uplinked to when Dish provides the locals? Just looking for an estimate. Thanks!

i wonder howmuch HSN is paying Charlie for that!!!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Only thing I know is this...

? Standard-definition Local Markets to launch by the end of 2006:
- Bangor, Maine
- Butte-Bozeman, Montana
- Dothan, Alabama
- Harrisonburg, Virginia
- Palm Springs, CA

 

[JohnH]

All of them are uplinked now.
