Uplink Activity for Wed July 19th 2006

THe way things are going between Israel and Lebanon you might not get out then

Honestly I dont see us going there.. if we do it would be apart of a nato/UN thing. So we wouldnt be the only ones. It mostlikely would be a mixture of us, the brittish, japs, and a few other countrys. I think that the bush admin is wanting isreal to take care of it themselfs.

One thing I wonder is I thought when we read the release from the FCC regarding the voom sale, it said the FCC gave the STA tps 23 & 24 to dish, but dish has yet to use them, so I wonder if that's not the case....

There were certain subscriber notifications required when using those transponders. Something like they had to tell them the channels could be terminated at any time if the transponders were assigned to someone else. Usage would probably be a last resort thing.

How about Food Network HD?

Actually, the clamoring should start happening for the CW HD feed (New Smallville in HD!)

 

[pdxsam]

WPIX and KTLA will both be CW stations.. add them in HD and it's all good.

 

[BobMurdoch]

Actually, that brings up an interesting point..... They can add those two and KWGN and cover 3 out of 4 of the time zones in the country with an HD feed for Superstations subscribers.

Would the rules that allow them to broadcast those stations apply to the HD feeds as well....?

 

[pdxsam]

I'm sure the rules would but how much would they want for HD Retransmission.

That's the stickler.

Goaliebob99, Thanks for all you have done for this site. But I really want to thank you for your service to our country. Even though everyone has their own political views. I think everyone agrees that we just want you and all our military to come home safe! Sorry for getting off topic.

I agree completely and we will will miss your informative posts.

God Bless You, Dolfan

Friday uplink activity

240 - TST45 added to 119.0W TP 13
250 - TST46 added to 119.0W TP 16
253 - TST47 added to 119.0W TP 17

Im checking in to this right now

 

[JohnH]

Each one has a couple of mirrors which are not in the system. They are encrypted. Not much info available.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I have a feeling this has something to do with Mondays Emergency Retailer Chats which is something to do with distant networks.

 

[goaliebob99]

Looks like these are place holders for maybe the WC? or UPN? Or a Distant Network campaign. They fit up there right along with the distant network stations.... Right now im hearing (anon pm) they have the dish logo up but I cant confirm or deny that.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Bob I cant see CW or My Network to be on the 0 numbered channels (240, 250) If dish had an injunction issued in the distant networks they would have 48 business hours to comply.

It looks like they are going to comply.

I was only speculating, It does make sence, you would think the CW would just magically replace the wb at there current place holders when it launches later on this summer.

 

[lakebum431]

So what are we saying here? We think distant nets are going down the tubes?

 

[jcrandall]

It looks like they are going to comply.

Are you thinking a slate explaining removal of channels, etc?

 

[BFG]

Comply with what? Have then been order to remove them yet?

 

[JohnH]

The mirrors are adjacent to Denver and Atlanta, Austin and Portland, OR and Phoenix and Richmond

Seem to be just spread out through the locals.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Man you guys are supposed to be the channel guys. ;D

Take a look at the picture below (I edited Tony's Chat from DishChannelChart.COM)

I think it tells a bigger picture....
