That's right keep it clean. "Master of My Domain"

Duh. Read the legend.

Not sure why the implication (Duh) that one is dumb since they did not read the legend. This is very confusing to those of us who are not Satellite verbiage experts.

There appears to be some activity with the TMP channels:

9428 TMP A: HBO HD
9471 TMP D: STARZ HD
9473 TMP F: HDNET
9475 TMP H: HDNMW
9476 TMP I: NFL HD
9480 TMP M: TNT HD
9481 TMP N: HIST HD
9495 TMP T: CBS C HD

 

[drummerguy]

I think the recap said KCPQ and KTXL are coming. They obviously struck a deal with Tribune to get WGN America and others.

I wonder if such a deal with Tribune is a good sign for Indianapolis locals (the Fox and CW affiliates here are owned by them). Dish already has the deal with LIN for the CBS affiliate -- just two others to go (not sure who owns them).

 

[Smith P.]

It's just mirror feeds for warm up TWTA and tweak encoders.

9481 TMP N: HIST HD

Could these be MPEG-4 versions??

If so, what about ESPN, isn't it still MPEG-2??

 

[kstuart]

It's just mirror feeds for warm up TWTA and tweak encoders.

But the need to do so, indicates another seven new national HD channels "SOON".

 

[Smith P.]

Could be.

Addidtion to first post:

148W:
tp 8 and 10 changed to 8PSK
tp 31 removed from SI.

 

[tigerfan33]

Could these be MPEG-4 versions??

If so, what about ESPN, isn't it still MPEG-2??

I think History, Starz and NFL are already MPEG4 hd

 

[danknapp76]

But the need to do so, indicates another seven new national HD channels "SOON".

Hmmm...so we could be looking at CBS Sports plus 7 more warming up?

How many are in the Viacom HD lineup?

9481 TMP N: HIST HD
9495 TMP T: CBS C HD

I'm hoping this is from an engineering receiver of Echostar/DishNetwork brand and not some other foreign receiver.

 

[RandallA]

Could these be MPEG-4 versions??

and HD Theater and Showtime HD are MPEG-2 too but you might be onto something here.

For those concerned about Sacramento and Tacoma FOX, it's the real thing:

Thanks John

S~

 

[JEFFinINDY]

I wonder if such a deal with Tribune is a good sign for Indianapolis locals (the Fox and CW affiliates here are owned by them). Dish already has the deal with LIN for the CBS affiliate -- just two others to go (not sure who owns them).

Indy wasn't on the list in the Charlie Chat even for the Fall. Doesn't look good. I don't know how long they can ignore such a large market (Cincy too).

 

[flyingsquirrel]

What were Temp K, L and O?

 

[Hall]

I'm hoping this is from an engineering receiver of Echostar/DishNetwork brand....

If they are, he/she is certainly breaking "internal" agreements or policies.

 

[Rey]

Only midnight ... in a bed .

lol!

 

[clapple]

Sweet! Smallville in HD this fall.

I don't think so. Smallville id on tonight; but not on this WGN.

 

[JohnH]

WGN America is not a CW affiliate.

WGN9 Chicago is a CW affiliate and is not available outside the Chicago Market.
