You should have never let ILS handle the launch of your uplink program!!

You'll just half to wait till I get the bugs out after the rewrite. About 85% of the program has been redone and it's a TON of source code.

Pun intended

Added "News!" 9450 at 110W.

Hidden.

BTW, I see that there is an HD Boxing PPV.

Is that the first HD Sports PPV for Dish ?

No, they've had HD PPV Boxing before. They've also had HD PPV WWE but I guess that's considered entertainment and not sports.

 

[kstuart]

FOX NEWS?

No, that would more likely be "FXNWS" just like the SD channel.

More likely to be a Dish Network slate (exspecially with the exclamation mark in the name):

More HD Channels coming soon!

The only other possibility is that E! has launched a 24 hour gossip news channel in HD.

Could I have a wrapup of the activity? JohnH isn't online yet at DBSTalk.

Why MPEG2 ???

 

[BigTimMN]

Dish does the UFC events in HD PPV as well.

 

[db2]

Why MPEG2 ???

Could be a slate announcing that Mpeg2HD channels will be going dark and that customers will need an Mpeg4HD box, etc.

now that makes sense!

Took the words right out of my mouth... check the TP it is on too. I'm betting it is a MPEG2 SD stream flagged as HD so the SD receivers don't see it.

There was a proposal to Digi make it practically automated. But his lack of free time for the hobby struggle him to fix bugs in old manual process.

Actually, there is holding request for SW developers ( I would say MS Access would be sufficient, but MySQL or SQL are more robust for the processing; PHP, Perl is OK too ).
Each new version of all channels (SDT) parsed and produced CSV file with numbers,names, flags, etc.
The task would be take 2 tables - last and any previous, compare them and make output like Digi's scrip doing: moves/deletes/adds/changes/etc.

Any taker ?
