Uplink Report: July 12 2006

9850 kbs is that the "pi" version?

Yes, it is. But JohnH has his report as, Ch. 9850 added to 118.7, not 119. I guess Scott should double check since I highly doubt this channel would be added to 119.

 

[JohnH]

That would correlate with it being on 121w

So NGHD is available to who now?

 

[JohnH]

The existing Sports ALTernates lost the numerical protion of their names. Same thing happened to the SKDL channels which are not seen by subscribers anyway.

So NGHD is available to who now?

People who have the Gold HD package.

Probably a gold thing now.

People who have the Gold HD package.

And above, I hope...

Naturally.

You are correct 118.7 not 119 for KBS.

My appologies.

My appologies.

Are you going to edit the original post, though? BTW, why is Darkman posting on the other site? Is he banned from posting here or something? It's weird how you guys are "communicating".

Now he posting here under other nick .

Hi there folks. As GoalieBob gets ready to serve our country I am taking a practice shot of doing the uplink report for this week.

My thanks to Digiblur for the help.

Here we go!

....SNIP....

Not too bad for it's first run! I'm actually impressed with own work I see it needs a little tweaking but I figured that.

I'll also change the report to show the time stamps of the two compared NIT's.

 

[digiblur]

Scott, when I re-ran the report this afternoon it now shows like JohnH posted on the 280's.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I will try it again tonight and see what it comes up with. It did say that KBS was added to 119 when it was actually added to 118.7 and it is listed as 118 in the NIT.

I see the problem and when I get a chance I'll fix the few bugs in the reporting engine. They didn't pop up when I was building it since I only had last weeks little uplink activity to test with.

Great job on the reports Digiblur! Thanks for all the hard work.

See ya

Folks in case you don't know whats going on, SatelliteGuys member DigiBlur has designed us a Semi Automatic uplink reporting tool.

This software allows us to quickly process the NIT and find changes made to the uplink. The software is currently at Alpha 4 but it looking really good. It has some minor tweeking needed but is almost ready for primetime.

It is my goal in the future to dedicate one of my old laptops to constantly monitor and report changes to the datastream and make it automated so that when Dish makes changes to their channels we see it almost instantly here at SatelliteGuys.

I was like a kid in a candy store today waiting for something to happen at the uplink just so I could try his new tool which he designed for us.

Our thanks go to Digiblur for his hard work on this new tool.

 

[Smith P.]

Hey guys not so fast ! Processing SDTs is NOT that final stage for report ACTIVITY !

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

We know thats why he is working on Alpha 5.

 

[Smith P.]

digi, if you don't mind - what's elementary steps involved in getting the reports ?
Skip that dish/LNBF/HHmotor/switch/TH102G/TSreader (am I right ?) ... after that ? manual start, record PID 0011h ...
