Where Did Rochester Go?

[hobie16]

On 2/13 the uplink forum reported 433 moves associated with the new 61.5 sat, the Rochester NY locals were among them:


5260 - WHAM [MPEG4 HD] moved from EchoStar15 61.5W TP 16 ConUS beam to Unknown TID#1521 (Mkt:Rochester, NY-Rochester, NY-ABC) (A) (H)
5261 - WROC [MPEG4 HD] moved from EchoStar15 61.5W TP 16 ConUS beam to Unknown TID#1521 (Mkt:Rochester, NY-Rochester, NY-CBS) (A) (H)
5262 - WHEC [MPEG4 HD] moved from EchoStar15 61.5W TP 16 ConUS beam to Unknown TID#1521 (Mkt:Rochester, NY-Rochester, NY-NBC) (A) (H)
5263 - WUHF [MPEG4 HD] moved from EchoStar15 61.5W TP 16 ConUS beam to Unknown TID#1521 (Mkt:Rochester, NY-Rochester, NY-FOX) (A) (H)
5264 - WXXI [MPEG4 HD] moved from EchoStar15 61.5W TP 16 ConUS beam to Unknown TID#1521 (Mkt:Rochester, NY-Rochester, NY-PBS) (A) (H)

I haven't seen any other info about where they ended up. Anybody know what the final position will be?

I would assume it went from conus to spotbeam. For those legally receiving it the receiver would have made an adjustment to the new location. For those outside the spotbeam it would have disappeared.

They almost certainly went to a spotbeam on E16. (Nobody has figured out the mapping between TID and E16 spotbeams yet.)

 

[dwarren2]

They are on a spot beam now. They come in fine here in the Rochester DMA. They are not showing up on The List

 

[mike123abc]

They are probably at their final location. Eventually the spot beams will be all matched up on the maps.

 

[Mr Tony]

yup they are on TP21 now spotbeam

 

[dwarren2]

Wonder if the OP had "moved to Rochester" to get them as locals. In another thread someone from South America asked the same question.

 

[Mr Tony]

oh I'm sure they did

If you were truly in the Rochester market (or real close to it) you wouldn't be in a panic about the channel moves to spotbeams

 

[dwarren2]

I'm about 25 miles from the Rochester ota antennas and about 55 from Syracuse.

 

[boba]

but you aren't hobie16 asking the question

wish someone would fix the title of this thread.I thought by the title the op was looking for a user named rodhester

TID#1521 is Transponder 21, Spotbeam 51

 

[Teehar]

Ahh,Thanks for fixing the title.

Not everyone is trying to cheat. Actually I am a Rochester DMA for half the year and in an RV the other half. It was nice that Rochester was a conus signal since I didn't have to keep changing my service address to get locals. I am in Corpus Christi right now; when I learned of the new E16 and changes to spot beams, I changed my LNB on my 1000.4 to be a western arc user to get the locals here. I will have to change back when I return to Rochester in May.
I was just curious as to the final location on 61.5.
Thanks for the info
