Minneapolis Locals

We are in Alabama for the winter and have been getting the Minneapolis locals for the last few months off the 129 Sat.I have not had them the last three days and wondering will I not be able to get them anymore? Thanks

I guess I always thought the uplink stated the Call Letters and what network it was. Guess not. Well yes a nice feature then.

No you will not get them in Alabama.

WWMT MPEG4 HD???

Is this just an uplink or has Dish got an agreement with them? Having CBS in Grand Rapids before march madness would be great

So far, just an uplink attempt. Check Retailer chat recap for the most up to date info on availability.

GR HD locals already live on 61.5. The retailer chat recap doesn't address those they are mirroring on 129 Ciel-2. I noticed WWMT HD too. I haven't done the 61.5 dish yet, so GR HD locals on 129 is a good thing.

Awesome thanks for the update.. .... they finally moved the LA locals!

None.

So is all the switching and testing pretty much done and we're just waiting for Dish to add more channels or is there more to do? In other words are we officially at the point where Dish COULD add more national HD if they wanted to but are not?

SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - 2/11/2009 8:34am - 67 changes

Uplink Comparison Range: 02/10/2009 11:47P - 02/11/2009 07:05A



Channel Moves:
4547 - WWMT [MPEG4 HD] moved from Ciel-2 129W TP 15 Spotbeam 22 to Ciel-2 129W TP 13 Spotbeam 22 (NA)(Kalamazoo, MI-CBS)

Channels in the system: 6504
(A) = Available to subscribers
(NA) = Not Available
(H) = Hidden from non-subscribers

So does this mean in the VERY near Future this channel will be going Live in HD.

 

[alebowgm]

No, it just means the channel moved transponders on Spotbeam 22... it has nothing to do with the channel going live... there are many channels that get uplinked for testing purposes and are never turned on for a variety a reasons... look at posts in regards to the YES network for more detail...

Is this the only uplink report for today?

 

[RandallA]

Is this the only uplink report for today?

They're probably done for the day and already went home. Just kidding, I was expecting the normal flag changes and weekly report today but it looks like they're late or have nothing to change.

 

[alebowgm]

These reports are automated, its not like JohnH or Digiblur are holding back on something... if there is another change, you will see it when it happens...

 

[jhusted]

That would be nice!! I'm about 2 seconds away from calling Direct TV and getting their service so I can have this channel in HD.....

 

[digiblur]

Any chance we could see this enhancement in TheList?

As of last night the affiliation data is being sent to qwert1515 in the file that is FTP'd to the site for TheList. I know he's working on adding the clickable beam maps to TheList right now, so I did stack him up with work

 

[Paradox-SJ]

The LIL for the San Francisco/San Jose DMA are on 119....do you think they will be moved to the new bird?

What other DMA's have LIL on 119?

 

[jldhawk]

Nice to see the Sioux City, Ia locals coming in March in HD. I will finally be able to take down that ugly antenna off my roof.
