[digiblur]

This should answer a lot of questions for folks in the markets launching June 3rd.

 

[kstuart]

5349 - TMP63 [MPEG4 HD] added to Ciel-2 129W TP 20 ConUS beam (NA)
5349 - TMP63 [MPEG4 HD] added to Nimiq5 72.7W TP 03 ConUS beam (NA)

That is Galavision.

213 is the new Weather channel.

However, some weird anamolies.

Why:

Transponder Changes:
EchoStar7 119W TP 07 Spotbeam 4 21500 8PSK 5/6 added

when it was just moved to EchoStar14 ? Is that a digisat glitch ?

Why is KEYT added as "5270" and unavailable, when it is already available as 5280 ?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

DISH has dropped The Weather Channel for the new Weathercast Channel.

How am I going to wake up without Al?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Announcement by DISH on the dropping of The Weather Channel.

http://www.dishnetwork.com/weather/

 

[kstuart]

Local Univision HD added to Miami, L.A., San Diego, Denver and Fresno (not yet available).

Telefutura local HD added to two markets (look for TEL above) (not yet available).

 

[Mr Tony]

yep looks like DIsh is going to fill in the short markets with the rest of the Big 4

 

[sundude90]

I don't understand this move:

6520(7) - WVII [MPEG2 SD] added to EchoStar10 110W TP 25 Spotbeam 08 (NA)(Bangor, ME-ABC)
6522(2) - WLBZ [MPEG2 SD] added to EchoStar10 110W TP 25 Spotbeam 08 (NA)(Bangor, ME-NBC)

This channels already there & have been for couple years now. I don't get it.

Josh

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I just checked the two TMP channels added and both of them are just displaying the DishHD logo playing music.

 

[kstuart]

Why is KEYT added as "5270" and unavailable, when it is already available as 5280 ?

I think they are using STELA to add it to Monterey, which is currently missing an ABC, and has 527x numbering.
So, if true, that means that The List has to be modified to take into account channels being duplicated in neighboring DMAs.

 

[Mr Tony]

I don't understand this move:

6520(7) - WVII [MPEG2 SD] added to EchoStar10 110W TP 25 Spotbeam 08 (NA)(Bangor, ME-ABC)
6522(2) - WLBZ [MPEG2 SD] added to EchoStar10 110W TP 25 Spotbeam 08 (NA)(Bangor, ME-NBC)

This channels already there & have been for couple years now. I don't get it.

Josh

Presque Isle "fill in"

Look here
http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist...0&sub=true&beamMap=E10_SB8.jpg&sort=TP&order=

channels 6520-6524 are for Presue Isle
6520 ABC Bangor
6521 WAGM
6522 NBC Bangor
6523 WAGM Fox
6524 PBS

They are being added but just duplicates (remaps) so no extra bandwidth. Those locals will be mapped to 2,7,8,10,16 (16 being Fox)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

This channels already there & have been for couple years now. I don't get it.

Brining in locals for DMA's which are missing channels. Just like the cable companies do.

Thank you Stela!

5349 - TMP63 [MPEG4 HD] added to Ciel-2 129W TP 20 ConUS beam (NA)
5349 - TMP63 [MPEG4 HD] added to Nimiq5 72.7W TP 03 ConUS beam (NA)

Galavision HD? Really nice to see that PBS is being added in some markets.

 

[kstuart]

WeatherCast HD version is not available for Dish Latino HD (which does have Weather Channel HD).

Is this visible to those of you with English HD packages ? Channel 4805 with mapdown to 213 ?

 

[kstuart]

Announcement by DISH on the dropping of The Weather Channel.

DISH Network - The Weather Channel Programming Updates - 1.800.823.4929

Wow - I thought Dish is on good terms with NBC/Universal ?

Perhaps they are not on such good terms with Comcast ??

 

[Mr Tony]

Couple interesting notes on "fill in" networks

9381(7) - KFXF [MPEG2 SD] added to EchoStar10 110W TP 26 Spotbeam 46 Cheyenne (NA)(Fairbanks, AK-FOX)

This is for Juneau...Cable gets Anchorage Fox (as does most of the state)

6530(3) - KOTA [MPEG2 SD] added to EchoStar10 110W TP 26 Spotbeam 33 (NA)(Rapid City, SD-ABC)
6533(7) - KEVN [MPEG2 SD] added to EchoStar10 110W TP 26 Spotbeam 33 (NA)(Rapid City, SD-FOX)

These are for Glendive. NBC is a translator station from Bismarck, ND. Cable gets Fox & ABC from Denver...interesting they get Rapid City

 

[sundude90]

Ohh, I understand. Wow, I am surprised. I thought they would be launching Presque Isles on 119. I didn't think they had that much room on that spotbeam 8. Probably will decrease the PQ for all of us now.

I am guessing its just a mirror so its not using any more bandwidth.

 

[Mr Tony]

Dish can get 12 SD locals on a TP

TP25 has 8 (the 2 dupes today are not taking bandwidth) and TP23 has 13 but IIRC PBS in Maine is statewide right?

TP25 is only FEC 1/2 so they can't get as many channels on it as the FEC of 5/6

Also to answer another question you might have when Dish maps subchannels they usually are labelled the number of the digital channel. If the station moved back to their old analog number at digital conversion, Dish uses the "old" digital number.

That is why your Fox station is mapped as 16 and Mankato, MN (my market) is mapped as 38 since both main stations moved to their old analog spot

I am guessing its just a mirror so its not using any more bandwidth.

correct

Dish can put up one stream of the channel and use 500 channel numbers if they want. That is what they do for Ion markets on Dish. If its the national feed they uplink one channel and remap it 40 some odd times
