I would think it is the authorization database that needs to be fixed, for significantly-viewed.WHOA. Austin and San Antonio have shared a UPN station for FIVE YEARS. One station available in two markets doesn't mean anything about signficantly-viewed. The station must have signed a contract with their program providers to clear copyrights for both markets, and then the station would have signed a contract with DirecTV to carry the station in both markets.And Dayton is so special? I am in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. It is all about me, and we definitely should be first.It was an internal memo. Then again, there was expectation that the FCC would have actually issued these signficantly-viewed rules prior to the end of last week.
Remember that signficantly-viewed stations are those that get 3 percent of the viewing audience using an antenna. Since that 1972 list, most people get their OTA stations from another source. It is getting harder and harder to find people to fill out the survey to add stations to the list.
moqz1001 said:uhhuh, if had to get it launched, and are running behind schedule, then why has the dayton dma been able to get an out of dma upn staion ? the reason is cause they have had the ability, and programming capabality for a year + but no action to implement it for more areas
LonghornXP said:I'm trying to find out why it hasn't launched yet. I still haven't heard back yet but I'll post when I do.
Other than the counties specifically mentioned in the SHVIA (the four in New Hampshire that can receive WMUR and the two in southern Mississippi that can receive both Baton Rouge and Jackson locals), signficantly-viewed has not been given to anyone, yet. To state that any foul-up has occured before the start of service is extremely short-sighted. You should start the blame game after the remainder of signifcantly-viewed has been implemented.O YEA i forgot you personally spoke to the owner of the cincy station huh,, I did and thats why i know this is directv's foul up and not the fcc's ...
Sure. Let's talk about facts...and yes it is the uplink facility, because the day our dayton locals were turned on, my reciever would not get them, so had to reboot it, and then upn itself would not come on, so i called the station and was 3 way calling with him to the uplink facility, and told them they failed to add my zipcode to the aloowed to view upn from cincy, so that is h9ow i know what i am talking about ... facts not your fiction

LonghornXP said:Scott was right and SV channels won't be rolled out until they get enough supply of the new 5LNB dish. It also seems that the triple LNB dish will be phased out shortly for the 5LNB dish. As was said by Scott and I don't doubt many others many customers will need a dish upgrade and they don't want to upgrade a customer for free twice for a few months difference time.

jhamps10 said:hey guys, what's everyone's thought on the SV site not able to show anything. maybe they are adding the info, but not the channels yet? just a thought, do I think that's happening, maybe, or maybe not.
Scott Greczkowski said:I just got word from one of my DirecTV contacts that the SV upgrade has been suspended indefinately in certain areas (based on Zip code)
The reason for this is the fact that in some markets to get SV channels a customer would need to upgrade their Dish. DirecTV does not want to upgrade them to a triple sat dish then a few months later have to go oout there and upgrade them to the new 5 Satellite square dish.
My contact is working on getting me a list of which areas this affects, when I get it, I will post it.
