I overlooked that there are 15 Fast APG PIDs (SCIDs) on TPN 5 for 15 local markets . They are probably not going to convert that TPN to HD. The transponder has been on and off this morning. When up, It has a solid DSS modulated multiplexed digital signal, but there are no audio or video PIDS present. When it is down, there is still a strong DSS QPSK carrier with a SNR of 14.5 dB here in Northern NY. It appears to be fed by random noise. My guess is that they are making changes or repairing equipment in the multiplexors or other equipment in the chain of electronics feeding the uplink transmitter.
I corrected a typo. 15 local markets
