New Spot Beam breakfast cereal ... with more raisins per scoop !

 

[Derwin0]

Looks like the spotbeaming of 61.5 has begun. I'll have to check my signal levels on the Washington HD locals when I get home.

 

[mattopia]

Looks like locals, but NOT Cleveland. :\

 

[digiblur]

Wow! We have channel names! Obviously this report will take some hand editing due to the not avail/avail anamoly. I am mobile right now and can not edit it well.

Can someone breakdown the markets here? Thanks.

 

[ClevelandRob]

Of course not.

 

[Derwin0]

HD Locals added to 61.5 Spotbeam 2 (somebody up there likes Florida)
Orlando, FL
Naples/Ft. Myers, FL
West Palm Beach, FL

HD Locals on 61.5 moved from CONUS to Spotbeam 5
Philadelphia, PA
Washington, DC

HD Locals moved from 118k to 61.5 Spotbeam 2
Raleigh/Durham, NC

*note* is Spotbeam 2 so big that it reaches Raleigh and Florida?

 

[ClevelandRob]

looks like Raleigh and Fort Meyers/Central Florida

and a couple DC and Philly feeds.

Looks like Florida got it.

The 5160's are Orlando area stations
The 5170's are Ft. Myer's area stations
The 5180's are West Palm Beach area stations

 

[Derwin0]

These are all existing channels moved to spots right? Nothing new?

The Florida Locals are new.
Raleigh kinda sorta would be, as it was on 118 and never turned on before. We'll have to see if these are turned on.

 

[darrencp22]

?6356(29) - WTXF Echostar12 61.5W TP 11 ConUS beam MPEG4 HD changed to (MAP:{29~}) WTXF - Echostar12 61.5 TP 11 Spotbeam 5? MPEG4 HD
6356(29) - WTXF [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5W TP 11 ConUS beam (Available)

Seems like a contradiction.

 

[brownover]

All of the Raleigh locals were turned on in 07. What is interesting about this is that dish will have to add an additional dish for all hd subscribers for the 61.5 satellite.

 

[rfischer4073]

How long does it take normally for the local channels to become available after they are uplinked?


Thanks for the info.


Rick

 

[darrencp22]

Could be 1 day, could be 2 years. Because we know these are hot initiatives i'd be optismstic. But you never know.

ah, ok.
Hopefully the Raleigh people were given 61.5 instead of 129 when they were set up with a 1000+. Otherwise some people have lost their locals.
But since the report shows it as Not Available on both, probably some angry people either way.

 

[digiblur]

Read back on my post...the older Raleigh locals should still be available.

Also, the TID assignments are guesses right now. Please note the question mark after the Spotbeam number.

Check TheList if you have any questions of the lay out.

 

[darrencp22]

Eastern Arc?

 

[teamlazyboy]

I'm a little confused are these newly added HD markets or just newly added to the 61.5

6353(6) - WPVI [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5W TP 11 ConUS beam (Available)
6354(3) - KYW [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5 TP 11 Spotbeam 5? (Available)
6355(10) - WCAU [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5W TP 11 ConUS beam (Available)
6356(29) - WTXF [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5W TP 11 ConUS beam (Available)
6359(7) - WJLA [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5W TP 05 ConUS beam (Available)
6360(9) - WUSA [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5 TP 05 Spotbeam 5? (Available)
6361(4) - WRC [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5 TP 05 Spotbeam 5? (Available)
6362(5) - WTTG [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5W TP 05 ConUS beam (Available)

If they are newly added markets then good deal, at least we know there's some life at Dish....if they're just 'moved' to 61.5 then its another ho hum report

 

[darrencp22]

No it's interesting regardless because we're seeing the Eastern Arc plan come to be and the clean up necessarily to launch more HD locals.

 

[tigerfan33]

lol. Alot of people are making sure of their local station call letters.
