Uplink Activity Report - 11/4/2008 4:02pm - 1 change

[HDRoberts]

The hard part is getting everything wired up and running in the backround.

That's what I meant. If a lot of stuff is going to 110, a lot of moving of existing programming needs to be done, (so I think, at least).

For Dish to do an uplink change its basically mergeing an excel file into an exisiting excel file. They don't take long to do. (From what I understand its basically the push of a button)

Every time I read your posts now I imagine that super duper "radio DJ voice" combined with that cold you had in that podcast.

It's really quite funny.

Nope all the changes in the backround (wiring) are always done before they make the software uplink changes available to the receivers.

Connecticut School of Broadcasting worked for me!

(Well no I didn't go there, but drove by it a few times)

+1 The radio DJ voice coming out for the special guest was absolutely epic.

That...and the internal debate on what fake names to use on the uplinks to screw with all of us reading the uplink reports (or whether to just reuse HDPPV again).

LOL

YAHHHH MAN I HAVE 2 MONTH WAITING 4 NEW HD CHANNELS

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Hey who knows, in perhaps election day is a holiday at Dish Network and the uplink is delayed a day.

You never know... this IS Dish Network we are talking about.

 

[HDRoberts]

My change of avatar today shows what I'm looking for. Of course, aside from the logo I found, there is no evidence that channel exists in HD.

 

[kstuart]

Note that Wednesday updates - some large - have often come late in the day.

 

[GameOn]

I think Dish "fell forward" this past weekend (instead of "fall back")!!

 

[Dugout Doug]

ahhh, we have seen major uplinks as late as 6pm EST.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Most uplinks are done by 5pm ET. However for major changes they do them at 2am. So who knows.

 

[voomvoom]

It's beginning to look a lot like "Friday".....



ummmm........ 2a.m.

 

[cosmo_kramer]

However for major changes they do them at 2am. So who knows.

Especially the MPEG-4 conversions....

 

[tomcrown1]

As my Pappy said NO NEW HD FOR YOU.

 

[HDRoberts]

If you every wondered who put the uplinks together for Dish, I think I found a picture:

He used to run a successful soup restaurant, but when he was forced out of business, he got a job with Dish.

(all in jest, of course)
