Uplink Activity Report - 7/16/2008 1:18pm - 28 changes

[JohnH]

does anyone know what this is


36854 - DNL10 [143] added to EchoStar8 110W TP 21 ConUS beam (A)

Usually they are software download channels.

 

[Smith P.]

And those DNLxx are not a channels, just digital stream with software. Shouldn't be in uplink reports for avoid such questions, IMO.

 

[danknapp76]

wonder what 376 would have been... Mojo?

Channel Removals:
376 - TMP5 (NA) removed from EchoStar3 61.5W TP 32 ConUS beam
376 - TMP5 (NA) removed from EchoStar5 129W TP 07 ConUS beam
5370 - TMP5 (NA) removed from EchoStar3 61.5W TP 32 ConUS beam
5370 - TMP5 (NA) removed from EchoStar5 129W TP 07 ConUS beam

whatever it was, it looks like it is now ActionMAX HD

So are we certain Mojo is off the table?

 

[Smith P.]

And HIDEF actually wasn't deleted/moved - just changed channel number.

 

[Peter Parker]

I bet it is the channel that was up a few weeks ago. They screwed up and it showed up on the EPG, even for people that weren't supposed to get it.

It just informs subs that new HD LIL is now on in their area.

that sounds likea good guess.

 

[Jim S.]

I knew it was coming, but gee, I don't even ever watch Discovery Green in SD.

 

[tinydoughboy]

yes you could say that!!! LOL

 

[Sponge14]

What are the 2 national HD's that went live?

No clue, that's why I thought I would ask... channel 376 would put it between smithsonian and HDNet Movies; so that could have made sense.... but who know? Anyone?

merriam-webster to the rescue:
channel - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
d: a means of communication or expression: as (1): a path along which information (as data or music) in the form of an electrical signal passes

 

[Smith P.]

Not enough, the dictionary can't catch latests meanings.
So, for the uplink report a channel is a digital stream with audio or video/audio.

Probably the only thing that caught my attention was the CBS C and the Cinemax addition (yup the penny deal). Im surprised, I havent seen a lot of posts w/ people talking about CBS C in HD I think its underrated.

Nahh... I talked to the uplink guy today. He said they deleted it and added it right back to 75.

Digi. Did the uplink guy say how crazy things are at Dish right now???

 

[neadisher]

4194(194) - GREEN [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5W TP 21 ConUS beam (NA)
5190(12) - KBMT [MPEG4 HD] - Echostar12 61.5W TP 09 Area 3 beam changed to Available (H)(Beaumont, TX)
5193(64) - KUIL [MPEG4 HD] - Echostar12 61.5W TP 09 Area 3 beam changed to Available (H)

Digiblur,

Is this a error in the report or did Dish get Echostar12 launched without any one knowing?

 

[Smith P.]

That's what that guy from uplink booth told him.

EchoStar 12 is the name given to Rainbow 1 after EchoStar bought it.

Your definition is too narrow and would try to limit the scope of the report. Channel 100 for instance.

 

[Smith P.]

Umm, are there no video/audio for the ch 100 ?

OK, lets widening that 'too narrow' definition - and ability of IRD/DVR to see/select the channel in EPG/EEPG.

CBS College Sports-HD will be exciting this fall when college Basketball starts and there will be HD sports on the channel.
