DNC08?

24/7 coverage of the Democratic National Convention? Don't the news networks do that anyway?

 

[No_Brains]

9636 says INSP
isnt that some type of religous channel like Inspirational Network
i know that i have family who had comcast and they had that channel and switched
to dish network and lost that channel.. if it is INSP the inspirational network i know they will be happy

 

[dhageremtp]

I guess Charlie is voting blue.....

probably because of this

In SD for Dish viewers. I guess 2 channels for MPEG2 HD receivers in 6200 range.

Dish is running 2 special HD Olympics channels that will be no longer be needed a few hours before the Dem Convention starts.

So, it seems probably that the HD feed will start around the end of the Olympics, and will likely be mapped to the same 211 channel number.

Both the 6200 channels are visible in my Guide, and I have vanilla AT250 + Dish-HD Ultimate.

Maybe they are moving the 9000 numbers to 6200 ?

 

[dmendenjr]

Maybe they are moving the 9000 numbers to 6200 ?

Or (wishful thinking) is this the first step in converting the MPEG2 9000 HD channels into MPEG4...

 

[skihoodoo]

i live in oregon and
noticed in the uplink report:
9369(37) - KRCW [MPEG2 SD] - EchoStar10 110W TP 27 Spotbeam 44 changed to Available (H)(Salem, OR)
but it is not viewable for me also the mapdown of that channel is actually 32

also i am curious where this came from i can see WSBK now on channel 38 now i have the SUPERSTATIONS package this is new never seen this mapdown before

 

[js6425]

Why is WSBK being mapped down to local channel range for superstation subscribers?

 

[JohnH]

9369 is in the Yakima market group.

They gave Boston a different type mapdown. Must be an OOPS!!!

They don't need to change the channel number to do that.

They changed the Voom MPEG2-HD channels to MPEG4-HD without changing the numbers.

Actually changing the channel numbers is a bigger change than changing from MPEG2-HD to MPEG4-HD - because all timers would fail because the channel would no longer exist at that number.

I'm pretty sure that the MPEG2-HD to MPEG4-HD change will be finished by September 1st. Probably the reason that it is not yet done is either because a few customers were not yet switched by installers, or more likely, that they are simply waiting for EchoStar 11 to arrive and will put the MPEG4-HD versions straight onto E*11.

Ah, that makes sense. Still learing how to read the uplink tea leaves

 

[MikeD-C05]

I noticed this today myself. It was listed as channel 38 WSBK. I don't know why I already have it at the regular mapped down version of 236.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Where's my locals? I think its past July 30th 2008.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

All national HD in MPEG2 will be converted to MPEG4 by September 14th.

 

[smooth28la]

All national HD in MPEG2 will be converted to MPEG4 by September 14th.

Is it going to be all at once or one by one on different date?

If so, what's the conversion calendar like?

So long Starz VOD. Now missing in the guide (not that there was ever anything worth while in there).

 

[dennispap]

So long Starz VOD. Now missing in the guide (not that there was ever anything worth while in there).

For me there was never anything in there. Never 1 movie, ever.
One time, for 2 days, i had 1 episode of their show Head Case, that was it.
