I was too busy to go "Wednsday fishing" for them today again :(

[JohnH]

Looks like WLJC Beattyville, KY has joinrd the ranks of the available in that market.

Some HD is being added to 105, also. No new services in this mix though.

No more notice of the preview for Anchorage. It is turned off.

How do you know what channels are available for preview,etc? Also any sign of wheeling/steubenville locals?

[JohnH]

If there is a locals preview, notice of it will show up on a channel called WOW. There are 5 of them located somwhere in the 100s. Right now none of them are turned on for subscribers. And they are only turned on for specific markets, usually when a particuler market launches,

No sign of Wheeling, yet. There is plenty of room and they are quite busy.

newsub - JohnH is an expert...
more likely combination of Free-To-Air equipment, BUD (Big Ugly Dish), and other sofisticated goodies of simular or related nature :)

so what free to air equipment does he use and the goodies are some other stuff right?

[Darkman]

newsub - not really sure...
Ask him - it's more likely quite sofisticated ( just look at his signature - i bet some of it is mentioned there :) )

and, ya - goodies are more likely some other stuff

[Darkman]

Hey John,
I guess 7180 to 7186 in the EPG (or something like that) - is that Eugene, OR that you mentioned above :)

[JohnH]

I guess you are right. :)

None of the channels on 105 are FTA(Free-To-Air). :)

I do have a PCI satellite receiver in my PC. My PC is too slow to do video, so I do data. :)

[Darkman]

John - thanks

newsub - there you go... I told ya - it's kinda complecated..
but not that bad - some kinda PCI thinggy inside the PC :)

:hurah: :lol: Hee Hee............

[TNGTony]

HOLY COW!!!!!!!

I haven't added so many channels at one time since December 2001!

Anyway, the chart is updated. John, Stephen and my (ANON/anon) friends have filled in the blanks! :)

www.dishchannelchart.com

It's now officially unmanagably large. :) 530kb in size.

The Excell spreadsheet has also been updated, but I forgot to update the update date. :D I'll get it once I get feeling in my fingers again.

See ya
Tony

[Darkman]

Tony - boo-boo on chart for 9466 entry... - it's tp 16 at 105, instead of tp 5 on 148... Isn't it?

Sorry for letting you know here, but my e-mail service is down again..

[TNGTony]

Details, details...I got it!

I got yours too John. :)

See ya
Tony

[Darkman]

Tony - 7180-7186 on the chart are supposed to be on 119, not 105... (Green Color however is correct, already set for 119) :)

[hikerak]

OK, Now I am excited, I see most of the Milwaukee channels. Once they get on there, how soon does that make them ready for purchase... I am really tired of my rabbit ears.... ?

[Ken_F]

John,

Did I read that right? Is 9466 a 8PSK channel on 105, as shown on TNGTony's page?

Someone should submit the updated information to Lyngsat too.

[JohnH]

Ken. it is Turbo-coded FEC in QPSK. Just one of those "details" which need to be corrected. :)

The HD info has been submitted. The Locals will be someday soon. :)

[JohnH]

Well, certainly not before you have your SuperDISH or derivation thereof installed. That is the short of it. The long of it is never. Somewhere in between is a good guess. :)

[Mark Holtz]

I'll get it once I get feeling in my fingers again.We can tell from the notes:

9/15/03: The HD package is now subscribers.

9/16/03: KING NBC Seattle is now abailable to Anchorage, AK locals

Anguished english strikes again. :)

[Darkman]

Mark - hehe..
Poor Tony :)

John, hikerak - i think they said at Retailer Chat, that those markets should be available on or around Oct 16, when Superdish will be available... Unless there are some Retran. problems (or whatever it is called - AKA - agreement problems with a particular Local Market)...

Of course - it all seems kinda vague anyhow.. cuz if SuperDish is only available on Oct 16, ... most people would not have their SuperDishes (or the equivalents of SuperDish) in place and installed yet by then anyhow...
Therefore - It's Charlie's fault again ... for making it Vague ...
LOL - i guess he says things without really thinking ahead on the Subject...
Of course - he got an excuse - many times he said: "I don't really know anyhow.... That's not really my department :) ... We should ask Technical People about this issue" :D

[JohnH]

Yeah. announce a bunch of locals. Sell bunches of SuperDISHes. Installers work bunches of overtime. Merry Christmas everyone.

[Darkman]

Ya ... that's right..
At least Christmas is around the corner, if nothing else :D

[Rocky Watson]

Wichita Ks Area installer here and with all the superdishes to install it will be a DAMN GOOD Christmas


woo hoo for this installer!
