Are you saying this is being added? I'm guessing to 129 where I can't see it.

Yes, it is on 129...

Still holding out hope for FSN BA before Sharks playoffs.

[grooves12]

Also, with the way the HD RSN's are Conus (kind of), Shared Bandwidth, and part-time... doesn't this make it super-easy for Dish to add HD options to their Sports Packages such as NHL Centre ICE and MLB EI (if they keep it)??

They can just mirror the content on another channel without any additional Bandwidth, correct?

[JohnH]

Only FOXFL is on 61.5 now. Others are on 129,

[Mr.72]

OH MY! 366 it is. "FOX Southwest HD" in the guide, playing the dish HDTV logo and music right now. Warriors at Rockets at 7pm is blacked out (who knows why). No other guide info further on out but here's to hope that Spurs games will end up on this channel, and NOT blacked out.

Not really. The RSN's are spread out between 129 and 61.5 based on geography.

In order to provide the HD game on CI or EI(Let's Hope) they would have to uplink it either on a conus beam or uplink the HD game on the opposite bird i.e if it's on 129 they'd have to uplink on 61.5 and vice versa.

[neljtorres]

Glad to read your post again JohnH!!:)

[dclaryjr]

Then it strikes me as odd that Fox Sports Southwest, which features mostly Texas teams, wouldn't be a 61.5 since a fairly large portion of the state uses that for HD. My installer told me that I would need a Dish 1000 to see 129, yet the map on the EKB shows me well in the D1000 exclusion zone. :confused: :confused:

[SMosher]

John as always thank you a ton! And I hope all is well if not all gets well soon.

FOX SPORTS FLORIDA, WHAT IS GOING ON? I been with dish since 97, and I always been happy to upgrade my service, usually every year, but dammit, I got a dish 1000 with 4 orbital locations and I can't see fox sports florida on HD cause is on 61.5! what the heck is going on? I don't know what the demographics is for people having a second dish pointing at the 61.5 location, but I spend lots of money upgrading to the one dish solution to have crap like this happen!:mad:

[Wu-Infinite]

I guess it all depends what part of florida we live in, I live in the panhandle, I guess you can say extreme northwest florida, about an hour drive to alabama. I have no problem receving my signal from the 129, actual signal strengh is over 100. I don't know how many subscribers live in our area, but I would say chances are small that dish would carry the channel on 2 orbital locations.:nono:

The rest of Florida - Jax, Orlando, Tampa, Maimi, etc (including me) need FOXFL on 61.5. We are all in the 129 exclusion zone. E* is obviously going to have to adress the people in FL that are in 129 and the people in TX that are in 61.5.

All you guys are lucky that have HD RSN and/or HD Locals

I need STO, FOX Ohio for HD RSN, and i have a DISH pointed @ 61.5 (if it does come it will probally be on 129 :( then im screwed yet again)

Also i was promised locals for a long time now, last year they said i would get them in in by 2006, yet lied again.

Im just so frustrated, i think i chose the wrong company.

just my 2 cents

Anyone have any clue what channel "STARF" could be?

I am guessing that channel 9414 "ECUDA" is the return of Educating Everyone, but I am not sure.

I am guessing that channel 9414 "ECUDA" is the return of Educating Everyone, but I am not sure.I was thinking the same thing about "Educating Everyone" and am really looking forward to it if it is still playing JCTV part time. :)

STARF reminds me of Pinky and the Brain ... the only nice reference I could find on Google was "Syndicat des technicien(ne)s et artisan(e)s du réseau français de Radio-Canada (STARF)" --- but I doubt if a Canadian union is putting up a channel.

There are some rather rude references found by Googling STARF (and now the internet will slow down while everyone who reads this does so).

David: I have a solution for you, assuming you have a DishPro setup with a 44 switch. Keep the 61.5 and if it is not mirrored in the near future then get a 24" or 30" dish with a dishpro lnb and bring it into the 44 switch...problem solved and now you have some degree of confidence that between 61.5, 110, 119, and 129 your covered for awhile as *E adds new HD offerings. This slightly larger dish works work fine for 129 in S.Texas and by the by I have a sub for all the RSN's.

It actually says "Educator TV" there ... not "Educador TV"

Not sure about it's web site anyhow :)

It's actually has OK shows reportedly .. some movies, some educational programs, etc...

[James Long]

Perhaps not Español ...

[Darkman]

No it's NOT...

( i wonder though at the same time.. if John wasn't incorrect earlier .. maybe some Spanish show was on at that time.. and that is why EPG said "Educador TV" .. But i wouldn't think so.. - just a wild idea) :)

[CoolGui]

Crap! I'm dying to get FSSW in HD! I'm in Houston, TX, I have two 500's, and currently getting 119, 110, and 61.5. I don't feel like I have enough knowledge about this to point it myself, if I call Dish will they send someone out to point me in the right direction to get 129?! Will I lose anything by moving anything to get 129?

Don't think the EPG name changed to "Channel 421, CH421 or whatever" ...

John would have mentioned it by now.. ;)

More likely yours .. or your friend's receiver is incorrectly showing it like that.. - not all FTA receivers display the proper EPG name properly...

[Darkman]

Could one be Yes?
(FX: Running for cover ...)
The answer is ... obviously (by now)... - No :D

[Darkman]

I guess the EPG names for those Temp 9 and 8 got officially renamed to MASN and MASN2 now.. and they DID become available! :)

[James Long]

Yep ... The Diamondback/Nationals game was blacked out live on 433 but the replay is blackout free on 432.

Yep ... The Diamondback/Nationals game was blacked out live on 433 but the replay is blackout free on 432.

Black out free on Directv as well right now.

[James Long]

Does D* run MASN2 on an alt channel or not at all?

[DCSholtis]

Alt channel 671. But the replay was on MASN 1

[James Long]

Alt channel 671. But the replay was on MASN 1Good. With E* providing a dedicated ALT channel (although it goes to the standard Dish Season Ticket slate when "off air") I figured that D* was handling it somehow.

ch 431 nologner theyesterday night man wsas stilthee

[James Long]

Often "echos" of channels will remain on a transponder even after the channel is removed in the tables. Sometimes an echo will appear before the channel is added to the uplink tables. While the pre-echos can give us hints as to what is coming before it appears in the main tables, the post-echos are less interesting (as it is just a case of a transponder that needs the PIDs removed).

In general, the echos are not worth mentioning, especially in this forum. One cannot see them on any Echostar receiver and if they ever were to return to service we would see them in the main tables first. The focus of this forum is the channels that are or will be in service ... not what is available FTA.

[Darkman]

I don't even think it's the real "echo" (or whatever it is)

If channel moves to a different SID # on the same tp.. - it probably has the same PIDs etc.. - and basically even though it's really REMOVED now.. - if go to the previous SID # .. it will more likely be there (artificially so)

To really see if it "echos", mirrors or whatever .. - one has to manually delete that channel in question (in this case, i guess, would be ch 431) .. and then rescan the same TP .. if the channel really removed now from 431.. - 431 will NOT appear again :)

[Darkman]

Plus i think Arransay was refering to ch 421 anyhow..

that, again, is gone now.. - John said it's removed, then it's removed basically :)

Besides.. i am not even sure 100% what Aransay said anyhow ;)
(again, he is NOT trying as hard as i would like him to try, lol) :D

[JohnH]

ch 431 nologner theyesterday night man wsas stilthee

431 is STO and is still part of system for some time.

But look "at it" yourself... carefully.. - DON'T you realize that "what you said above" - noone understands anyhow! :rolleyes:

[MacMariner]

When oh when do we get FSN NW?????????????????

AARGH

[James Long]

Probably the quickest way to get FSN NW in HD is to switch to D*. The announcement from E* is not very encouraging for other RSNs. If you do switch, I hope your RSN carries a lot of your favorite team's games in HD.

[DCSholtis]

All Home and 6 road Mariners games are in HD this year. There are a few press releases out there stating so. Before you think about switching be sure to check your zip code on D*s site to make sure you are eligible for the FSN NW HD feed.

[James Long]

Good ... as long as those games are on Fox NW and carried by D* switching should work for him.

[Wu-Infinite]

can anyone verify if the marlin games are being broadcast in hd on fox florida hd? I was watching the game the other night, the picture quality was terrible. ofcourse without having access to the 61.5 location I can only guess if the hd feed was great or not.

[DCSholtis]

Not necessarily James. He apparently is in Portland, OR so he would need to check his zip like I posted above as Im NOT sure the spot beam for FSN NW reaches that far.

[Rob Glasser]

Not to mention a large amount of Sonics games this year. On top of this Dish doesn't carry our local FOX affiliate either, which is where all the Seahawks games are broadcast. So if you have Dish right now and live in the Seattle area you can't get any local professional sports in HD, where as you can get all of them if you have Direct TV or our local cable provider, Comcast.

I know the press release isn't promising but I sure hope something does happen soon. I, like many others, was really looking forward to FSN NW HD on Dish.

[jbaker8679]

Hmmm ... warming up a slate for the move to 231 / AT200?

More PIs split between 61.5° and 129° ... and not 148°.

so are the rockies games going to be able to see in hd or is fox sport net the rocky montain not going to get it thank:)

It's not every game, and you have be eatching on ch. 373. The first HD game will be Apr. 10th.

that's the problem I got a dish 1000. I don't get channel 373

[saltrek]

Sorry, didn't read your whole post. Tonight's Rays game is in HD and looks great. I don't think it will look any different on ch. 423 just because they are showing it in HD on 373.

The other forum probably borrowed the report from digiblur. Certainly is his style of report (although it is a program he wrote, so others at Satguys running that program will have similar reports).

[Darkman]

I didn't even understand what Aransay said there anyhow..

But, today, digiblur was the one i believe who produced that output..

So if it wasn't "copy/pasted" from him.. - then it was "copy/pasted" from another forum (other the Satelliteguys) .. that's all ...

John's and digiblur's reports could often be seen at other forums .. people just "bring" 'em there.. (often giving some credits to the source they got it from)

maybe it was some Mexican forum (j/k) :D

In any case he even had the "(A)" thingy ( for = Available) .. - so ya.. word for word :)

P.S. Also, digiblur posted that around NOON(ish) Central Time.. and Aransay brought it here at 6 something PM Central... ;)

[kappy44]

Thanks! I wonder if I can get Dish to bite and do something for me armed with this knowledge.



Why am I not surprised to hear this!
(Folks, Kappy has a set up that picks up transmissions from Degobah or the rebel base on Tantui!:) )

For those of you wishing to get 129 for RSN's in so-called bad DMA's, it can be done with a 30" dish and dishpro lnbf. Transponder readings here in the "bad S. Texas" DMA range from 88 to 103. I have five dishes, 2 for BEV and 3 for *E. Photo attached.

The above was verified with my own eyes today. Now the question is will Dish do anything for me or will I have to do it on my own. Based on what's available now, I wouldn't spend a penny on this; however, that could change come college football season.

[Mike D-CO5]

You can get a 30" dish from dishdepot.com for about 129.99 . Since you live outside of Florida there isn't any tax on your purchase and Mark doesn't charge anything for shipping and handeling. All you would need is the single or dual lnb and you could install it yourself.

I use Mark as well...that's where I got the lnbf from for the 129.

Mark is a great business guy. Even if buying from him costs 20 dollars more I'll do it just becuase he is great to do business with.

BEV in America? Do I even ask how?

Unless D* plans on trying to make NCAA all their own like they are with the rest of the planet.

[James Long]

BEV in America? Do I even ask how?The same way people "move" to get other markets within the US ... except one generally needs help from someone who will provide an address in Canada (called "brokers").

I see. I'll stick with what I got.

[kappy44]

BEV is quite viable and legal in the lower 48....there are a number of Canadian brokers who set up your account with a Canadian address and in turn you can choose BEV or Star Choice as a provider. There are separate dealers you get the equipment from. Canadian programming on the whole is markedly better than large packages we have to subscribe to here to get the better offerings...it is more of a step towards "a la carte" choices. The NFL package is cheaper through BEV and of course the network programming and other HD material made available works well for me.

Now admittedly I am a fanatic, with my *E bill running over $200/month which I could substantially reduce if I didn't have to get high level packages of junk for the stuff I wanted, but ironically my BEV bill runs $98/mo and I watch it more than *E! There are two birds for BEV @ 82 and 91 degrees. The bird @ 82 is leased from *D until a replacement is sent up next year....this has caused lower signal strength in sections of the lower 48, hence the larger dish requirement....footprint issues are identical to those complaining about 129 from *E....same areas of the U.S. I could go on further on this subject as it has been a real help for me considering the small DMA I reside in.

[James Long]

BEV is not legal in the US. The Canadian provider does not have the rights needed to sell programming to someone in the US and reception of the signals without a license from the FCC is a violation of FCC rules.

That being said, you are unlikely to go to jail for subscribing to BEV or StarChoice in the US.

[Darkman]

It (the BEV "thingy") is really not that bad, if you have a good Broker...

You are paying for the services provided... and/so it's NOT as bad as James made it sound, even though some legality or morality issues DO exist with subscribing that service from United States....

I believe I went around and around on this subject on another forum and in fact it may have been with James. There is absolutely no law in the U.S. making this illegal in any way shape or form....I don't say this loosely and have verified same with FCC counsel...that being said it boils down to use, need, and finances.

Hey Darkman, long time no chat. I really do consider all the input you folks have givin me grand. I'll just have to pass at this time. Between E* package and D* for MLB I'm tapped out on the wallet. Maybe in the future.

The FCC has other things to enforce than whether or not you have the proper license for your receive antenna. Lack of enforcement doesn't make it right, nor does it make anyone encouraging people to enter the gray market right.
