HSN now on Ion affiliates

[R0ss]

Just an FYI HSN is now on 68.6, WBPXDT6 in Boston. Not really a big deal just wanted to share.

yup here in Minneapolis on KPXM too....Ion O&O (channel 41)

Which makes NO sense as we have a affiliate already in Minneapolis (channel 43)

Wow, first QVC now HSN. How many more subchannels can they cram in there?

I've got one station with 9 subcarriers none of the channels are of interest to me but they are doing it.

well the good news is they arent giving much bandwidth to the -4 (Ishop), -5 (QVC) and -6 (HSN)
bad news is IonLife looks like crap and the main Ion feed is starting to suffer

for SD they can do 12.....couple low powered stations do it.
One in SF (maps to channel 1) and one in Atlanta too

hmmm 8 markets it is duplicated with the feed on the Ion -6 and on a different station also in the market

I have noticed some degradation of PQ on the main ION station out of Boston, since HSN came on the air , -6, don't watch the others much, besides if I really want to watch qvc or hsn I'd stream them on the iPad or Roku....much better PQ

As Iceburg noted, we've got KAXT here in the San Francisco Bay Area that has 12 video sub channels and 8 audio sub channels. They also use channel 1 for the virtual channel. Interesting station.

Our Ion station, KKPX, has just added 65-5, HSN. They don't have QVC, though, since it's one of the 12 sub channels on KAXT.

WHPX-TV (ION) channel 26 of New London, CT (Hartford/New Haven) carries it all, up to 26-6. QVC Over-The-Air on channel 26-5 is a 16:9 picture being squeezed up into a 4:3 ratio. HSN on channel 26-6 is a down-converted 16:9 picture, which has the rectangle picture frame effect going on.

I can't pick up whpx at my house in Newington.

I usually get WHPX-TV at roughly ~75%. I watched WWE Main Event last Wednesday. I only saw one small dropout that hour. (I only watched because it was taped at the Mohegan Sun Casino and a coworker was at the show.)
