129 INHD mux - the rest of the TP is full of null's

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

That INHD looks like it has some video there.

How about FOOD HD on 129 is it still null packets or does it have video?

 

[digiblur]

You don't ask for much eh??

I was already on it.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok whats the quare root of... (Just kidding)

I really need to figure out how to use TsReader and I also need one of those 8PSK hookups (I already have the module from my 6000 just need the interface.)

 

[John Kotches]

You also need to point out encoding MPEG-2 vs. MPEG-4 on the channels

Cheers,

I was supposed to copy and paste the entire window...oops... INHD is MPEG-2 according to the stream flags.

The answer of course is:

You're full of crap

Yeah Scott - any more word on Food HD going live today? Still nothing as of 4:25pm EDT

 

[digiblur]

I can hear the uplink guys now.....

"Hit Submit, Bill."
"Ok...now start refreshing the thread at SatGuys"
"They just posted the new changes. Bill, flip it back like it was."
Refresh...refresh..refresh..
"Ok..this time add a bunch of channel names that look like other HD channels."

LOL...

"Bill, we are getting too much noise about low bandwidth on HDNet Movies"
"Let's swap the bandwidth with HDNet! See if they notice..."

Looks like no Food HD today. Guess we keep playing the DISH "uplink a channel and wait" game.

 

[John Kotches]

I wonder if the channel going live will coincide with Monday's Tech Chat?

Just a thought...

Cheers,

 

[psumattDE]

Could be..

I mean, I know last time they tied the "release" because of Team Summit - but other times, I wonder what their "method" is to uplinking and releasing a channel.

I'm definitely confused on that one - especially with Food, since we know they already have a contract signed.

 

[digiblur]

Remember guys and gals we can't see what is actually uplinked. It could simply be a mirror of another channel for testing purposes. E* has done this many times in the past. Sometimes they will shift things around to allocate the bandwidth, then they will uplink a mirror to test the new "space", while the space is being tested they are setting up the link for E* to receive the channel from the provider, once the link is setup and stable they will pull the mirror and put the real channel in place, and then release the channel to subs soon thereafter.

So, don't get frustrated that a channel is still in "Not available" mode, E* might not have the channel themselves. Be happy that you actually know the channel is coming soon. E* doesn't have to "show themselves" in the uplinks. They could test the channels without much knowledge from us and then suddenly turn the channels on one day.

 

[Smith P.]

INHD, 9468 on both sats (61.5W and 129W) listed as MPEG-2 for ViP_ONLY.

 

[dfergie]

Interesting, that they are putting in Mpeg2 for Vip receivers...
