Any News On Any New Channels?

6 or 7 new HD channels by end of summer, you'll just have to wait to find out what they are.
 
Isn't PAX all but dead? I know NBC picked it up but i thougth it was on life support.
 
Not really relevant to this thread but I didn't feel like creating a new one. I just got a model 4100 that I'll be testing.
 
I just wanted to mention the that Rogers was adding that channel..I dont care for wrestling...I more imparticular is want more Sports.

Perhaps you should concentrate on the Learning Channel /tease


Nem, who is only teasing....
 
I was just talking to a csr just then, he said the 6 receiver limit is still in effect.:(
 
just do what every one else does and download it from the internet...that $30/month saved will buy you a case of Lucky, and you will still have a couple of bucks to spare.;)
 
What's all the hype about Fox News?!!

We get another US channel that's making up the news, only with a right-wing slant to it!! Big deal!!

All these huge networks do is look for news that fits their narrow agenda (liberal or conservative) and if they don't find it they make it up. Maybe it's time to pry yourselves from the front of the TV and take a look at what's really happening outside of your little world. How does all the crap happening in the US really affect any of us!

End of rant
 
How does one get signal to Nimiq 82 as I do not see any new channels on the guide ? Do I need another dish on my apartment building rooftop or just a phone call away to request a new channel like GOLtv 404. ? I am setup as a regular MDU customer for the last 5 years (NOT EVU for Condos) Thanks
 
does any of you know if the new french channel prise 2 is on nimiq2 or nimiq 1 b'cause i still don't have it.
 
Not even close. DirecPC only uses 1 of the 32 transponders on N2(according to Lyngsat).



Actually, less than a quarter of the 32 transponders on N2 have been turned off (due to a power shortage).

So, unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of available space left on N2, even with the demise of DirecPC.
 
falcon how did you manage to get involved in the testing?

What is this receiver? HD, SD, PVR, MPEG4? - is there a compataple dish network model? Sorry for all the questions but im interested.

Thanks for posting that Falcon, Now what satellite are: 404 - GolTV & 690 - CGTV on?
 
You have options. Depending on where you live, you can choose Star Choice, Rogers or Shaw.

I went with Bell Expressvu for the sole reason of NHL Center Ice. I wanted hockey and they were my best bet. My only options were no name cable, Bell or Star Choice.
 
Nimiq 2 experienced a malfunction that affected the available power on the spacecraft on February 20, 2003. The satellite is currently generating sufficient power to operate only 26 of the 32 transponders.

No point in putting general popular channels on Nimiq 2 since the majority of people don't subscribe to HD or International. Plus if they had popular channels there, they could run into a shortage of the new Dishs by lots of people suddenly wanting to upgrade their dish. I believe Nimiq 2 will be the home of any new channels.

For their internet, they offered 512kb speeds and i believe a few thousand subscribers. I'm not sure how much room the average channel takes up.
 
Prise - ch. 153 - Nimiq 1 12224V - it's hidden from the guide, that's why we don't see it
 
MSNBC is not carried on Bell. And as a self-respecting Canadian I do watch Fox News.
 
Hi there, as far as BEV customers are concerned, ch 404 does not exist for them. It is hidden and won't be enabled until BEV strikes a deal with Gol TV Canada. Email BEV and request it (http://www.goltvcanada.com/ on top fo the page)

I was merely using GOLtv as an example only. What about any other new channels that is already available in Nimiq 82 but MDU customers may not be linked to Nimiq 82 ?
Do I need additional equipment, or does BEV need to upgrade the rooftop dish in order for us to get the signal ?
