HD Questions

Bronze Member Username: UprefereePost Number: 58 Registered: Dec-07 | I have a 50" plasma with 720p. Would the HD signal from the HD FTA still look good on a 720p television? Do you need different LNBs to receive HD? Can I use the existing 110/119 set up? Or I have to point to different satellites? Where can I find a list of channels that would be in HD on the HD FTA receiver? |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3270 Registered: Oct-06 | LCD TV get Sharp But I recommend Panasonic Plasma as #1 quality and price 1080p HDTV is what yo should shop for Or at least 1080i 720p is at least 5 years outdated VS-Xtreme doesn't have HD channels However yo can connect component out (RGB + R/W for audio) to yor HD TV and yo'll see all SD on yor HDTV in great resolution Amazon.com is best place to compare market prices But never purchase a large HDTV by mail order Very high risk of getting sensitive electronics component damaged inernally or externally HD FTA receivers are waste of money at present time |

Silver Member Username: JustforhahasPost Number: 140 Registered: Jul-08 | Satellite 129 is loaded with HD channels. I would recommend that satellite to any HD viewer. I belive this is much easier to understand and read , regarding available DN channels , including HD channels. Best site for DISHNET info, channels, transponders and changes etc.. http://www.dishuser.org/dishlist.php |

Silver Member Username: MuchoPost Number: 548 Registered: Dec-07 | King Tapeman, you may be right but for the time been I have posted above only the HD Channels that are carried by above listed Satellites. I believe that is what the man ask for.  Where can I find a list of channels that would be in HD on the HD FTA receiver? |

Silver Member Username: JustforhahasPost Number: 168 Registered: Jul-08 | DISH Ready for MPEG-4 Video c/p of a post by tomcat01. DISH Net said Monday that it will transmit all standard and high-def programming in the MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding Standard, a move the DBS provider said is a first among video providers. The move followed other technology efforts by the company, including the delivery of movies in 1080p resolution. Also, DISH said it's still committed to offering up to 150 national HD channels by the end of the year. The MPEG-4 push will include local TV packages. In the East, the first wave of all MPEG-4 locals will occur in 21 markets, including Cleveland; Richmond, Va.; Baltimore; Columbia, S.C.; Tampa; Green Bay, Wis.; Greensboro, N.C.; Providence, R.I.; Greenville, S.C., Knoxville, Tenn.; Raleigh, N.C.; Chicago; Detroit; Charlotte, N.C.; Dallas; Nashville, Tenn.; Minneapolis; Philadelphia; Washington, D.C.; New York; and Hartford, Conn. Additional markets will be announced at a later date, the company said. |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3294 Registered: Oct-06 | IT'S TRUE I report what I see I did scan the 2 streams and I spoke about it before anyone else There have been several battles back and forth between security providers and coders Yo probably not aware of it cuz majority of friendly users here all they care is turn on Free TV Coders matched security providers pound for pound Coders won every single battle Many of previous battles had both expensive changes and low cost changes THIS TIME THEY DECIDED TO CHANGE ENTIRE HARDWARE CONCEPT My real hobby is to scan what's out there and share what I know and see |

New member Username: Funtoy1001Post Number: 6 Registered: Jul-08 | K T, so how much time will HD FTA have? AFAIK, eastern arc sats require a new dish, when will they swap out existing customers' dishes? |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3299 Registered: Oct-06 | Exact time table is always unknown I'm sure D#N can't even answer this But as an educated guess I would say: - Service will be available for new HD customers only Sep and Oct this year - Feb/March/April will start upgrading older HD equipement - May/June/July swaping SD American - Aug/Sep/Oct swaping International - November Total black out - Maybe sooner or maybe until December 2009 Only guessing Also note: Older HD models they'll relace 1080i with 1080p Module Simple hardware swap They'll still use older HD receivers Not the older SD receivers Sd will have to be totally replaced But they have to offer this at the end after fullfilling all HD customers |
