I have started a separate thread because it was removed from the New Channels Discussion thread as being off topic, but could be helpful in understanding the delay for new channels, and also understanding picture quality issues.
Here is the sat82 HD channel allocation per transponder as of 3/16/11 for any tp with 3 or fewer channels each:
4 PBSSeattle, AMCEast, SetantaSports
7 CBCMtrl, CTVBC, TSN
8 CBCTor, GlobalBC, SportsnetWest
10 ABCBoston, FoxSeattle, MovieCentral
11 GlobalTor, CityTVTor, CBCBC
13 CBSBoston, NBCSeattle, CNN
14 SportsnetOne, FamilyEast
17 CBSSeattle, HBOEast, SportsnetOnt
18 NBCBoston, FoxBoston, SportsnetPacific
19 NHLCenterIce, MLBExtraInnings
24 CTVTor, ClobalCalg, TSN2
30 PPV, ABCSeattle, SportsnetEast
Any channel not listed above is on a tp with 5 channels.
There are a total of 32 tps and 4 tp are full with SD channels.
Only 2 tp (14 & 19) can add an extra HD channel without affecting picture quality.
hsantos has posted on the New Channels thread that they are adding 5 new HD channels.
Where will those extra 3 channels go????
