Yeah looks like they cleared off space alright. They still have analog colorbars on NTSC channels 16,57,70 and on Ch 158 they have a Music Choice channel in analog (996-1002 MHz)
Modem levels been great but we had a small micro outage today from around 10:00 to 10:05. Modem remained sync’d up with online light lit, but just couldn’t access anything. It resolved itself. Speedtest still good in the 900’s down by 104 up. This band capture was done during a speedtest, so that “noise” in the left prior to that 89 MHz marker is actually OFDMA traffic. It went away once the speedtest ended.
Then an HD channel check… 577 MTVHD shows its on 237 MHz and the In Band PAT shows 5 programs with the following pids: 003A, 003B, 003C, 003D, 003E. The PMT shows for MTV its still an MPEG2 stream with two AC3 audio streams and an “other” stream type 86, and its program 5 on this frequency. Ch 576 VH1HD is program 4 on this same frequency, 1 MPEG2 stream, 1 AC3 audio and 1 “other” type 86. Ch 575 CMTHD is program 3, Ch 574 IDHD is program 2 with an English and Spanish AC3 track. I’m not sure what program 1 is yet because CNBC is on 315 MHz (5 MPEG2 programs on this as well).
Quality is really reduced, I see it on HGTV HD which is grouped with 5 other programs in MPEG2 at 201 MHz.
If I turn off HD Auto Tune on this Pace RNG110 I’m testing with, Ch 77 MTV in SD is grouped with 14 programs in MPEG2 (its program #2).
I’m surprised they are using MPEG2 5:1. MPEG4 would have been better.
Then I guess 14:1 MPEG2 SD, but I’m not going through all the channels to fine out (very time consuming!)
