    Default C band 99 degree VI mux

    ABC seems to have been dropped from the Virgin Island mux on 99 degree C band. Right now the PID that was ABC is showing THIS as a duplicate to the Live Well ch that was dropped earler in the year but the audio for ABC/THIS is badly distorted. The ABC PID still has NPR as a sub-audio ch. I'm guessing that they lost the rights to rebroadcast the NY ABC ch for now--maybe they are in discussions to still carry it but I don't really know that.

    I've been informed that all nets in that mux are to disappear and KRBK Fox on tp 3720 is going as well.

    I actually haven't been able to get the KRBK Fox for some time now. I thought it might be the dish I use (mini-bud) but I had been able to get that TP pretty good so I figured maybe not.

    Sad to hear that VI mux is going away--it gave me lots of options to OTA. I suppose it is going away because of the broadband and fiber coming to the islands.

    From a search today, looks like the only net left is NBC. 3720 tp quite strong here but that's on my 10' bud.

    Fox on 3720 & CW are still coming in here along with both NBCs.

    they have been up and down at my place. Yesterday evening nothing, this morning OK. I usually just write that off as weather over me or the uplink, but with the rumor that they are going down I wonder about testing their delivery via non-uplink.

    Well, the VI mux is still going, but we did loose the NBC out of Casper Wyoming KCWY13 that was on 99 degree C band. Seems the link that was to a remote station(s) is now on a terrestrial link rather than satellite.

    Seems the VI mux reduced the bandwidth around 4/15/15. They now are 4 channels at 3812 H 8030 SR--so about half the SR that they used before and a little lower in freq. NBC, Fox, CW/Cozi and THIS

    Hum, I've lost the VI mux again. I did play with the LNB on my mini-bud just before I lost the signal so it may well just be me. But I've done a lot of playing and I can't get it back. I'm having trouble getting Movies! on 101 C band too, so it is likely just me.

    Thanks, I'll play around some more. Yesterday I got home and Movies! was OK, watched Friday the 13th movies for a while. This morning same ch down--odd.
    I started thinking that last change to 99 degree VI mux was a year ago, and odds are they bought a years uplink time, so it could have just been end of contract.
