I particularly watch a lot of programming on their schedule 511, and I was afraid of losing that. It's nice to see that they plan to convert those to DVB.
Anyway, thanks for the link! That's good news. I still expect there will be a few channels that I'll be able to use my 2 DCII receivers on though, but it's really more convenient for me to use DVB, so this is an improvement.

I went back and re-read what they were saying on that web page Iceberg posted (and is now being displayed on the DCII channels). I was happy that the web page said that schedule 511,512 and 513 were switching to DVB, which I just assumed to mean that they would stay in the same place as DVB, however the way I read it now, it sounds like apparently they are planning to move them to their service on AMC1-C-20. I'm starting to fear that even though these are switching to DVB, that they will be in 8PSK mode that we can't get with regular FTA receivers. So I guess the wait continues, and we probably won't find out for sure until the switch is made.

I'll miss this schedule if it does go to a mode we can't receive.

EDIT: NEVER MIND I just re-read it a third time, and it DOES look like schedule 511 will be staying on AMC3 in regular QPSK. :-) so I'm happy again.But I"ll still be nervous until the switch takes place.
