There must be a dark cloud over Florida. When I got home this afternoon, all chinese channels except for NTD channel is gone. It was working fine this morning. Hope it is temporary. If anyone hears the real scoop, let us know.

The company website ETTV does not contain information about what's going on. The whole transponder frequency seems to have powered down. What's left is NTD and the buddist channel. If you have a fixed dish, I suggest you nudge it over to G3C for awhile.

All ETTV channels are gone now (currently anyhow) from G-25 (97 W) 12115 tp...

14 Video signals .. and 2 over at Radio side are gone..

I am thinking maybe cuz most of those are at DISH Network platform.. and they finally took them off here...
Not sure though..

At the same time .. that tp isn't dead.. even though it could be powered down somewhat...

3 test cards are being uplinked there now at 12115 instead of ETTV channels. currently anyhow 3 PITTCOM cards there - 1, 2 and 3

I guess tp belongs to Pitt telecomm....

sounds logical DM seems like Dish and Direct are always taking the good channels. oh well off to search for more.

Lyngsat says that ETTV has moved to G23, but its on C band. Can anyone with a big dish verify this?

Lyngsat seems to be accurate. I'm getting 6 FTA channels on that MUX, including the two ETTV channels.

Thanks Bill. That's a real bummer for us with small dishes.
