It´s a waste of space and broadband sacrifice of the main ch. If it were for a different channel or programming, ok, it´s worth it. Don´t you think.

Yeah, seems to be a total waste of space. Anyhow, seems that the testing is complete and these channels are here to stay!

Since a few days ago i noticed that both Tv Azteca digital signals in Tijuana have the program guide info and, best of all, it indicates the programming in our local time zone (Pacific Time). Way to go Tv Azteca Tijuana.

I don´t know if you guys in the El Paso/Paso del Norte (Cd. Juarez) area can get their tv guide info of both digital signals.

TV Azteca, specially "Azteca 13" has been doing nothing but SD lately, INCLUDING the latest World Cup match.. no wonder they are losing Vs. Televisa..

Novelas, news, shows, etc all on SD now..

I'd like to request a list of Digital TV stations in operation in Mexico. They will be added to the Canada & Mexico DTV topic index.

Thanks in advance.

XHAS telemundo is only using 11 M/S. I wonder if they have plans for the rest of the bandwidth.

Also, Azteca 28.1 and 29.1 have several sub-channels. I believe they are hi-tv channels broadcasting in MPEG4. Does anyone have a converter to view this?

Nice. We are still waiting in El Paso for Telemundo HD and Telefutura HD...

I hope with the new Digital TV laws coming, we also have "canal 5" in HD soon.

I was able to watch those hi-tv signals with a hvr-950 usb tuner, fedora 12 linux, kaffeine player. The quality is not bad on a 19 in PC screen.

All I've heard is that the President of Mexico wants to turn off the Analog signals by 2015. I don't know if it still has to go through Congress or COFETEL.

Local cable is announcing that they will go "digital" soon...

They say "better quality" but they don't mention HDTV at all..

Satellite we have 2 companies.. SKY, but HD package, for EACH TV is about $80 dls a month, so if you have 3 TVs you'll payg about $240 US dolars a month!!!!

How much you pay now for regular HDTV Cable/Sat in US? $49? max $99?

Yes $50/month for HD with taxes and fees on the low end. For all the Premium channels included with HD it can be $150/month with taxes and fees. If you add sports packages it can go to $300/month for HD.

Is this a Mexican station or a San Diego station?

It's a hybrid and is on here as a Mexican Transmitter. The station is licensed to Tecate, Baja California, Mexico; its studios are located in San Diego. The station is operated by Entravision Communications Corporation as a MyNetworkTV affiliate.

The HD bitrate is null for XHDTV, so the actual bitrate is 2.31 mbps.
