Spyder Valley Translator District

Spyder Valley Translator District is the broadcasting entity for the Spyder Valley and Riverdale County, Oreconsin.  This broadcast facility was built near the town of Riverdale, Oreconsin on top of Mount Riverdale.  Mount Riverdale is officially the highest point surrounding the Spyder Valley. Currently The Spyder Valley Translator District broadcasts in high definition via fiber optics and a high speed internet connection. The translator began it's broadcasts on July 15, 2015.
== FCC Request ==
On December 10, 2014, The Riverdale County Commission filed a request with The Federal Communications Commission to build a translator on Mount Riverdale in order to increase signal strength within the Spyder Valley. This is to allow more programming to show within the valley. This need arose when arose in 2012 when the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 went into effect June 12, 2009, forcing all stations to broadcast in a digital signal. Because this signal is a set up weaker than analog, the Spyder Valley lost some TV due to the transition. Yet because there was still enough usable signal within the valley, there wasn't any real need until the authorization was requested.
On January 7, 2015 the authorization was signed by the FCC and Construction on the new translator began on February 1, 2015, after the last sections of funding came in.
== Signal Testing ==
Technicians began testing signal strength, and receiver power on July 1 as the translator came into completion.  All testing was completed on July 15. This is when most stations were ready to roll. Once the system tests were confirmed, the FCC signed the final decree and The Spyder Valley Translator District began to re transmit all listed channels as a High Power TV Station. This way the signal will reach the desired coverage area.
Once the testing was completed, it became possible that the power of the translator may find it's way to other locations.
== Opening Day 2015 ==
At 10:00 AM on July 15, the local radio stations announced that if you live in the Spyder Valley, Including Riverdale, Cardelle, Tarranasset Springs and other areas. To receive the best signal possible, all antennas should be turned towards Mount Riverdale. And to ensure that this message gets to everybody, people went around the area giving out the word and answering any and all questions that may arise. People were available at Riverdale City Hall to answer any questions that arose as well.
=== Signal Startup ===
At about 8 AM, technicians began turning on the translator's channels one at a time. This was planned to allow all the transmission equipment to properly warm up, and to avoid overloading the equipment, which would have lead to potential malfunctions that had the ability to "brown out" the valley due to a sudden loss in signal.
== History ==
After a few days of operation, ratings came in from multiple sources stating that several of the stations that came on air in the Spyder Valley had great ratings. The well-established DNRDO and newly-rechristened DNDCH Prime Network appealed well to the current demographic within the Spyder Valley, whilst ABS International (hailing from Japan) drew in viewers as a "unique" network, despite never having had any business in Dahrconia before. However, public access channels like DNRCT failed to meet expectations. However that slight failure was short lived, as people of Riverdale and the Spyder Valley started coming together to make DNRCT a better place for everyone in The Spyder Valley.
January 1, 2017, technicians for the district began installing and testing the equipment necessary for broadcasting in 2160p Ultra HD. Once testing was completed, the first 2160p broadcast was made on Wednesday March 1, 2017.
After a few months of operation, the translator had to temporarily shut down the 2160p equipment due to a slight glitch in a Graphics card that seemed to fail.
On January 1st, 2024. Executives for The Spyder Valley Translator District announced plans to launch a channel similar to the Old TV Guide channel that showed you what was on what channel. An independent company approached the District with a proposition to add this channel. Using a from scratch codec that was written, the guide can be run on a PC and broadcast within the limits of the FCC Guidelines.
== The Future of The Spyder Valley Translator District ==
As technology continues to expand and get better The Spyder Valley Translator District will do it's best to keep up. As is such it's going to take some time for the district to get to ATSC 3.0. However efforts are slow because the FCC is waffling about rule changes and whether or not to make the transition to ATSC 3.0.
Starting on January 1st, 2024 The Translator began implementing ATSC 3.0. On March 1st, the first station made it's broadcast.
