    Check to see if you are receiving it on channel 6113. If you are, you need to call into Dish Network immediately to schedule a dish migration, as your channel will no longer be available off the old satellite after February 11th.

    Otherwise, ATV is still channel 587, and you need to call anyway for technical assistance.

    118.7. I'm pretty useless for details beyond that, though there seem to be plenty of tech-savvy people here.

    according to what I have seen it is on 698 now at 118.7 only so you would need a D500+ or D1000+

    587 is on 148 only

    Hi Iceberg,

    Thanks for your info...

    I have a single LNB pointing at 148 right now. My question is there is no 118.7 in the satellite screen (6>1>1 in menu). I am using a 310.010 receiver. Can I point to 121 instead? Based on some reading, 121 also has ch 698.

    Kindly confirm. Thanks!
