    I live in Western Pa. I get my locals off of an off the air antenna. I get the Pittsburgh Stations crystal clear. I have one dish looking at the 61.5 Sat. And another dish looking at the other 2 Sats. I never got the one dish does it all. Quite satisfied with what I have.

    Well, Im sure someone here would be able to give you a definite answer, but my guess is that they are looking to move you to the 129 Sat, and off of 61.5. But that's a semi-uninformed guess.

    Either that, or more likely, convert to a 1000.4 (61/72/77) dish.

    Locals on the 118 You must mean the 119 because the 118 is 99% international channels. They all need the 500 plus. That would be a huge PITA for installers and techs.

    It looks like the Pittsburgh locals are the only ones in HD left on 118. I wonder why they decided to put them on 129 instead of something on the EA. It sucks to see them go after wasting that money on the plus dish just to "move".

    Must need a 1000.2 dish, then. Hope the OP has line of sight to 129...
