    Not getting new HD channels

    ADVERTS 1
    I have AT200 and should be getting some of the new HD offerings (E! HD for sure). Here is the problem, I'm an idiot. I have two dishes, but have no idea what they are or what they are pointing at. I checked under all subscription, but only the normal E! is there (I know there are other channels, but I know this one for sure).

    1. How can I check what my two dishes are?

    2. How can I check what they are pointing at?

    3. How can I get the new HD?

    I live in NE WI with a zip of 54166. Any help is appreciated, you guys are going straight to heaven for helping satellite blondes like me.

    Thanks,

    Green Bay is an Eastern Arc DMA, I bet you currently have one dish pointed at 110/119 and another at 61.5.

    You could repoint the 61.5 to 129 but this will cause you to lose HD locals. Complete solution is for you to get a new 1000.4 dish.
    Soon adverb1: without undue time lapse
    2: in a prompt manner

    The other option is to repoint the dish that is now at 110/119 to 61.5 & 72.7 then the one that is pointing to 61.5 to 119. They will give the same sats as the 1000.4.

    Creative. Will a 500 dish hit 61.5 & 72.7 @ the same?

    Does DISH just give these out? I assume I will have to pay for it, I am already in contract so I can't extend it out.

    Sorta weird that DISH would add HD, but have only certain customers receiving it.

    How do I resolve this? Thanks for all the insight, btw

    Through a Tech Chat, I agreed to pay $15 for Service Technician visit to change my dish and its directionality. I live in Florida and the Technician installed Western Arc, because it can mounted on fascia.
