All I can say it NBA TV in HD will make a lot of Basketball fans in PR having HD very happy..& will tempt a lot of other to get HD for it. Not to mention with HD Basketball in ESPN & TNT & WGN.....will make a lot of good HD basketball coverage. Offcourse LP will not be available in HD at the moment. But if Dish gave us ABC HD...then most bases r covered.
Obviously......fans of other sports in PR will be happy also with bunch of HD coming our way. Still a long way to go for us to catch US HD count...but it a start....& IMO...very very good start

Digi, this question doesn't pertain to this comment but I'm just curious. I have a 1000.2 (110, 119, 129) with a wing dish for 77w for local HD in Arkansas. It is my understanding that 77 ea is the same as 129 (or which ever) in the western arc so I'm curious why or how the wing dish doesn't conflict with the same channesl on the wa or how does the 722k know which one to pull off of. I assume that my account is either one or the other but how does it then get the hd locals off of 77? Just a rookie question but I have been with E for over 12 years and do my own installations. Thanks, cwk

Thanks, cwk | Your account isn't EA or WA. There's lots of installations that are 110/119/61.5, which technically is a mixed system. You can take any EA receiver and hook it up to 110/119/129 and it will work and vice versa(as long as the WA receivers are VIP boxes).
There's even folks with 61.5/110/119/129 installations and the receiver displays the channels just fine.

Is Echo 8 not a relativly new satellite?

Thanks for the quick response sir. So, are you saying that I could install a 1000.4 and go EA and eliminate the wing dish and the my two vip 722 would just adapt to the signal change and pull the channels that it did before the change? I guess I just didn't understand why the 77w wing dish didn't try to pull in extra channels when I installed and did the check switch. Eitherway, I'm ok and evrything is up and running and has been for a while. I just come up with the questions and get curious when a certain topic comes up in the forum. Thanks again for your response. cwk

Could they be starting the rumored "mixed" transponders, with a few HD and SD on the same TP?
I'm sure they will at least spread the 14 out, perhaps putting some on the existing HD TPs. Maybe they will get rid of some HD PPV now that they have multiple HD on demand options.

Thanks again for your response. cwk | Yes. There isn't anything on 77W that you don't have on the 1000.2 setup except for your locals. There wouldn't be any "extra" channels you would be able to receive.
