Rock on fantasy man | Obviously you've had mucho problems with 129, as well as others, mostly on the west coast. While I live outside the supposed 129 install area, I can pick it up alright (not great tho) with a d1000. Maybe you could try a separate dish pointed at 129 to increase signal levels. If a two dish solution won't pass the wife test or something, then you probably are stuck with cable or D*. However the majority of us who can get good signal from either 61.5 or 129 will be enjoying our new HD channels in a few weeks  |

Maybe they wanted more money than NatGeo. We all know Charlie is a tight wad .
As Goalie said there is plenty of space at 61.5 and 129 for at least one more HD channel.

You know all about these problems because you have a 622 and a 211 right?
Or is it because you have Directtv and nothings going on with that so
go to Dish Network threads and make fun of E so you can feel better.

When is it that Dish is going to offer Distant HD Nets to those that qualify? Is that still in the plans? I kind of remember reading somewhere it was suppose to happen in June.

Personally, I would rather see Equator-HD at 1920x1080i and E* use the transponder space for another HD channels at this time. Maybe I'm wrong, but between Discovery and Equator I think they cover a great deal of the material that will be broadcast on NGHD. In any case, it's always nice to see more 1920x1080i HD. |

I really hope these channels will be in their native resolution. The only thing that gives me hope is when they added UniversalHD it was 1920x1080, and that was after the voom fiasco.

There are some scary things out there, A&E and History are testing 720p on Cband and stretching 4X3 stuff.
