So, um, I know you said that the data had been lost for a while, but why exactly wasn't Dish required to keep it updated?

This was a good exercise. It appears that the 61.5 dish could use a little tweaking here as "normal" transponders are down a little since I added the dish in 12/08

Note those that I marked * are questionable. They don't always lock and take a long time to lock when they do. When locked they do say Echostar

0% or not locked on skipped transponders. Based on lyngsat they do not appear to be used, perhaps not licensed, by Dish.

On a side note, it seems that it will be a long time before Rochester NY gets HD LIL, where could I "move" to? Thanks for the assistance.
