This could be part of the reason they decided to move stuff to 72 and 77. E6 at 61.5 hits the center of the Eastern half of the country pretty well, but if you live in the upper half of Maine or the lower half of TX you are in trouble. I attached the map from Dish's application to move E6 to 61.5

Now, that makes everything worse. It's going to really hard to for us to pick up 77. And we can't pick up 129. I guess Maine is Screwed all together.

Scott, but the EA customers will get all these channels to, right? SO they will add the new locals on 77 & 72?

FOX SOCCER CHANNEL HD
Retro Hd
BBC America hd
E! Entertainment Television HD
Indie Hd
Sportsman hd
Hallmark HD
Showtime HD (west)

Only BBC America will be on 61.5 all other new HD channels will be on 72.5.

Scott, should we read this as no agreement with Epix or the agreement falling apart?

All the transponders and satellite positions of the TMP channels is in the uplink report...first post of this thread.

I have a D500+ with 61.5 as a wing dish. If I mount a LNB opposite the 110 LNB with bracket, so you have from behind dish 129, 119/118.7, 110 would that make it a D1000.2? Is the reflector the same size? I would not want to reposition 61.5 because of location, hard to get to. Thanks

Not at all.

I think he meant that they are only on 129 and not to be added to 110 or 119. They will still show up on 72.7 for us EA customers (and one of them on 61.5).
