Is DISH migrating channels from 110 and 119 to 72 and 77?

Sorry for not including my location in the original thread. I'm about 30 miles north of Milwaukee, WI. Locals are never an issue with me, as my OTA antenna brings them all in at about 95 to 100% signal strength. So I guess what I hear you saying then is that I'll need to keep my ears open as to when exactly Dish may move my HD channels from 61.5 to 77. One other question...since the dish that I currently have pointing at 110 and 119 is one of the larger oval shaped units, would that one also be able to be positioned to pick up 129 as well (all three)?

You need a different dish to get all 3 sats in the west(or the east for that matter). All your LOCAL channels (via sat) are on 61.5 so you don't want to move that dish. Now you need a good tech out there to see if he can find a good place to put you a new EA dish or will he have to see if he can hit all 3 WA sats & leave 61.5.

Got it. Thanks for all your help guys. If there's a link anywhere to a list of exactly what HD channels are on the 72.7 satellite, I'd be much obliged. Thanks again.

Thanks Darrell! That is exactly what I was looking for. Funny thing is, there are HD channels I'm getting now from 61.5 that show up as "Not available" on the 72.7 bird! None of this makes much sense to me, and I'm certainly not going to be in any big rush to have them point my dish toward a new sat. that won't have all the channels I'm currently getting. Time to sit back and enjoy what I have now until the snow is all off the roof and the leaves are filling the trees to see just exactly what my line of sight is (or isn't).

Dish is in the process of moving channels from 61.5. They usually test the uplink a while and then do the switch. They also have to wait on DIRECTV to surrender the transponders. So, it should eventually happen.
