Is Detroit on 118.7 CONUS as well?

Thanks for your help. I learned a lot. Do you think the 118 local CONUS will move in near future? Any info on All American Direct getting HD? I have those stations.

Are the Hawaii spotbeams turned on yet?

Yes. With E-5. Should the new one be any different for the CONUS transponders? Slightly different orbital location that requires adjustment?

There was no "official " 129 coverage before but we could get it, albeit with a weak signal on the lower transponders. For example, Denver on 2 (15-28)dropped out a lot whereas LA on 10 was pretty good(30-40)

Digi- you obviously know a lot. I have lost the 129 satellite completely in Hawaii. I there a new setting I need? I am not talking about the LA or Denver CONUS signals that have been moved. I know they are gone witht the wind. I cannot see the CONUS signals on the national HD. Thx

I don't think that is why they are using spotbeams-they are trying to ramp up their local HD markets. An unfortunate and probably unintended consequence is the "movers" have lost their signals. Many of us "moved" for HD locals-either we don't get them in our designated DMA or for some...

They might not have realized that the beam would not carry as far as they projected.

What do you think Digi? WIll they move them back to CONUS? The rest of the "movers" and I would sure appreciate it.

Do not think i can get that satellite where I live. I get 110,119, and 129

Pittsburgh looks like Spot Beam

No worries. D* will take my money just as easily as E.* Why the glee? Lots of people like to get the networks in an earlier time zone and DVR them. We are good customers and we are going to leave in droves, because we will figure out how to get distant DMA from D* just as easily as we did...

Totally agree. Why give up even one customer when you don't have to. Hoping for CONUS but not optimistic. I have already lost DEN and CHI in past few days. Only have LA left

If it was my company, and it was doing as bad as *E is doing, here is what I would do with regard to the 'moving " issue. I would convert all CONUS HD networks to spot. I would wait one day, and then I would move one city back to CONUS, perhaps Denver or LA. Then I would see how many...

Read the financial reports for Echostar. One of the reasons *E has lost so much ground to *D is the churn and the loss of the high paying subs to *D. Iceberg, don't know who you are. I did preface my remarks with if someone who works for *E is reading any of this. There are thousands of...
