Mike123, Not true.... ;0 MPEG4 vs MPEG2 my friend ;0 72.7 will be able to hold more naturally. It doesnt have to mirror 129 exactly as it will be able to handle more than 129 due to MPEG4. Scott, when is the duplication going to begin. I am very eager to see this happen! ;0

No card yet. FYI for JDMACOR - every receiver has a smartcard. Modern ones have used an IC vs a "Card." The only way to tell if you need it or not is to tell what version of the Card you have which you can do by looking at the model number. I dont know off hand the numbers but I am sure someone...

OF course u can have a dish for just this if you want to. Can use the 119/118 lnb and only connect the 118 portion. Also could find another lnb for 118 (its not a normal type and is more work to find/make but it can be done) -B

Ciel 2 will be live by month end for sure ;0 Good ridance E5!!!

LOL has anyone heard an update on AMC 14 of late ;0 ? Has it died a slow death yet?

Can you mix and match Eastern Arc service with legacy. Ie will the G3 smartcart decrypt 129's signal. This will sound like a daft question and please don't bother pointing out the obvious here... I only wish to know the answer I am asking ;0 Can I have say 72.7, 129 and 77 when it is up? Would...

Hell with that. I ACTIVELY wish to see Tivo go bankrupt. They sucked in the first place and that's why they are out of business and resorting to desperate measures such as suing companies with a better product than their own.

The adage "Too little Too Late" comes to mind... How long did we pay for repeats/nothing... Once you saw a show it wasnt like you watched it again.. They robbed us for how long before making a show or two?!

Voom deserved this... They never re-invested into the channels/business and it was DEAD clear to anyone watching it that it was 99% repeats! I think the desirability of what they had was iffy at best. It is sad to see them go.. i will admit that, but I wouldn't blame charlie for this. He simply...

Oh that is pricelesss. I do love some good corporate espionage!!! This is too funny that DTV paid a hacker to hack dish potentially! ;0

Iceberg or Scott, do you know of any 118.7 locals that will be moving to a spot on 61.5? My underlying question is that since 129 and 61.5 will both be spot, what HD locals are likely to remain for the forseeable future?

After such a long wait for new HD, adding CNN and this is a total insult to subscribers who held out and DIDN'T convert to D*........ Thanks a ton charlie. Your gift giving skills are amazing...!

This is not to mention the HORRID footprint that these moves will make. These are not phased array birds. They generally dont behave well when placed 20 degrees outside of their originally designed slot. E6 @ 61.5 would not be that great for east coast, the carribean etc ;0 Dishnetwork is not...

Some expert he is ;0 AMC 14 was for Conus use not LIL! :) He might care to get his own facts straight first ;0 It doesnt even have Ka on it that I am aware of.

I am disappointed to not see more of the movie channels in HD. What about the west feeds?!?! (HBO, SHOWTIME ETC?!?)

Correct. People stating to move E6 to 61.5 are failing to consider the fact that it's footprint would be SO distorted at 61.5 that it would be near un-usable as a conus solution in many parts. The old satellites do not use phased array technology and can not change their footprints on the fly...

I think Borat had too much Sexy Time with the rocket. Clearly it's Fuel was 'spent' too early!

Yeah there is the chance that they could slingshot it using the moons gravity as well. It has not exploded, the rocket simply cut out two minutes too early. Hence it's orbit is a LONGGG way from the needed 22,000 miles out that it should be at. Using the bird's own fuel would make it run oout of...

Yeah they will have two of their new birds up and charlie will have Zero ;0 When is E!! going up?

#$^#&$% Man... We will never get more HD now!!!! :( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

E6 does have some dead transponders i think but it should be more than enough to cover all 32 TP's when coupled with E4... all be it the signal will suck!

E6 will have a poor footprint in the east when moved easterly. The older birds don't operate well when moved beyond 10 degrees or so from their originally intended footprint. This is a huge move in that regard for E6. I.E. If it was designed for 119 (it's first slot ever) and moved east, the...

I wonder if when AMC 14 goes up they will put all conus on that and make Rainbow-! PURELY spot? Rainbow-1 is crap for me where I am.. I would love to see it gone from the Conus world of 61.5 ;0 -B

OK.. on the eve of us *FINALLY* getting some new channels tomorrow... D* had to ruin my moment of glory by adding more! "According to [the other white meat of satellite forums] there will be six HD channels being launched tomorrow, Disney, Toon Disney, MTV2HD, ChillerHD, OutdoorHD,and BETHD...
