Hemi I agree with you on the cost factor......it just seems that Dish would have made the Superstation Pkg available in HD..........considering how much they are bashing D* and Cable in their commercials about having the "most" HD

Obviously if they can make a box that can receive OTA HD programming and viewed on a non-HD TV (all those converter boxes you needed to install before the changeover) then the SAT receivers should be made to be capable of this. It would free up more transponders since you wouldn't need both HD...

Hemi yes exactly......

Hemi I know all about the spot beam issue.....but why broadcast 2 channels SD and HD.....1 of my TV's an older analog is hooked up to a converter and I get the OTA's on it.....and those are being broadcast in HD not SD

Ok now that the plug has been pulled on analog signals......why does Dish continue to have both SD and HD channels for locals. For instance if WPIX in NY is broadcasting in HD (specifically the Met games) why is it Dish gives it Superstation Pkg subcribers a grainy SD version

Gee that sounds so much like the standard E* excuse. I seem to remember that they would not carry MLB Extra Innings for the same reason

Hemi, Yeah I already feel that way. Considering that WPIX is on a spot beam already

Any updates on whether Dish will be offering the Superstations pkg in HD? You would think with all their boasts of being the HD Leader this one would be a slam dunk

I just hope TBS doesn't have those idiot Brave Announcers for the playoffs :))

It sort of helps if your "moving" area is located in an area where the locals are CONUS rather than spot beam. In my case when I moved from NY to SC I just never told them I moved. I put up my own dish and just plugged the receivers in. Paperless billing took care of any mail. And the NYC major...

Thanks Buddyboy....You are correct. After some crawling in the attic tracing the 2 wires into the house, it is 2 lines carrying all 3 sats. Problem solved. Now I will have to run a 3rd line for the OTA to the junction box in garage and can diplex the lines in there. Thanks for all your input

That didn't work. Seems the 2 lines coming off the dish one is the 61.5 sat and the other line is the 110, 119 sats. When I diplexed off 1 line I lost the 61.5 but had OTA and 110, 119 reception. So my original question will the Winegard DP-3020 work? It has 2 Sat In and 1 Antenna in with 2...

running seperate cables not an option. House is already prewired and at some point would have to join the signals together. Pixalation shouldn't be a problem since transmitters are 25 miles away and signals are strong

I have the following set up. 2 Dishes Dish 1 pointed at 61.5 bird wire runs to Dish2 500 which points at 110, 119 birds. 2 wires coming out of Dish 500 into house. Both Dishes have LBB's with built in switch. If I add an outdoor OTA antenna for HD Locals, do I have to split both lines going into...

Ok the elevation on both dishes looks like its 55

I have 2 Dishes on for the 61.5 and the other for 119, 110. The 61.5 dish sits on a pole 2 ft high and the main dish on a 3 ft pole. If I put up a 6 ft fence to enclose my backyard how far from the dishes does it need to be to insure I won't be blocking my signals.

We moved into a brand new development in Dec of 06. A week after having my Dish Mover installation done. I received a letter from the HOA stating I was in violation because my dish was visible from the street. Now I have 2 dishes, main one for the normal channels and a second dish pointing at...

Jay yes, I have a 61.5 dish because I could only get 50 on the 129 sat. So I needed a dish pointed at 61.5 to get the HD channels. Well thanks for the reply this should be a no brainer for me :)

I live in Charleston SC but maintain a summer home outside of NYC. My question is would I be able to get the NYC HD locals in Charleston when I move my equipment for the winter months
