I was told that only 110,119 & 61.5 Setup would work in my area. I live in Bar Harbor, Maine. Is this true??
This is my guess of why there was no mention of the new channels on the Tech Chat last night.I think Dish is counting on the fact that most subs are ignorant to new channels being added. It's only the more knowledgeable ones like us that are aware we are getting screwed.
Hitting 129 would be hard. I can hit it here in Connecticut but not by much.I was told that only 110,119 & 61.5 Setup would work in my area. I live in Bar Harbor, Maine. Is this true??

Scott, Is there any other setup that might work for me? Or am I just screwed for right now?
Thx, Josh
I know of at least one call they will be getting.This is my guess of why there was no mention of the new channels on the Tech Chat last night.
Their phones would be ringing off the hook on Thursday if the new HD was not in their guides.
you would need to go to Eastern Arc (61.5,72.5,77)
very odd they didnt put you on EA from the getgo (noting your start date of Sept 09) unless 72 & 77 dont work there due to footprint?
Only BBC America will be on 61.5 all other new HD channels will be on 72.5.
Yup, I always like to be forewarned when the green weenie is about to be slipped.It's only the more knowledgeable ones like us that are aware we are getting screwed.
Dish 1000.4 is really the only dish that would work
well that and 3 DIsh 500's or 300's with single LNB's on it
What happened to only New Subs will be setup on Eastern Arch? Existing subs will be fine with the current setup. My locals are on 61.5 and always have been. I have a wing dish for it with a primary pointed at 110 and 119. I'd call Dish and have a 1000.4 installed, but there is 2 feet of snow on the ground here in VA and my dishes are mounted 8 feet up on the side of my house. Not a good time for anyone to be on a ladder swapping dishes.
I would go with the Dish 100.4 I guess. I really don't want a third dish on my roof. Dish better come out her for "Free" and do it or you will hear yelling at DISH from here.

they charged me $50 for the 61.5 addon for HD (was free for customers who had locals on the wing)I would go with the Dish 100.4 I guess. I really don't want a third dish on my roof. Dish better come out her for "Free" and do it or you will hear yelling at DISH from here.

OK,
I have a 1000.2 dish (I think?). I believe I am on western arc, I have 110 / 119 / 129 satellites.
What will I have to do to get BBC America on 61.5 and all the other new HD channels on 72.5?
A 1000.2 will work fine. ALL of the new HD channels will be on 129.
Yeah, They told me they can't do EA installs here. What dish would I need for that? Or could I use the 2 Dish 500's that I have right now?
I really don't want to buy a new dish and it not work out.
Thx, Josh
Thanks Scott! :up
