Now, that makes everything worse. It's going to really hard to for us to pick up 77. And we can't pick up 129. I guess Maine is Screwed all together.

Scott, but the EA customers will get all these channels to, right? SO they will add the new locals on 77 & 72?
Scott, should we read this as no agreement with Epix or the agreement falling apart?
All the transponders and satellite positions of the TMP channels is in the uplink report...first post of this thread.
I have a D500+ with 61.5 as a wing dish. If I mount a LNB opposite the 110 LNB with bracket, so you have from behind dish 129, 119/118.7, 110 would that make it a D1000.2? Is the reflector the same size? I would not want to reposition 61.5 because of location, hard to get to. Thanks
I think he meant that they are only on 129 and not to be added to 110 or 119. They will still show up on 72.7 for us EA customers (and one of them on 61.5).
Not at all.
Any chance the smiley means you have more insight into this? And, if so, can it be shared?
so If I have a dish pointed at 110,119 and 129.will I get all the new channels.i'm in the eastern area.but what is ea?
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.
Bingo!
Of course there's an outside chance, as Scott will readily admit, that the sources telling him these channels won't be on 61.5 are as wrong as the ones who told him they would be.
If Dish does do this then the sat at 61.5 must really be falling apart. It's a drastic step (IMO). And there's no way of telling if or when we who have 110/119/61.5 setups will get these (or other) additional channels. We just need to assume the necessity of switching to EA or to another provider.
In my case I also have cable, which has E!-HD and TruTV HD. I don't care about the movie channels; the only channels I'd like to have are FSC-HD and BBC-A HD and it appears I'll get the second one. So no big deal for me but I'm sure it will enrage others who rely on 61.5.

When I go to the Dish retailer website and I enter my zip code this is what it states below:
Closest Records to: Claremont, NH
1 Records Found (displaying 1 to 1)
Western Arc DMA, You may use both MPEG2 and MPEG 4 Equipment.
Burlington et al VT-NY,
But, if I do this I will not be able to receive local HD channels since they are on 61.5.
This doesn't make sense.
Scott, would this information above be accurate?
Thanks!

Nope take a look at last nights uplink report, and that goes with some internal documents that I was sent shortly after "The Scotty Chat" went off the air.Bingo!

It looks like they wil launch on 129 and 72.7.
Yea, well, it was worth a shot, as I really would like FSC-HD.
I would probably call and see if I could get EA installed but, even if they would do it, I would probably need to re-up for another 2 years (I'm currently out-of-contract) and with FIOS so close (they're pulling the fiber into the complex as I type) I really don't want to commit.
Thanks for posting that (depressing) news.
The plans were to put it on 61.5 but with the satellite issues on 61.5 the past few weeks they couldnt do it.
They have to launch these channels so this is how they are doing it for now. I do expect them to migrate when E6 is moved to 61.5.

Interesting dilemma...
A friend of mine has a mixture of receivers (722, 622, and 522).
Our HD-Locals are on 77. So to support that and the non-vip 522 he has 61.5, 77, 110 & 119 going into a DPP-44 switch.
To get those new HD channels, 72 will now need to be entered into the mix. I wonder if Dish will swap out his 522 for a 612 for free in order to get everything since they don't support 5 sat. setups?

Like Scott said, all will be fine for you but I would consider "future proofing" your setup by adding a wing dish pointing to 61.5. This will connect to your 1000.2 without the need for a switch and you should be able to pickup a dish to point to the 61.5 cheap. I used an older 1000 to point to the 61.5 and it's connected to my 1000.2 pointing to the usual 110/119/129.
Once similiarly set up, you won't have any concerns about receiving any new programming.
Baikonur (spelling?) Cosmodrome my a**!
Funny how the worm turns. Wasn't it just last year this time (or perhaps a bit further back) that those pointed at 129 were at the mercy of a failing satellite?

As stated earlier, ALL of the new channels will be on 129. You will receive all of them provided you have the proper subscriptions. We don't know that criteria yet.
