Last I heard is going to 148 so they can keep a satellite at this slot and comply with FCC rules. That is, if it makes it there.
I wouldn't say ouch.
We still have the following markets CONUS on 129:
Albuquerque, NM
Salt Lake City, UT
Wausau, WI
Nashville, TN
Los Angeles, CA
Sioux City, IA
San Angelo, TX
Abilene, TX
Get 'em out the way so more HD LILs can come online!
Agreed! And while they are at it, they should give those of us in Los Angeles KCAL 9 in HD.
Nope. They put them on TP 14 CONUS since they will actually be on TP 14 of the Spotbeam. Look here: SatelliteGuys.US - Subscription 129°W
With them TP14 on CONUS they are blocking quite a few other markets waiting.
I know lots of people keep asking... do you think they will leave "XYZ" CONUS on 129? My answer is....nope. Ciel-2 has spotbeams that cover just about the entire US. It would be a waste of multi-million dollar satellite to leave some locals CONUS, not to mention a huge waste of spectrum on 129.
The speculation I have heard about CONUS HD locals is for the All American Direct folks. But I haven't really seen anything "up there" to back this up yet, so don't get your hopes up.
There are many HD locals coming to Ciel-2. Hang tight....they have only started. They are moving all the CONUS stuff off to spotbeams first in order to kick the other spotbeams on. Then we will start to see the new markets come to light. It's more than just flipping some switches, lots of work to bring the locals to you.
Eastern Arc is just getting started, lots more to come. Dish will put as many markets as possible on both arcs to get more customers with line of sight issues.

And guess on a couple of DMAs that are listed on TheList on 129. No telling at this point though.
Looks like I'll be "moving" from Chicago to Albuquerque while waiting for a Montana spotbeam to become available. I probably missed the uplink report, but is there any word on when the Missoula or Bozeman/Butte DMA's will be available in HD.
nice work digi and nelson on the spotbeam maps I see Mpls/St. Paul is on spotbeam 14.....will check out the signal strength tonight when I get home..........

Dish has never said that, and I doubt that is their plan.
Between Eastern Arc and Western Arc, they barely have enough space for all the markets they need to add in the next 4 years.

When are they gonna more the Los Angeles channels over to spot beam??
it's the 2nd largest DMA!....
I guess they they figure they are going to be getting a lot of calls from people who "moved".... so are they waiting to move this one last so as to not flood their call center while transitioning other cities?
There a few beams pointed in the NE. Like I said before...just about the whole US is covered with 129 beams. Not sure about Maine.
Only Dish knows when they are going to move it. Why would they wait? They have other markets waiting to fire up next week. Time to get things out of the way and this week is the week to do it.
There shouldn't be any issues moving it. It covers the DMA quite nicely. And only the people located in that DMA are the ones watching the channels right?
Just for reference..they didn't play around with transitioning over the New York, NY DMA to spotbeam so I don't expect them to stall for Los Angeles.
Not yet. You'll be able to get them of TheList pretty soon. Until then just use this link and change the SB number to the one you want.

Looking forward to Spotbeam 30 transmitting St. Louis HD locals. Maybe less rain fade this spring.
Maybe less rain fade this spring.
My thoughts exactly! I figure they will have them all "beamed" by this weekend if not Monday AM at the latest.
Hope someone from Dish network is reading this thread.
If they move the LA HD off of CONUS and there are no more options for "movers" they are going to lose a lot their highest paying customers.
This is the reason a lot people have E* rather than D*.. Dish -pay attention, quit while you are ahead. You have already moved Denver and Chicago. Cease and desist.
