Maybe they finally were embarrassed to have hung them out to dry for so long and granted them a mercy uplinking.
On Apr 1st, you will probably see a slate channel that says "April Fools! the viacom channels are coming soon."I DO include April 1st, since Charlie said we'd have the Viacom channels "BY April 1."
That is exactly what is going to happen. ALL HD locals on 118.75w will be moved to 129w! For the few people in those markets who have D500+ instead of Dish1000+ they will get a free upgrade, but this means that people who live in these markets no longer need a + dish unless they want international stations.
Must have been waiting the last couple of years for carriage agreements or infrastructure. Sure looks like it could and should have been done sooner if that transponder wasn't full, given the DMA size.
Well, I can hardly wait for those Detroit HD's to move to 129, really didn't want to get involved with the 2nd dish or the +dish system
If you had HD locals then you probably had a Dish1000+ installed. I would bet the Dish500+ w/ 61.5 is a very rare install.
I have never had OTA guide data for Charlottesville and assume that when they make this available that it should correct the problem?
Well, they never change to available in the reports. They do require a subscription to local channels and a receiver with an OTA tuner..
If Pittsburgh changes to 129, what chance that FSN-Pittsburgh HD changes to 129 and is turned off on 61.5?
Related note - I wish the HD RSNs could be completely duplicated between 129 and 61.5, since there are occasionally things on the west coast 129-only HD RSNs that I'd like to see on the east coast (without having to add a 129 dish to my 110/119/61.5 setup).

I have had locals through Dish for 4 years now and have had many chats with Dish about lack of OTA guide data.
It seems to surprise them every time I bring it up.
Well I am mad at myself for not reading that thread!!!! I am here every day and night...so upset!!!

Didn't say what year though....
M Sparks answered the first part, and the 119 beam has been available since 11/07 when the Phoenix locals got shuffled around. But 2008 turned into the year of the east as pretty much everything out west got back-burnered even if it was a publicly announced plan and had nothing to do with 61.5 or 129. The problem with the rest of the west was the delay in launching Ciel II due to unrelated launch failures that set the whole industry's schedule back.tman1991 said:
