MPEG 4 receivers cannot process 72.7 or 77 slot signals. Eastern Arc is MPEG 4 only.
I think you are saying MPEG 2 receivers.
MPEG 4 receivers cannot process 72.7 or 77 slot signals. Eastern Arc is MPEG 4 only.

Automatic.When Dish starts or changes the HD programming from the 61.5 to the 72 satellite will I have to do a check switch to get my receivers to update the channels and satellite info and for the guide info as well? Or will every thing automatically be updated?
They are required by US law, and 61.5 is a US slot, so they should not be going anywhere.how about pi channels are they staying on 61.5 or going to 72.5, thanks

In fact, since 72.7/77/129 are Canadian and Mexican slots, there are no PI channels there at all.
My point was, when it comes time to do the mailings which source will they get their info from: STB health data or the database the CSRs have access to?? I would bet on the CSR database. In my case they were different at that time...
Well, I really hate it when I pay money for something that others in the same predicament get for free. So I payed attention here and wrote the ceo address (twice before getting a reply) and got my 1000.4 for free. Didn't you? I also got an android phone upgrade (Samsung Behold 2) for free out of T-mobile. But that's for another forum.By not paying ($15 or about $100) you may have a warm feeling of justification, but not as many channels. And Dish doesn't even notice your "loss." But I'll bet they'll eventually do it for free for you.
I get the impression some folks here are going to re-aim to 72.7 from 61.5 Real Soon. If you do, you will lose some channels. They have not yet duplicated those 61.5 channels on 72.7. Patience. Or surrender and have Dish put up an EA setup.
Isn't the point of this thread of moving my Dish 300 from 61.5 to 72.7 is to receive the HD that is moving from 61.5 to 72.7? LOL
I am going to move from the WA to the EA due to a 129 impending tree issue. I have single 24inch satellite dishes. Is there any reason to acquire the 77 bird? Lyngsat only shows locals that are distant on 77. Thanks!
I am gonna ditch the 4900 and buy my son a 211.
Is re-pointing my Dish 500 from 110/119 to 72.7/77 necessary and keep the Dish 300 at 61.5? I can save $5 because I get my HD locals via QAM in 2 rooms and my antenna in main living room.
So what's on 61.5 for core HD is already on 72.7? i dont have time to look at the list, im at work
Go ahead and move that dish from 61.5 to 72.7... you won't be LOL'ing for long once you see what 110/119/72.7 gives you.
Lyngsat isn't always up to date like TheList is here (automated in real time). But at this time only HD locals are on 77. But since they are requiring people to have either a 61/72/77 or 110/119/129, you could lose out on programming if they decide to move things around one day. That's the beauty of removing these hybrid setups. They can slide programming around the arcs with no worries of cutting off customers on standard approved installs.

Yes and not exactly. You will have to replace the 625 with another capable of MPEG4 if you go Eastern Arc. That's the bad news. The good news is that you can jettison both DP34s in favor of the integrated DPP switch inside the 1000.4 LNB assembly.Is it correct that if I change to the Dish 100.4, I will need to replace my 625 and both switches?
