Just got the dishHD Essentials package for AT250 last Saturday (no more 5 channel HDPak for me) so I'm looking at the All HD guide list and I'm really impressed, at first. Then I realize that almost every channel, including my HD locals, is repeated at least twice at different channel numbers, some thrice.
WUWT? I know they are probably coming from different satellites, but why? Is Dish in transition as to the final home for these channels? Seems like a pathetic waste of bandwidth. Which ones will disappear later the 9XXX numbered ones or the 3 digit ones (only want to make my Favorites lists once)? Is one signal stronger or better in my location than the other(s)?
Trying to decide which of the duplicates to use and put into Favorites lists. Answer, comments, advice?
