I got all of them back, thanks Dish, good job. Outside Louisville. :)

It sounds like they are making progress. Hope they get it fixed and all the channels moved back before the Super Bowl. I can't get half of the local HD channels even with an amplified antenna.

Dish offered to send out a install person to point it to 72 but it would cost me $65. No thanks, I'll wait impatiently.

Just got off the phone with the Dish tech person and they said Louisville HD locals are on 72.7 but they will be going back on 77 when they get it working but they do not know when that will be.

lost HD channels in Louisville Still don't have HD channels in the Louisville area because of the outage.

I would stay where you are for now. I've been with Dish for about 12 years. You might call them and tell them you have been with Dish for 10 years and see what they might do, it doesn't hurt to ask. Also tell them you are considering Direct, that might motivate them to do everything they can...

Just wanted to pass this information on to everybody. If you have trouble getting TV 2 remote to work, try using Lithium batteries. They are a lot stronger and fixed my problem of having to press buttons several times and point the remote in different directions. Now it works everytime. I...

You should be able to hit 129 with a wing dish. It's hard to fine and the signal is weak now but will get much better around January. You may have to shoot between the trees, your wing dish can be a pretty good distance from your main dish to be able to find it. When I was trying to find 129...

Have a great holiday and count me in. I really enjoy what you are doing.

I agree it's probably the cable. I had a similar situation happen to me. I replaced the cable from the dish into my receiver and the problem went away.

One other thing I thought was a little interesting. When they installed the dish for 77 they said I was the first person in southern Indiana to get locals HD off the satelllite.

Well, we just got done with the install. In Louisville they will try and use the 10.4 dish if you have MPEG4 and the new card and use the eastern arc. With my install because living in the woods I have to have a separate dish for 129 and 77 and then one dish for 110 and 119. This means I have...

They are suspose come out this afternoon. I'll tell you how it goes.

It looks like they are broadcasting 41, 15 and others in SD on 77.
