I can confirm that in my market (Greensboro NC) that locals on 119 MPEG-2 were shut off today. I can also confirm that the one receiver I have replaced so far (with a VIP211) is now receiving the locals on 119 MPEG-4. I’m going to eventually finish replacing receivers then changing Dish to...

I’ll plan on making full eastern switch but maybe changing just a receiver for now will give me a little time vs having to do complete swap out by Wednesday. Thanks to all in the forum for the advise and professionalism - sometimes forums can be a sarcastic place.

Interesting. I‘m assuming once I switch receivers, I will still need Address current dish/LNB (super dish) Setup aimed at 119? (Will current lnb work?) Or either switch out to 1000.2 eastern arc or if needing to stay with 119 do 1000.2 western lnb setup?

I wholeheartedly agree.

That answers my question. Thank you

Right now they are on 119 and 61.5 but the SD locals on 119 right now are being shut down this Wednesday- not sure if they will continue with HD locals on 119 after that or not.

This is follow up from previous thread just a little off topic. Replacing super dish SD to 1000.2 eastern arch. Finding that new trajectory has large tree block. Should I consider a western arch set up? 27410 area code(Greensboro NC). Relocating dish is possible, just will be fairly involved...

Many thanks. Glad everyone has been so accommodating to all My questions.

great. Thanks for clearing that up

I’m using just 119 now with the old equipment. I assume I’m in Eastern Arch? If so odd I’m still able to use the old equipment if that conversion has already been completed. Trying to be sure I’m purchasing correct dish

I would assume I’m on Eastern Arc in North Carolina. A little confused that if I’m on Eastern arch and Mpeg4 conversion has already been done why equip has been working to date - or have they allowed older equipment to still function until now ? Basically I’m only using 119 at this time. Thanks...

I think I’m understanding that I’ll need a 1000.2 eastern arc, something like VIP612 and VIP222 or VIP222k if I don’t want to do hopper. does there need to be a multi dish switch like my ole superdish? Any special coax ? again thanks for replies and suggestions

Actually on the super dish right now I’m only using 119. Any idea where my locals will be located after the change ?

In Greensboro NC

Thanks for the advise. Can Current dish antenna and positioning be kept? Best regards
