    Dish new HD Pack for Puerto Rico

    I'm in St. Croix and they appeared for me yesterday in the 170is channel range. No calls, no problems, they were just there. Now if only I could get them to turn on VS in HD for hockey season off of 61.5 I'd be set. So now if you live in the USVI, off of 1 4 foot Dish you can get quite a bit...

    550x-552x HD channels showing up on 110 in USVI

    LOL the beach isn't as much fun at night and you can only drink so much before your liver gives out :) Actually, it can be a bit rough living down here sometimes...island fever catches up with you a bit if you are a city boy like myself. Getting Dish really helped cure that....I'm a huge...

    550x-552x HD channels showing up on 110 in USVI

    Thanks for the info, as I said on the other thread (HI thread which I saw after I made this one), it's like they are toying with us down here as we can get those channels on 61.5 but they won't open them up...now they show them as available on 110 but they are spotbeamed so "not really." Grrr...

    New HD Channels in Hawaii

    So here's my beef, all of those channels come in on 61.5 but they won't open them to us. Instead we get dummy channels off of 110 that don't work down here. Ridiculous. Thanks all for the info though!

    New HD Channels in Hawaii

    They are showing up in the USVI now but I get a slate saying they are working on them..wonder if they are going to spotbeam them here as well eventually or if this is just a glitch (since we get the same HD pack as you guys in HI but have been left out of the recent spotbeam stuff). Just turn...

    550x-552x HD channels showing up on 110 in USVI

    I was going through the All HD section of the guide today in the VI and a ton of new HD channels appeared. They are the AK/HI spotbeam slots on 110. When i tune them in I get a slate saying that "we are working to restore these channels." Any thoughts on what is going on? I would not be...

    Technical questions and advice - Caribbean: HD/Regular/FTA

    Thanks, I am getting my locals through all american direct though cuz we have no locals market in the USVI. They don't seem to coordinate very well with Dish, you get separate billing and everything so I wonder if I can change my service with Dish and keep my "distant locals" with them. Still...

    Technical questions and advice - Caribbean: HD/Regular/FTA

    Thx, yep I have a 6 foot dish pointing at 61.5 now that is getting most but not all of the transponders. I also have a 4 footer that has a bracket on it so that it is getting 110 and 119 (signal in the 40's). I worked with a retailer here (Paradise Satellite) and know that he can get about 31...

    Technical questions and advice - Caribbean: HD/Regular/FTA

    No love from Dish on letting me add the channels that we know we can receive down here. The CSR was nice and said she'd forward along my comments. This is really stupid, I am already paying $10 a month, so what if I can't get "all" of the TurboHD Gold Package. I'd take what I can get in addition...

    Technical questions and advice - Caribbean: HD/Regular/FTA

    Any update on getting the channels on 61.5 in the USVI? I live in St. Croix and am now receiving 110 and 119 on a single 4 foot dish and have my 6 foot dish pointed at 61.5. Doing this added a few HBO and Cinemax HD channels and the NHL Network HD. Center Ice may be in HD too (I'll find out...
