Digi, have you heard if the New Orleans Fox Channel (ch 8) will be HD or SD, because last week when they were uplinked, NBC, CBS, and ABC channels said MPEG4 HD, but the Fox channel said MPEG4 SD. We were hoping that was a typo, but have you been able to find out if we will get Fox in HD, or SD...

Digi, since they are puting the Lafayette, La. HD locals on Ciel 2 at 129 do you think they will put the New Orleans HD locals, whenever they do provide them, on 129 also? I thought in the past you said they would probably be on 61.5. I hope they put them on 129 because then I won't need to get...

So if they are putting CSTNO HD on 129 is that a good sign that we might get the New Orleans HD locals soon, and that they will be on a 129 spotbeam instead of 61.5?

Digi have you heard any update on when dish will carry the New Orleans HD locals?

I agree, put all the HD in a set number range such as 94xx wether or not they have a SD counterpart.

Dennispap I wish they would do that, but new Orleans wasn't even on Dish list of HD locals comming this summer and fall, so no telling how long before we get our HD locals here in the Cresent City

About how long will it take to move E 2 and E 6 once they actually start moving them? Are we talking days, weeks or months to get them to 77 and 72?

I think P. Smith is on to something, this could be related to Eastern Arc

I have a question, didn't Dish own a financial stake in VOOM? I thought they had bought a 20 or 25 % stake in Voom back a few years ago. Maybe I am wrong, but if I am remembering correctly why would Dish under mine a company they own? Well I could take or leave Voom, so as long as they add...

Maybe Charlie has 10 new national HD channels he wants to light up so he deleted the 10 less popular Voom channels to give him the bandwith he needed to give us more new HD. I for one could take or leave Voom. It was all Hd and had some good stuff, but 99% of the time it was stuff I had watched...

All this time everyone was calling Chuckie a no good Mother, for not adding new HD, and then on Mother's Day he makes the big anouncement about 22 new national HD channels to start the next day. Yip I think Chuckie got the last laugh, how ironic.

There has to be another uplink. I have been watching these for months, and they have never had one with just 9 changes, especially now that they are moving so many things around to get ready for Eastern Arc. There has to be another uplink coming later today or tonight. However, it probably won't...

That is nice to hear about 129 Digi, and with the 2 already on 110 (scifi & USA) that means they could light up 23 national HD channels any day now. So maybe they will do that soon, opps I said the bad "S" word

Yes I know SciFi and USA are on 110. Does anyone know if they have any extra bandwith on 110 or 119 to put new HD for niw so that everyone could see them until they work through some of the problems with 129, or get people a wing dish for 61.5, then they could then move the new HD to 61.5?

Digi, I am still confused on something. Even if they add this about 24 new HD channels by sometime in May, which Scott keeps saying will happen, I assume they will all be on 61.5. I don't get 61.5, but I keep hearing they will be mirrowed on 129. Where is all this extra space on 129. For months...

So do you have any idea when the satelllite will be at 72.5? Is this a new one yet to be launched or one they are reloacating. I know there is already one at 77.

dennispap, do you know anything about Direct? I live in the New Orleans area an what I was wondering is if I switched to Direct would I be able to get everything including HD locals on one dish, or would I also need two dishes like I will probably need to have with Dish network, if they ever get...

Next week, why is it always next week. I am happy for you guys who got your HD locals (especially Cleveland), but we guys who still have not gotten our HD locals, and again haven not gotten any new national HD, we get a big fat nothing. Bummer, I am getting sick of waiting until next week.

Hey Scott I know you don't know for sure, but can you give us some approximate timeline as to when you thing Dish will turn on the Eastern Arc i.e. all MPEG4 service using 61.5. Do you think it will happen in a month or 3 months, six months or more. Just your best guess, becuase obviosly your...

Thanks for the info ggw2000. I know he said it would be released in the Pub, but I thought he said he would tell the general memebership shortly there after, interesting that is not about Dish or Direct, must be satelliteguy website related. Thanks again

off subject, but did Scott release the big anouncement yet that he was talking about on Friday? I have been away from my computer, and I haven't seen anything since I got a chance to get online.

Welcome bforce, and it sounds like your source is saying new national HD will be comming SOON Wow we never heard that before Just joking

Thanks for the info guys. You definitly get quicker, and more accurate answers here than you get from the Dish CSR folks.

Hey NOhdjunkie I see we are in the same area. I am in Abita Springs, and it looks like you know more about this stuff than I do so let me ask you a question. After May will we need to add a second dish at 61.5, or will we be able to get everything with one new dish aimed at 61.5? I currently...

I am so confussed. I have a 622, with the 250 package, and Hd, and locals (but not my hd locals yet, they aren't available). I see 110/119/129, and I live in Louisiana, so what will I need after May (Eastern arc) to get everything I have now, plus my HD locals (when they become available)? A...
