I'm located in mid-Michigan. I own and have installed all my own equipment. Originally solid Western arc (110, 119), with a side dish pointed at 61.5. I have America's 250, Platinum, SD and HD locals, and Starz (1 year free). VIP 622 receiver.
I'm in a DEEP woods very large and tall trees, and have separate larger dishes pointing through the tree line. I had to have 6 trees removed just to get what I have, that was costly. My dishes are presently pointed at:
119, 110, 72.7, and 61.5.
My SD locals are located on 110, my HD locals presently are located on 61.5. I could remove 119, because after going through all my channels several weeks ago, the only channels presently using that sat is the Sirius or Cd channels, nothing else. Those audio channels are mirrored on 72 if I remember right. Too cold now to go out and remove the wires from the 119 sat, and it's not critical anyway.
Ok, so I get this email saying I must upgrade, or lose channels. I called Dish, and talked to the CSR. I told her what I had, and she said that I MUST have a dish pointed at 129, or I was going to lose my HD channels. There's NO WAY I can get 129 here. It's too low on the horizon, because of 95 to 100 ft trees surrounding me. It's also behind a HUGE pine tree, that would cost me about $2,000 to remove. It's that large.
Anyway, even with all the arc changes going on, I can't see any reason that I would need 129 sat. Everything that's on 129, is also going to be (or is) on either 61.5 OR 72.7, even with the arc changes, correct?

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.Terrible tragedy.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.
