Thanks Nelson for the excellent information. I should have just waited for you to answer.
Eastern Arc Migrations in 57 DMAs, effective January 17, 2014;
DMA Map Updates in 20 Counties Delayed
UPDATED
December 18, 2013
Eastern Arc migrations
In order to prepare for the launch of the Echo 18 satellite, existing Residential, MDU Residential and Public/Private customers in 57 DMAs must begin to be migrated to the Eastern Arc and upgraded to all MPEG-4 equipment. Effective January 17, 2014, existing customers in these DMAs who call DISH for any service that requires a truck roll — with the exception of trouble calls and dishNET installations — will be required to switch to the Eastern Arc and upgrade to MPEG-4 equipment; DISH will be completing these changes.
Some of these DMAs have already flipped to the Eastern Arc for new customer installations.
• Presque Isle, Maine
• Watertown, N.Y.
• Bowling Green, Ky
• Wheeling, W.Va.
• Dothan, Ala.
• Binghamton, N.Y.
• Utica, N.Y.
• Chattanooga, Tenn.
• Madison, Wisc.
• Portland, Maine
• Quincy, Ill.
• Rochester, N.Y.
• Traverse City, Mich.
• Wilmington, N.C.
• Columbia, S.C.
• Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pa.
• Albany, N.Y.
• Boston, Mass.
• Buffalo, N.Y.
• Greenville, N.C.
• Knoxville, Tenn.
• Milwaukee, Wisc.
• Syracuse, N.Y.
• Bangor, Maine
• Burlington, Vt.
• Columbia, Mo.
• Flint, Mich.
• Florence, S.C.
• Green Bay, Wisc.
• Harrisburg, Pa.
• Jackson, Miss.
• Lansing, Mich.
• Monroe, Ark.
• Greenville, S.C.
• Macon, Ga.
• South Bend, Ind.
• Davenport, Iowa
• Little Rock, Ark.
• Springfield, Mo.
• Evansville, Ind.
• Paducah, Ky.
• Jacksonville, Fla.
• Lexington, Ky.
• Greenwood, Miss.
• Elmira, N.Y.
• Augusta, Ga.
• Ft. Wayne, Ind.
• Baton Rouge, La.
• Charleston, S.C.
• Gainesville, Fla.
• New Orleans, La.
• Panama City, Fla.
• Peoria, Ill.
• Tallahassee, Fla.
• Albany, Ga.
• Johnstown, Pa.
• Rockford, Ill.
New customers in the two DMAs below will need to be installed with MPEG-4 equipment, regardless of HD subscription, but will remain on the Western Arc. Existing customers in these DMAs will begin to be migrated to all MPEG-4 equipment as part of the migration to Echo 18.
• Witchita, Kan.
• Shreveport, La.
Second DMA Map Update
Due to FCC regulations, DISH must periodically update the qualification process for our local network programming to ensure that we are using the most current Nielsen Co. data. As a result, 20 counties will switch to different DMAs (see list below). These changes will not be occurring on January 17, as was previously communicated. We will notify impacted Retailers when a new date for these DMA Map updates has been set.
Existing DISH customers in these counties will be allowed to remain in their current DMA, but will be migrated to the new DMA upon request. At that time, if an existing customer would like to switch into their new DMA, all existing Business Rules will apply. Also after the change takes effect, new customers will automatically be in the new DMA when they are qualified for locals.
Some of these changes may result in some customers being switched to the Eastern Arc, as well as additional changes.
• The following counties are moving into DMAs that are Eastern Arc only. All new customers must be installed on the Eastern Arc and have MPEG-4 equipment, regardless of Plan:
o Florence County, Wisc.
o Izard County, Ark.
o Pemiscot County, Mo.
o Ripley County, Mo.

Cutting Edge
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....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.
