There will be a satellite arriving to provide addtional services.

It's FSS, so it will still require a dish of size similar to the superdish

Lot of reading but check out http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=62295

We also posted photos of the new Dishes today which will pickup 118.7 in our pub member area. We will be making those pictures available to all soon.

118.7 and broadband maybe???

what if Chuck had us plug our computer into the ethernet port on the VIP recievers to supply our computers with broadband access. Just another thought for the ethernet port

Will It Work?

I have three Dish 500. One for 110/119 one for 129 and one pointed at 148.
148 is only for one channel, CBSHD Los Angeles. I was thinking about removing this dish due to the addition of Portland HD Lil's. Now I am hesitating due to the new Sat location. My question is: will this dish work for 118.75?

Seen it on 2800 and a 3900 so its most likely showing on all receivers except for 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 7100, 7200, JVC-VHS.

The dish will not need to be near the size of a SuperDish to work. The dishes will only need to be an inch larger than the current ones in order to pick up the additional slot.

why wouldn't a Superdish work? Its already big enough for 105 or 121 which is the same as 118.7

I know the LNB's would have to be swapped out
