3 dishs on roof normal???

[dan188]

Is it common to have three seperate dishs installed for service? I have 110/119 on one dish and the other two are for 72.7 and 61.5

 

[Mr Tony]

2 yes...fair amount of folks have 2 dishes on the roof. Can be the old mixed arc setup (110/119/61.5) or someone may have Dish and DIrectv dishes up there
3 not so much. I do though (2 KU dishes and Directv)

 

[dan188]

Ok. When I got hd I got 61.5 added my set up. Not sure why I didn't get 72 added insted orginaly cause when new hd launced it didn't launch on 61.5 just 129 and 72

 

[dan188]

Do I need all four signals. 110/119/61.5/72.7

 

[isaacmorseMI]

You just need 110/119/129 or a pure WA setup. As you're locals are on 119.

 

[dan188]

I can't get 129 due to trees in the park across the street of my house

 

[dan188]

If I disconected 61.5 would I loose anything

 

[isaacmorseMI]

You would loose all of your HD if you disconnected 61.5.

 

[dan188]

Some hd is only on 72.7 and 129

 

[isaacmorseMI]

Oh yeah.

 

[dan188]

So I can't drop 72.7

 

[isaacmorseMI]

So I can't drop 72.7

Nope.

 

[dan188]

So I'm the only one in town with dishs on my roof. Lol

 

[isaacmorseMI]

Unless other people in town don't have LOS for a pure EA or WA setup also.

 

[dan188]

No one in my town has 3 dishs unless they are a tv station

 

[isaacmorseMI]

Well at least they found a way to get you the programming you pay for.

 

[dan188]

True

 

[dan188]

Makes me feal like a local tv station lol

 

[CK SatGuy]

Eventually, when all HD is migrated to 72.7, you can drop 61.5 since your locals are not HD yet. And your already getting the SD stuff on 110 and 119

I have 3 and I'm not a TV station although I used to work for several.
