That's great news!! Did he say what it was going to look like? I look forward to consolidating my current antenna farm (actually my wife & neighbors probably would appreciate it more that me).
It would be a 30 inch dish pointed at 119/129. That still leaves some HD on 110 that isn't on those yet. I'll keep my 6 footer pointed at 129 for a while, I think it will come in handy once the RSNs go full time HD.
Yowsa
30 channels on the Ciel-2 HI/AK spots (20 are new to us, the other 10 can free up space on the e*10 spot and e*11 conus).
I imagine that the 11 additions to e*10 AK spot 46 (all new) are likely to show up in hawaii as well on spot 47.
Yep. The E-10 spot for AK/HI is the same uplink. It's just downlinked into AK and HI. The 129 AK/HI spots are separate, they can uplink different things to AK and HI on those.
I'm still thinking 110 is going to be used for AK/HI. No point in wasting beams they have designed for there and E-11 for designed with AK/HI in mind also.
8167(61) - WPPX [MPEG2 SD] added to EchoStar7 119W TP 14 ConUS beam (NA)(Wilmington, DE-N/A)
8167(61) - WPPX [MPEG4 SD] added to Echostar6 72.7W TP 31 ConUS beam (NA)(Wilmington, DE-N/A)
Dish is really pushing ION on people. We got East feed as well as West feed when programming is limited 80 percent of the time to info commericals. Seems like that made a deal with them.

I'm smiling from ear to ear. Just had my 6 ft. dish swung over yesterday and already gets alot more HD, but this is truly icing on the cake. Only thing lacking are the three locals that aren't on yet.
The dealer only mentioned 119/129. But it would be nice if they could center it on 119 and get the spots from 110/129. I think it would take a slighty larger dish though.
With the six foot dish and these changes we won't be missing much.
Are HDNet/Discovery HD Theater/HBO/Showtime still using the big mpeg2 bandwidths they had on the 110 satellite?
I'm hoping HDNet will retain its highest bit-rate and picture quality for demo purposes!

Congrats to AK/HI subscribers. Hope they make those channels available soon!
Now... where is the HD for Puerto Rico????

Interesting they are adding Pax/Ion all of a sudden. I guess to be like D*
Why would they add them to a CONUS TP?
edit: Looks like these arent uplinked...more like remaps. Ion is on TP14 too so they probably just remap it to the "local" Ion channel....so no bandwidth wasted

I never here anything about Evansville, Indiana stations going HD. Is there any way to find out when they will make the change?
