Are the atlanta HD locals up and running and if they are which bird are they on ?? Thanks....................

 

[BFG]

Yes, 129.

 

[jawja]

Hell, that figures, I can't hit 129...............

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Not many people can. I have no idea why they put Atlanta on 129. Way to low on the horizon.

Well if folks have a Dish 1000 should not be a issue.

I have the Atlanta HD locals but there is currently no NBC WXIA HD. I wonder is that because of a dispute between the owners of the station and Dish or is it just being slower to be added then the others. Anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking its better to go with a Dish 500 or Dish 300 (if still available) from what I've read from other posts. My 129 install is this afternoon (rained out lasted Saturday), so I'll be asking my installer to put up something other than a Dish 1000. I don't mind having a third dish up on my chimney since it can't be seen from the front or sides of the house.

Rain fade will be a serious problem for 129 come this spring when the heavy storms hit. Hopefully, 129 is a temporary spot and Dish is planning on moving the stations to E10 when it is ready for its debut.

Actually, I just sent an email to WXIA asking that very question. Guess I should send one to Dish as well, but I do need to get back to work!

BTW, WXIA is owned by Gannett. Many of Gannett HD channels are not up, based on the GoalieBob's uplink report.

I got my install in the rain last Saturday. I couldn't get 129 from where my Dish 500 was mounted. The installer checked with one of his sighting instruments and I would have to go to the front yard to get it. He put up a wing Dish 500 for 61.5. I get 2 Atlanta stations from dish. I have waivers for them as I'm in Franklin county, part of the Greenville / Spartanburg, SC DMA.

The 61.5 has a very strong signal, probably better than 110 & 119. I may try repointing to 129 from a different location.

Could be that Dish does not have a VHF anntenna---

J/k

What channels are the Atlanta HD feeds on?

ABC (WSB) channel 6365
CBS (WGCL) channel 6366
FOX (WAGA) channel 6368

I guess NBC is suppose to be at 6367, if and when it is allowed for us to view.

Wife just called to let me know the Dish installer has left. She checked the HD channels and (surprise!) they work!

It wasn't the installer I have been dealing with...so I didn't push for the D500 pointing to 129. Hope this D1000 does fine during storms. I will need to get a signal strength reading from 129 when I get home. I still have my old D500, and a never opened box with a D500 in it from a coworker. If the signals are bad, I may mount the dish myself and move the LNB over.

Actually I can answer that question.

NEVER.

WB is gone after this season - it will never make it to Dish.

Yeah, I read that The WB and UPN are forming one network called "CW" which is officially suppose to launch this Fall. The new Fall line up is expected to be announced this May. I hope DISH will give us the new network in HD.
