Buffalo, NY locals

[jsnew610]

About a week ago the Buffalo, NY locals, not networks. PBS, IND, etc were uplinked to 61.5 TP13 as "NA" along with the active HD's. Anyone know when they will be available? I have an EA and have not been able to get any Buffalo stations other than HD because the rest are on 110/119. Dish aslo uplinked other locals like Syracuse, etc and made them "NA". I guess going towards that 1 dish solution.

they have to make sure the signal is good before releasing them to the public. Normally its a couple weeks but in all honesty who knows

Thanks Iceberg

I've been getting the Buffalo locals in HD on 61.5, TP 13 for a long time now and the SD locals on 110.

Is Buffalo going to all EA or hybrid (110/119) and 61.5?

 

[Mr Tony]

Buffalo is going all EA. The non HD channels are mirrored now on 61.5 but not turned on yet for customers

Iceberg any thoughts on whether ION W ch 217 will be simulcast on EA. Lost it when went to EA. Before I had 216 & 217.

 

[Mr Tony]

really dont know that one. I know for some reason Ion-West isnt on EA and maybe it has to do with it being a west coast feed (well delayed 3 hours) and Eastern Arc

Is Buffalo EA yet? Intertech won't install it for me even thought Dish said they should.

 

[Mr Tony]

Buffalo right now is Eastern Arc with a wing dish at 110 so you can get the rest of your locals

When did this happen and how did you try to get them to switch? They're coming out tomorrow morning for me and Executive Resolutions set up the appointment and said I'd be getting a 1000.4. They didn't say that Intertech would be doing it but I'm sure it will be them, hoping they actually have a 1000.4 to set up. Seeing as how they'll need them next week anyway I'd hope so...

Now if they would only resolve their Dolan issues with MSG-HD, I would come back to Dish this fall.

So as of the 21st I'll be able to go to a single dish again? Currently have 110/119/61.5.
I didn't want to bother with changing anything as long as I still needed 2 dishes. Like.... what's the difference if I'm 110/119 with a wing to 61.5 or EA with a wing to 110?

HOWEVER... if I can have a single dish pointing southeast, I'd have a much cleaner line of site. Right now to the south west I have some trees that will eventually cause problems and they're not mine to cut.
