I see the Charlotte HD stations are coming in a couple of weeks on 118.7. I currently have a 622 with two cables , each running to a DP21 switch. One side of each switch is connected to a Dish 500 (110 & 119) and a Dish 500 (61.5) What do need to install in order to get the Charlotte HD locals when they become available?

A new dish... either a Dish 500+, or Dish1000+
Those have a combined lnb to pick up both 118.7 and 119, then you'll have a single lnb for 110, and 61.5 or 129 (whichever you go with)

Ok...it looks like you are going to need(assuming you don't have a line of sight to 129) a D-500 Plus upgrade. The Charlotte HD locals are bounced off the 118.75 sat...
