Confused. Some HD channels keeping moving from 61.5 to 72.7 back to 61.5.

I noticed certain channels like Nick, CN, Spike, TWC would be on 61.5 one day and then the next day it would be on 72.7. Right now those channels are on 72.7 but a couple of days ago they were on 61.5 before that they were on 72.7. I don't see anything with the uplink report that has changed. I do prefer Nick on 72.7 as when it is on 61.5 it is on Transponder 27 which is weaker than the others.

I know some HD channels are mirrored on both 61.5 and 72.7 right now as DISH is transitioning them from 61.5 to 72.7. It's only temporary though. There are threads on here that talk about how the receiver chooses which satellite if the same channel is on two them.

So when the receiver does a nightly reboot it randomly chooses what satellite to choose if a HD channel is both mirrored on 61.5 and 72.7?

Yeah, pretty much.

Yeh, I finally got my letter in the mail to get my dish repointed or I will soon be out of luck for HD so it is happening soon.
