Confused!!!

[Zaxcom]

I am new to E*, I have a 1000+ dish (110,118.7,119,129). Am I missing something by not looking at 61.5? Are some of the channels I am getting in MPEG2 actually in MPEG4 on 61.5? Or will it not matter as they will all be MPEG4 soon?


Thx

If you are using a SD receiver then 61.5 doesn't offer much.
If you have a HD receiver then 61.5 is good to have.

Also what are you subscribing to? AEpak and Family Pak provide different programming/satellite needs.

I have a VIP722, AT250, HD essentials.

There are a few public interest (PI) channels on 61.5 that aren't available elsewhere. Other than that, you're probably not missing much.

The only reason you might need 61.5 is if dish adds your HD Locals to that dish. if they are on a another dish for that then your are good with what you got.

My locals are on another satellite, so that is not a concern. In fact I am easily able to get all my locals off air, so most of the time I use OTA for local HD.

By not having 61.5, you are missing all the best programming, which is only known to those who have the Secret Illuminati Password. *

That is why none of that programming is listed on the Dish Network web site, because they were forced to remove it by the Reptilian Aliens. *
