Dish Network~ To Use 61.5 for?

[Spike]

Now that the sale of the 61.5 satellite has been approved, what can we expect to happen? There is a lot of space just sitting there. What scenarios are viable & possible?

I'd like to see some more HD... Soon?

what about HD home shopping channels ?? Now theres something everyone wants.

 

[BobMurdoch]

In their FCC filing they said that they hadn't decided and that they were either going to use it for additional HD channels for all, HD LIL, or use the capacity to help them deal with the nixing of their two dish solution (ie. shift all of the locals to 61.5 instead of just the "secondary" ones that aren't viewed as often)

If they are wanting to do away with the superdish,why not use the 61.5 bird for east coast locals. I know in my area (East Tennessee) the 129 bird would be hard to hit with an elevation of 26. Not sure what the plans are for HD ,but if there is alot room on 61.5.

reposition your 61.5 dish twards 129 satellite to save some money

Ha you think 129 at 29 degrees el. is hard to hit. try coming up to oregon or wshington where 61.5 is at like 10-11 degrees el. that and the monster trees we are know for up here. lots of fun let me tell you.

Heck 119 is at 26-28 degrees here, depending where you are in the state.

Well, on that note, I should quit bitchin' about 19 degrees el to 61, and give it a try!
...but 129 is so much closer...
