Dish Rep said ATL and DAL locals now on spotbeam

[featherz17]

He told me that both the Atlanta and Dallas locals are now on a spotbeam, meaning you couldn't receive them if I "move" to Atlanta or Dallas.

Anyone know if this is true, or if E* plans on doing this?

Thanks.

Dallas has been on spotbeam for a while now

The Atlanta majors were supposed to go to Spotbeam on 6/1 but seem to have won a reprieve for now.

Atlanta HD on 129 is in full Conus.

Thats the ones I'm mainly interested in.

So the Atlanta HD locals are on the 129 and will continue to be on the 129? Is that right?

At;anta is supposed to be totally Spotbeam by the 1st of the month.

Do you mean SD only, or HD as well? (I assume SD only, but I hate to assume ANYTHING w/E* )

Would that include the HD as well, or is that just SD?

Thanks.

Is that both SD and HD?

 

[BFG]

no

 

[featherz17]

no

So the HD locals will remain on the 129?

 

[lakebum431]

Yes

Thanks.

Now all I have to do is put my order in and see when they can come hook it up.

Before you get to confident and complacent ask other poster how many times DISH has done something and then changed satellite locations. Superdish 105 & 121, HD on 61.5& 148 internationals on 118.7. Don't trust anything to last and until they are actually broadcasting the service don't believe it is coming.
