The way it is going now, when the no hd locals become available, they probably would be on 61.5.
As of now, there isnt one dish that can see 61.5,110,119,129.
A lot of additional dishes needed in the new orleans area

Yeah the NO locals are almost guaranteed to go on 61.5
After the Eastern Arc is complete and the New Orleans HD locals are up there you will want to add a 61.5 wing dish. Not sure what the time frame for the Arc is, but I don't think it will be a one dish solution in the near future.
You should be all set for now with 129. Any new national HD that goes up will be on 61.5 and 129.

AFAIK* if AMC-14 had made it into the correct location.... Dish could have implemented a single dish Eastern Arc with as few as 2 sats (E12 and AMC14) by running exclusively MPEG4 and mirroring anything they needed from 110 & 119 onto AMC-14. But that didn't happen (yet)
So some of us, in DMAs with newly available HD Locals, will either have to wait for AMC-14 or spare(s) to get into position, up linked etc. Or add a wing dish for E12 (61.5) in the mean time.

*the above is my interpretation of what others have posted.
no way. those dish CSR's are full of wonderful helpful information and make changing programming packages or getting legit info a breeze.

Can you post a topic under the Dish forum that explains why channels will be duplicated on 61.5? A lot of people are asking the same questions that can be answered in your topic in the pub 'eastern arc'...this is too many pages of the same question...
thanks!

Anyone have any indication when STO HD at 61.5 is scheduled to go live? Been hoping for this move since last baseball season!
You seem to imply that in order to get the Five new HD channels, one will have to get a 61.5 Dish? Did you mean to imply that? Or would one assume that they would be mirrored on 129 (or elsewhere)?
Also, let's say that Dish decided to placate Baseball Fans in the Chicago area by picking up WGN (local) HD and WCIU HD. And while they are at it, they pick up WTTW and Maybe WYCC (both PBS) in HD.
In that case, would you expect that they would be on 61.5? Or would they be with the rest of the Chicago HD locals on 129? Or Both?
I heard something today about this that kinda worries and saddens me.
Thanks.

The popular answer seems to be "soon".
I live in Akron, without a view to the 129 satellite, too low on the horizon. I get OTA HDTV fine with my VIP 622 but have been looking forward to STO HD on 61.5.
Go Indians!
You're taking that wrong. They had 5 TEMP channels on 61.5 and 129. They basically went into limbo land while the spotbeams were being fired up on 61.5. They moved them back to a CONUS TP. So once again we have the 5 TEMP channels of HD on 129 and 61.5.
Oh I remember these! This was *RUMORED* to be WFN and the others we talked about months ago. Ha.
There is still a placeholder for it at channel 9432, but there is just a slate there (not the actual content).

...but it will be on Sunday and there's nothing expected between now and then.
