What happens to the conus locals still on 77? And what was the decision making process on which conus locals markets got moved from 77 to 61.5 and which didn't, since not all of them were?
. Guess we will find out what goes or remains where it is in the next couple of weeks as both quetzsat and E16 go into service. From their viewpoint, the less on 77w the better since it moves more customers into a less expensive dish/lnb assembly (two satellites instead of three).
Guess that explains why markets like Jacksonville, Cincinnati and Beckley are still on 77 conus.
If DISH does not provide HD from 61.5 this time I will really downgrade my 199.00 a month bill to 50.00. That is a fact. SD is a non starter. They can put up 1000 SD channels and it would be like nothing happened.
I made a resolution for 2013 and is that I will not pay full payment when so many HD channels have been missing for so long. Its hard to think that a Company that has been stalled with no growth and stuck at 14 million would do such a thing. Better get moving DISH if you don't wan't to face a Fiscal Cliff of your own. With people in the US facing less growth, more taxes & credit rating downgrade people will end up with much less cash to spend on TV.
DISH is playing with fire when prices go up in Feb and we can't even get the BB package lineup in PR while DTV has been moving here with multiple LNB's for more HD.
I am just being realistic. We in PR shall be watching what happens at 61.5. with HD.:
I know that aside from the many spots it has EA & WA coverage for CONUS.
Yes , a typo mental error on my part, and as of 10PM Mountain, Sat night (last epoch), it was still proceeding east 50 km below GEO. It had passed 61.5W at that time
