Everyone else posting may want to state the type of receiver being used since the 721 (and probably 921 too) only shows a signal reading up to 100. It may read the signal different than the other receivers do.

 

[Stargazer]

For those that have locals on 105 and 129, are they shutting off all of the 105 feeds or are they going to keep them all on? If they are shutting them off then do they plan on keeping those markets that also have them on 129 on 105 as well until they get space on 110 or do they not plan on putting them on 110 in the future? Otherwise they would have to swap the SuperDishes to Dish1000.

Oops, it wasn't the DP 34 it was the 721...replacement now in-transit.

That's better!

The channels are not at their old locations anymore from what I've seen in the network table, with one exception:

Mobile-Pensacola AL-FL, 7356, 105 -> 110, 622 -> 2342, WEIQ, PBS

That channel is still on 105, it was supposed to move to 110. All the other channels from that group moved. Did they forget about it?

Was it working fine before checking the signal levels? At least you got a replacement really quick!

 

[ERSanders]

Hokie, it was working just fine for several years. It just picked that time, coincidentally, to crap out. One tuner is still OK, so I won't suffer too much

I just can't get over the great $1.99/mo. replacement...so fast!

 

[ralfyguy]

I wish they had a bird like this on 129, or put ALL the HD channels on 110
