Free Antenna Upgrade Email

[311Man]

I received an email from E* that I will be required to get a (free) Antenna upgrade in order to continue to watch International programming. The only programming that I have is ala carte RAI (Italian). I believe the antenna is pointed to 61.5. Does anybody know what the reason for the antenna change would be since I only have the need for RAI?

Also the email at the beginning it says those channels will not be available after Nov 14th with my existing antenna. Later in the same email it says October 31st. (That would be short notice since its only a week away).

If anyone has any insight on this it would be appreciated.

I think all internationals are moving to 118.7.

yeah but rai comes off of the 119 dont it so if you have a d500 you should be fine shouldn't you???

I think all internationals are moving to 118.7.

What type of antenna would be required or is it more of a realignment issue?

b/c all i have is a d500 and i see rai in my program guide on ch 600 (but i don't subscribe to rai though)

It's also on TP 27 - channel 728 of 118.7 so I would guess channel 600 on 119 will go away.

I view it on channel 601.

601 is the one on 61.5. It's all over the place.
