yes.
on 61.5 there is the following
-Dish 101 (a mirror of it)....this is the "welcome" channel to Dish (if you havent seen it)
-a video on how to swap smart cards
-pirate TV
-a screen that says "you are aimed at 61.5"

129 has a screen that says "you are aimed at 129" and pirate TV

148 has the "you're aimed at 148", pirate TV, the smart card swap channel and a bunch of mirrors of Dish 101

There are more Dish FTA channels - with uplink transponder's spectrums, IT monitors - Big Sister, security cameras and main control room sometimes.

And interesting fact - those channels are NOT available to sub/desub receivers, but to FTA boxes.

I think after May 27th you would need an ex-sub with purple/G3 card.

CCTVE (884), for example, was supposed to get switched on the 15th, so should be gone for yellow card ex-subs.
