I've got dual Dish 500 antennas on 61.5 and 110/119. Is there a list of channels that I'm currently missing by not switching to EA?

TIA

I thought there have been 3 announcements 9 channels, 7 channels and 8 channels something like that. But make I am just wrong. Anyway here is the list.....

Thanks, but I"m getting most of those channels already (off 61.5?) - I think what I'm looking to know is which stations are ONLY on 72.5 and not on 61.5.

Subtract the ones that you are getting from the above list and the ones left are what you are missing. You do know which ones you do get, don't you?

I know a few people have been asking for a current list of new HD channels on 72.7 so I did some research on the net and here are all the channels. There have been 3 announcements so far this year. One for 9 channels, 8 channels and 5 channels.

So here is the modified list showing the channels added this year to 72.7:

Tru-TV
Fox Soccer Channel HD
Showtime West HD
Sportsman Channel HD
Hallmark HD
E! HD
BBC America HD
Indieplex HD
Retroplex HD
Headline News HD
G4 HD
Style HD
Nat Geo Wild HD
History International HD
ShortsHD
Turner Classic Movies HD
DIY HD
Investigation Discovery HD
Epix 1 HD
Epix 2 HD
Telefutura HD
Univision HD
 
According to traing e got in our shop this week, Dish is moving ALL core HD from 61.5 to 72.7 in the very near future. They are really pushing to get everyone onto Eastern Arc that should be on Eastern Arc.
 
Thanks 6B for the good info and thanks Jim - a CSR just told me the same. I bit the bullet, signed up for Service Plan for now and getting EA installed Sat.
 
Isn't DISH launching a replacement conus beam satellite in July for 61.5 anyway? What difference will it make to move the national hd then? Unless they are making room on 61.5 for internationals to eliminate the cumbersome dish 500 plus side sat install for those eastern arc subs who want internationals as well as their locals .
