I just got a letter in the mail saying that my local channels are moving to a new satellite location and that I will require a new dish. I currently have a Superdish. Anyone know what satellite the new Locals will be on? What model is this new Dish? It says its a free installation but has that "*" Restrictions may apply - ask for details? What are the details?

Scott, most likely they have a 105 SuperDish and they are taking almost everything from 105 to 129.
You will need a 1000.2 Dish.

My locals are on 105 hmm where exactly is the new satellite location compared to the others 110 and 119? I have trees around me.
129, 10 degrees west of 119.
What is your zipcode, that way we know the elevation of 129 for you.

25320 if its west of 119 i'm in trouble
I hope you mean East facing from behind the dish. Looks like I will be switching to cable.
Humm. I barely get 105 now because of trees...I'm doomed... lol what is the degrees on a compass of the satellite?
I think 129 should be 240.2 @ 24 elev from 25320. I think it'd be like +7 or 8 because of magnetic dev if you're using a compass.
I used Satellite Look Angles Satellite Heading Calculator Azimuth Elevation Skew Tilt LNBF Latitude and Longitude values and I used IA7 for the sat since it's at 129 and they didn't have Echo5 on the list.

Here in NW PA our locals were on 121(we had alot of LOS problems to begin with, then They moved our locals to 129......now the people that were just barely getting the 121 sat are SOL.
I just got my hands on a RE-POINT kit today, instead of installing a whole new dish, the just replace the arm of the superdish, add a new "W" bracket, and add 2 new DP duals, and re0use the DP dual that was on the superdish.

Let us know how that 129 works out for you! Good luck ! I'd be mad! I'd demand for the 61.5 I wonder if that would be an option for you. Or maybe the locals in your area are only on the 129. That would suck!
Messing with the Locals is not cool Charlie! Time for a discount. If he told me my locals were going on the 129,those would be fighting words
I'm not even gonna bother. I finally got out of my contract. I'm not signing up to 18 months for a new dish. I guess I can just buy it off one of these companies above my post. Sadoun is where I bought my digital signal finder.
The satellite migrations do not put you in a new contract its free because dish is causing the move
