Locals in HD

[Mitch29532]

Today was the day that the tech from dish came out and installed my new dish for the local HD channels. He took down the 1000 dish that was pointed at 110, 119, and 129. He installed a new dish 500 that is now pointed at 110 and 119. He then put up another dish that is pointed at 61.5 for the locals. Now maybe everytime it get cloudy and rains I won't loose the signal like before. I now don't get any channels from 129. The charge was zero for this install. The PQ is much better now and the signals are much higher.

Glad I live in the east and I don't have to deal with the weak 129 satellite. I had second Dish 500 61.5 dish up for years when the extra locals were on that satellite even before we tried DirecTV for a year. When we resubscribed to Dish in 2005 they used the same Dish 500. All they had to do was change the LNB. When I upgrade to HD in July all they had to do was swap my receiver for a ViP612, cascade another DP34 Switch and run another line.
