"Moving" question from a newbie

[Laddyboy]

do you know if the Richmond VA. or the Charlotte NC or Charleston WV hd spots are active yet on 129?

No but you can keep track by viewing either The List (see the tab at the top of this page) or the Uplink Reports.

The Dish Network Uplink Center - SatelliteGuys.US

Either a Dish 1000.4 for receiving 61.5, 72.7 and 77 or a Dish 500 or Dish 300 with Dual LNB for pointing only at 77W. Note that for a 1000.4 antenna you must have all mpeg4 capable receivers as all the SD on the Eastern Arc is mpeg4-encoded.

Charlotte, Pittsburgh, St Louis, and Raliegh HD are all currently at 118.7 all conus for now. You will need a dish 1000 plus in order to recieve these channels. Thats the one that sees 110, 118.7, 119, and 129.

Is Detroit on 118.7 CONUS as well?

Louisville, KY

With a 1000+ dish, anyone in the con US should be able to get Louisville, KY local HD's, correct? (77W TP24 ConUS beam)

No. No plus dish receives 77W. You have to have either a Dish 1000.4 or a wing dish with your current setup to receive 77W. The 1000+ only receives 110, 118.7, 119, and 129.

No. You need a 1000.4 or and individual dish aimed at 77. The plus dishes 1000+ and 500+ are for looking 118.7

Yes.

How about Denver? I heard their locals (both HD and SD) are CONUS.

No, HD locals are spotbeamed. You can determine what is on what satellite and on what beam by referring to The List. See "The List" tab at the top of this page.

live chat

Sweet. I was wondering about doing it online. Forgot about live chat mode!

I did the live chat yesterday. It really beat doing in over the phone, with poor connections, and my poor abilities to understand accented English. (too much rock and roll induced hearing loss).

Everything is in writting and there is multiple guestion concerning the old address, the new address and where you want the bill sent to. All in all the best way to move.:up
