EA dish would get your HD back and keep your locals. With a DPP44 switch, you would be able to keep your sd locals that may be on 110 or 119.
Mike1632,
I don't understand why or how the 129 satellite got into the conversation. If your locals in HD are on the 61.5 satellite, then you need the other satellites that go with that one, not 119 or 110, or 129. You need the 77 and 72 satellites. That's called the Eastern Arc. It is very likely Dish will change you for free. If you already get 61.5 chances are very high you will be able to get those other satellites also.

Like Tampa said it sounds like you need 77 and 72 added. If you want to PM me your account information I can take a look into this further and see what the best solution is for you.
He probably didn't know that there was even such a thing as Eastern Arc. Cut him a little slack; it's only his first post here.
CAN NOT SEE 71 OR 77 HAVING TO LOOK THROUGH TREES. TECH CAME OUT AND LOOKED. I KNOW THERE IS AN EA
If a tech determined that there was NLOS and he has to use a mixed arc install, there is a chance that some of the programing will be missing. The channels are on the higher channels just for a little time to prompt customers to call in for the migration if possible.
NOT MY TREES. SO DISH WILL PUT THE CHANNELS BACK TO LOWER NUMBER OR WILL THE CHANNELS MOVE TO NEW SATELLATE
please turn off the caps lock. Makes it look like you're yelling
Dish has migrated most of the national HD from 61.5 over to 72.7 and its mirrored on 129. They are getting folks off of "mixed arcs" (as you have) and either to Eastern Arc (61.5/72/77) or Western Arc (110/119/129)
If you had access to 72 or 129 you wouldnt be seeing those channels in the higher up numbers and the channels would show up in the "normal" slots that you know. But seeing 61.5 only those channels are in that higher number to inform you that they will leave soon unless you change your setup
