Hi, Dish Network called us last week saying something like they need to setup a date to come change out Dish out with a new one? Something about moving channels. We has Wausau, WI locals and a SuperDish. Anyone know anything about locals changing to new satellite where the SuperDish won't work? I don't think I need one because locals are on 121 and 110/119, just that on a Dish 500 they would be not remapped in the 7200 range. Anyone know of something going on with this?
New Dish coming out??

DISH is moving/consolidating their local channels and 121 is a leased satellite so they need to replace your superdish with a new dish that will allow you to still receive the channels you are subscribing to when they stop broadcasting on the satellite you are currently getting the channels from.
I got the call last night as my locals are on 129 and 121. I told the nice lady that I already have a 1000 and don't need the upgrade. Took me forever to talk her into not doing it. I had to go to channel 9901 to prove it.
I think they don't remove and replace you Dish they just swap out the 121 LNB and add the one for 118.7 right?
I like having the bigger superdish less rain fade for me

Yes, I hear they do that in most secure, undisclosed locations..
Indeed. We need all the signal we can get.
Set up my appointment.....
Also received a letter stating Dish would give 6 months of free HD to anyone who makes the switch.....
1st available install up in Northern Wi is Dec 3rd
Must be a bunch of people switching up here for the Big Ten Network?

They are already on 129. It's the same on both birds, no difference. If someone switched you over when you were gone you wouldn't know it.
You will be getting a 121 Superdish repoint kit. It will repoint your Superdish to receive 110, 119, and 129. The system will tie right back into the same switch you have now, either a DP-34 or DPP-44.
From info I have heard there is something like 2000 of these dishes that need to be repointed in your area. You will not be missing anything, so there sould be no rush to switch over. A nice bonus is if you decide to upgrade to HD in the future, you will already have the proper dish.
