NHL CI Question With Regards To Orbital Location

[JayPSU]

Would it be possible to still see all of the NHL CI games with just the 61.5 dish?

Yup.

I'm only pointed at 129 and I see them.

Yup.

I'm only pointed at 129 and I see them.

The SD ones too?

 

[pdxsam]

yup

I wonder how they do that because according to the channel charts, the SD ones are only on the 110 and 119. So essentially, I could get away with seeing what I want from Dish (NHL Center Ice) and only have to use the 61.5? That would be great so I could just use the old dish location for the other sats for my Directv install.

they cross uplink the HD games to each satellite location.

The SD's are all off 110 or 119 conus beams so there's no issue there.

Are you sure you can actually tell that you get all the games? The ones from the other sat would not show in your EPG. I doubt you can get all the HD games from 61.5 or 129 individually and I am certain you have to have 110 and 119 to get the SD games.

Well gee... I suppose I'll need to compare tonight with someone who has 61.5 and see what's listed. I supposed I got them all since I get the east HD feeds from Florida and Tampa

only games broadcast in HD..Not all games are in HD..Check listings vs the games scheduled.
