They are shutting down earlier versions of the yellow smart card which were shipped with the 301, this will happen March 16th.
Customers with that card have already been swapped.

Those getting Atlanta as a distant network will be getting New York instead.
Scott Greczkowski said:Leslie harper comes in and tells us how to make the tv1 remote into a UHF controlable remote. The secret is in the key.
This is something they should (but probably wont) show on Mondays Charlie Chat.

Scott, does that mean Atlanta HD Locals will remain on sat. 129?Scott Greczkowski said:Altanta will no longer be available as a distant network as it will be moving to the 110 slot on a spotbeam.

Thanks for the response. This is really disappointing news. I had hoped that they would switch the Atlanta HD locals to the 61.5 satellite. I would love to hear the rational from someone at Dish Network as to why Washington DC gets their HD locals on 61.5, but not Atlanta. If the goal was to have a one-dish setup, then doesn't that apply to Washington DC? I would much rather have a two-dish setup with strong signals on all satellites.Scott Greczkowski said:Yes Atlanta locals in HD will be on 129.
Is it that simple? Flip the #1 key to make it UHF? I never understood why they made it IR only anyway!BobMurdoch said:Hmm. My father gave me the spare keys that came with his remote replacement. I just looked in the box and the green "1" key has just the number 1 on one side and a number 1 with a UHF logo on the other. Take off your battery compartments covers tonight and pull the key, flip it, and reinsert it. Is this all we need to do?

Hmm! If HD doesn't require a one-dish setup under the law, then there's no reason that Atlanta HD locals shouldn't be on 61.5. Especially, since many current Atlanta customers already have two dishes for 110/119 and 61.5.Iceberg said:couple reasons
-Washington DC cant see 129 due to footprint. It cuts off in PA.
-HD DOES NOT qualify for one dish...just the SD channels.
