All the standard channels are on 51.5/72. 77 has foreign channels. If you go to "The List" at the top of this page, you can see what is on each sat.
Ok, cool. I thought it might be something like that. That's a bit confusing. Everything online talks about 61.5, 72.7 and 77, but looking on my receiver I only see 2 SATs. Of course, I was getting all my channels so I figured SOMETHING was up. Thanks for the info.You da man.
there used to be a "test" discovery HD channel on the west that never made it to the east (channel was labeled test)There are no channels on the WA in HD that are not on the EA, locals and Internationals excluded. Timers won't be affected. Sometimes I get USA on the WA, sometimes on the EA (Same for HBO and a couple of others) so I know for sure there is no effect on timers.
The 1000.2 EA twin is just 61.5 & 72.7.
