Standard definition removed from Western arc satellite?

[goofy_american]

Hello,
I'm using an old 722 receiver on the western arc satellites.
Located in the Minneapolis, MN area.
It seems that a large number of standard definition channels have disappeared from my guide. The channels are now only HD.

Anyone know if Dish removed removed SD programming from the western arc?
Concerned as the HD programming fills the DVR so much faster than SD .

Thanks

I still see SD channels on the Hopper my friend has on Western arc. I went through the locks parental screen and I can see all of them. The ones that come on if you lose your hd signal in rain or snow are all still there.

I am on the Eastern Arc in Illinois and my 722K still has my SD Channels.

This is true. Dish is moving a lot of things around. Here we lost SD Locals, which were on on 110 and HD locals moved to 119 from 129

Dish is removing redundancy on their satellites.

No more channel SD duplications, if there is an HD channel there will be no SD channel to make room on aging sats.

I guess that means there will no longer be fallback to SD if the HD channel is suffering from rain fade.

I sure hope that’s true because the fall back to SD sucks and I wish it was gone forever.

I am on Western Arc in the Columbus Ohio market and I still see all of the SD duplicate channels when I turn off “Hide Duplicate SD Channels” in the Guide settings. Dish is probably removing the SD local duplicates in selected markets.
I also see all the SD duplicates of the non-local channels such as USA, Comedy, Life, etc.

I normally never see the SD duplicates since I have them hidden in the Guide settings.

Have you lost JUST the SD Locals? Or non OTA SD channels as well?

I'm on the western arc and I see quite a few SD channels all over the guide. The following channels in the 3xx channel range are a mix of HD/SD: SHO, TMC, ENC, STARZ. Actually this kind of surprised me when we first got this new Hopper/Joey system on Jan 4th. I was under the (mistaken?) impression that SD programming was going to be completely replaced by HD programming.

(I have SD duplicates hidden in the Guide settings.)
