I just spoke to a CSR (and I have to do that, since I'm an ATT customer, so I can't use the Web) about switching from my current AT200 + HD Ultimate package to an AT250 + HD Essentials, and I was told I needed an "antenna upgrade", and asked to sign a 24 month contract. I was surprised, but she couldn't tell me what specifically required a wing dish for 61.5. Was she correct?
I currently have a 1000.2, and get my locals OTA. I live in Austin, TX, and I know that the Austin HD locals require the 61.5 wing dish, but I didn't ask for those. I told the CSR that I'm fine using my OTA antenna (I live all of 4 miles line-of-sight from the tower farm on Mt. Barker). What channels in this package requires a 61.5 wing dish? The reason I ask is that I don't have good line of sight to 61.5--my dish mounts are on the west side of my house, and a) my roof blocks the view of 61.5, and b) I'm not interested in signing any 2 year contract.
To make matters worse, I'm really interested in only 2 channels in the AT250 package: ESPNU and Versus. They're on 119 and 110, respectively. Am I just out of luck--must I have the 61.5 wing dish?
