Tri Cities TN/VA HD locals on 61.5

They've already declared Tri Cities a western arc market.



That sucks. My LOS is perfect for the EA. The 129 bird is not an option because of trees

Yes that sucks. No gaps in the trees at all, huh? No way to get around to a clearing. You can be up to 200 feet or so away from a receiver and still be okay.

Probably about the time all you guys move your dishes to grab 129, E* will add another satellite to the eastern arc and decide to light you up. They are planning to move E1 from 148 over there. I dont know what they are going to do with it for sure. E* is pretty screwed up. They're adding Florida local market HD to 129 without adding the HD RSNs. It doesn't make any sense at all.

I hope not. I just moved my 61.5 dish. Found a small clearing,mounted my pole and then peaked my dish. Not bad,but not as good as 61.5.
