Bob, there were a few removed from 129 in the group.

I think your refering to 9102, 9284,9285 Yes those where pulled from 129 as well as 61.5. I didnt realize that they where mirrored to 129.. I was just checking the channel numbers and what moved to where. Not where they came from.

Also, any one have any idea why dish didnt put those markets on as "tenitavly schedualed"

Everything is tentative until it actually moves

The schedule as published is a plan, not an absolute as there will undoubtedly be issues that occur while attempting to move stations from old to new locations...

Best,

Okay, I checked my Mom and Dad's 625 receiver and they have Houston locals. I thought when they moved the Houston locals to the new Echostar 10 satellite they would get all of the locals that were split on the 148 /129 satellite. I did a switch check and they still only get the local channels that they got when the locals were on 119. They have a dish 500 so what is up ? Will they get all their locals on with the Echostar 10 sat or not? Didn't the Fcc say one dish for all sd locals?

Houston has not moved yet. They are still on 119 and 148.

ok I do NOT have houston moving to echo X .. what could be happening, (IT might be like this in other markets too... ) Your LIL could move to 119 as apart of the one dish solution. but if there being mirrored to 129 then dish is allready in compliance with one dish solution as you can pick them up with one dish. a dish 1000. The FCC's rueling did not say that they had to put all LIL at the same orbital slot.. it just said that it had to make all the lil avaible on one dish. It doesnt matter if that dish picks up 1 location or 15 locations (torri... dishes) as long as you have one dish your in compliance.


Just wait it out and see how things play out in the next two months

I thought I read that they had already moved Houston locals to the new echostar 10 sat. Okay I'll wait and see what happens.
