I can confirm that in my market (Greensboro NC) that locals on 119 MPEG-2 were shut off today. I can also confirm that the one receiver I have replaced so far (with a VIP211) is now receiving the locals on 119 MPEG-4. I’m going to eventually finish replacing receivers then changing Dish to...

I’ll plan on making full eastern switch but maybe changing just a receiver for now will give me a little time vs having to do complete swap out by Wednesday. Thanks to all in the forum for the advise and professionalism - sometimes forums can be a sarcastic place.

Interesting. I‘m assuming once I switch receivers, I will still need Address current dish/LNB (super dish) Setup aimed at 119? (Will current lnb work?) Or either switch out to 1000.2 eastern arc or if needing to stay with 119 do 1000.2 western lnb setup?

I wholeheartedly agree.

That answers my question. Thank you

Right now they are on 119 and 61.5 but the SD locals on 119 right now are being shut down this Wednesday- not sure if they will continue with HD locals on 119 after that or not.

This is follow up from previous thread just a little off topic. Replacing super dish SD to 1000.2 eastern arch. Finding that new trajectory has large tree block. Should I consider a western arch set up? 27410 area code(Greensboro NC). Relocating dish is possible, just will be fairly involved...

Many thanks. Glad everyone has been so accommodating to all My questions.

great. Thanks for clearing that up

I’m using just 119 now with the old equipment. I assume I’m in Eastern Arch? If so odd I’m still able to use the old equipment if that conversion has already been completed. Trying to be sure I’m purchasing correct dish

I would assume I’m on Eastern Arc in North Carolina. A little confused that if I’m on Eastern arch and Mpeg4 conversion has already been done why equip has been working to date - or have they allowed older equipment to still function until now ? Basically I’m only using 119 at this time. Thanks...

I think I’m understanding that I’ll need a 1000.2 eastern arc, something like VIP612 and VIP222 or VIP222k if I don’t want to do hopper. does there need to be a multi dish switch like my ole superdish? Any special coax ? again thanks for replies and suggestions

Actually on the super dish right now I’m only using 119. Any idea where my locals will be located after the change ?

In Greensboro NC

Thanks for the advise. Can Current dish antenna and positioning be kept? Best regards

It appears to be Dish. Message comes up on TV screen occasionally. If I have to reconfigure system I’d rather do myself but Dish reps will not disclose what equip I need. Been customer with dish 22 years, doesn’t seem they really care if I just give up on Them. Thanks for the reply. I’m...

I know my equipment is old - but I own it and it’s good enough for tv that I watch On Dish. Dish network says I have to upgrade everything and not doing so will have me losing locals on Sept 21’st. I just found this out on Aug 31st. Current equip has a super dish with several receivers...

they are prob 7 years old - had prev used but went to superdish at my other home, and the 500 was just stored in garage until now

they are the legacy

Hello I have upgraded at a vacation home from a single dish and old receiver to a dish 500 with a 322 (still old equipment but 322 is a reman). Upon install I have signal strength in the 70's on both 110 and 119 using the point dish screen but had a few channels with no signal so I switched...
