Man, this looks like a prelude to a "screw you" to 119/110/61.5 customers. New HD on 129/72.7, and lots of PBS HD coming, but only on 129 markets.

Guess us folks have to wait for E15, and I'm not even sure it is launching this year.

Scott, said in a post on another Thread, that Dish is doing so load testing on the 129 & 72.7 Satellites. Dish will move those TEMP HD channels back to 61.5 / 119 at launch time.

Why would they move chanenls BACK to 119? They'll stay on 129 and the 72 stuff will move to 61.5

I thought some of the new channels would be mirrored at 119/72 and others at 129/61.5...

Maybe so that folks in Alaska and Hawaii could get some of them?

I just checked 119 TP 10...it used to have encrypted video streams. But now it is completely void of any video streams. My guess is they had second thoughts about loading up E7 since they will need a temporary TP or 2 between 110/119 to shuffle some stuff on and off of spotbeams when E-14 is launched.

Hopefully E-14 makes it up okay. I think once it gets up we'll catchup to the lower 48 in HD.
