This was brought up in the tech chat and the answer was that there is no way to force it to one or the other.

Actually on the Tech chat they said that they didn't really know (I think they were also confused as to why someone would have this setup), but they didn't think that it could be done. They made some comment about the software knowing what bird you should be looking at and looking there first (ie if your locals are on 129 it would look there first for the national hd too). At least that is what I got from the rambling.
Well I finished my testing and of coarse I didn't get it to pull off 61.5 but something else strange happened but I'm not going to complain. The only obvious explanation might be that the fired up the thrusters on 129 last night and repositioned it because after making my changes, I have signals on 129 I never had before. my average signal on 129 use to be from the low 60's to a maximum of around 72 across the board. Now, after moving my ports around starting with port 1 to 61.5, 110, 119 and lastly 129. I get the following signals on 129
Transponder ----- Signal - HD Channel
1 - 78
2 - 68
3 - 0 which is strange since Gallery, Rush and Film Fest are there

I will admit that I need to fine tune 61.5 as I was in a big hurry when I installed it last week taking me an entire five minutes after the pole was in. I will wait a week or so and check my signals again and set my ports back to their original positions and compare again but until then, still pulling 129, if I only knew how long HD locals were going to stay on Conus, I would disconnect 129 and move to New York.
Edit: I forgot to mention that these signals were taken with very heavy clouds and it's about to storm.

CONFUSED? Is that what the C stands for in CSR?
- Denver SD on 110
- Denver HD on 129
- Complete KVP on 61.5 or 118.7
- Pentagon on 61.5
- Partial KVP on 121
So I would need:
- 119/110/129/61.5
- 119/110/118.7/129 without Pentagon
I bet that isn't in their script.
I'm really waiting for the SuperDish Repoint Kit. Then I may drop 61.5 and the Pentagon Channel, or keep it and go with a 5 bird system.
In fact, they better hurry with the DPP64! I might want to add some Japanese and Chinese Programming.

Update from my earlier post:
When typing my post I was using my 211 for all my information which continues to pull everything from 129 however when I went downstairs and did a check switch on the 622 since I hadn't done that after changing everything. I was surprised to see everything pulling from 61.5 so I did another check switch and again pulled everything from 61.5. I heard from someone earlier that this happened to them and then a couple of days later reverted back again. I will continue to test. in the meantime, if anyone else would like to try the same thing I did. I would like to hear your results.
Port 1 61.5
Port 2 110
Port 3 119
Port 4 129
