any plans?? to move locals from 110 119

Anyone know if they will be moving some of the HD locals from 110 and 119 to 129 or other sats?

Specifically Portland Oregon-- it has a pretty wide DMA and spotbeam

Don't want to upgrade to HD equipment-- if they move locals around and require two dishes. I know we can change dish to 1000 and get 129-- but in the northwest understand that may not be the best reception without second dish.

Never understood why they couldn't have kept everything on one dish. Using 129 or 61 for foreign programming. Then used 118 to put all the HD channels and locals if they needed.

Portland's HD locals come off a spotbeam on 110. It's a pretty tightly focused beam for the Northwest. Doubtful they'd move them anywhere else.
