Brazilian package will be off from 61.5 sat?

[RonaldoAntena]

I have Dish NetWork 1000.4 to get
my Brazilian Elite Package on 61.5 Sat
and some local channels!
My question is : I must have to upgrade
to dish 500 plus ?
When Brazilian channels wil be off
from 61.5 Satellite?
ThanKs!

Well if you are truly at where your location says (Salt Lake City) you wouldnt have a EA 1000.4 dish. If you were truly in SLC all they would do is switch it to a Dish 1000+ which sees 110, 118, 119, 129

But you will need a D500+. The older style had 2 outputs on the 118/119 LNB. Hook the 118 output (1F) to the input on the EA 1000.4 dish

Yes, the channels will be removed from the 61.5 satellite. This is supposed to happen within a few weeks. Currently, you can view the channels on 6831-6835.

Depending on where you live, you would either need a 500+ (1000+ if you have HD channels), or an eastern arc dish with a 118.7 wing dish. If you PM your phone number or account number, I can check for you, or set up an install to have a tech come out
