Detroit HD channels are very tight spot beam at 61.5° that doesn't reach Toronto. They are also temporarily at 118.75° which does reach Toronto, but requires a Dish 500Plus or 1000Plus.

Which Arab dealer in Detroit did you go through to set this up?
Hope its not the guy internal audit caught last week with 600 accounts setup with the same bill to address

The soptbeam on 61.5 that covers Detroit only goes as far as Cleveland. I found that out the hard way when I moved to Cleveland to try to get HD locals. The SD spotbeam 9 covers Rochester and Cleveland so I got my sd locals but not the HD locals.
Having a Dish 1000.2, I could simply run another dish into the input and be go to go?

No, its mine. I have a house in Detroit. (Novi , MI).
Yes, but it would need to be an 24" dish (maybe 30") and have an FSS circular polarized LNB.

How long have the Detroit HD locals been on 118.75? Why / when would they move them off 118.75?
ABC and CBS started at 118.75° on July 5, 2006. NBC started on July 17 the same year. The Fox followed later. At the time there was no room at 61.5. Eastern Arc wasn't even a plan yet. They will eventually leave 118.75° but I have no idea when.
If you are in Toronto, why don't you simply subscribe to Star Choice?
Detroit HD is part of their basic HD package CBS-NBC-FOX-ABC & National PBS.
