Dish 61.5 ?

[DishDave]

If i decide to go back to Dish do i still need to keep my 61.5 Dish up. I live in the Tampa Fl area and my local WB used to be on that dish. What about HDs ?

Dave,

Dish has removed the Additional Locals that were once on 61.5 that are part of the local into local packages that were split up in many markets. Your Local channels are now all available from 110.

If you want HD service you will likely need the 61.5 Dish as alot of Florida is OUT of the Footprint for 129. If you can get 129 then you will NOT need the 61.5 for HD channels. Anybody inside of the 129 Footprint only needs a Single Dish for Core Channels, Locals, and HD channels (Dish 1000).
