I assumed with the dropping of 129 Dish would go back to the Dish 500 with a new DPH or DPZ lnb. But I have yet to see one. When we tried to order them a few months back from Dish, they shipped us 500+s :rolleyes:. What is worse, they sent us 500+s w/o a 110 bracket, so they are really useless. The 500+ in general is useless since they will be dropping all international programming (aside from Spanish language) in a few months.

Anyway, anyone have a picture? I searched Google and this forum and didn't find any.

They will be dropping all international programming? You mean everything on 118 including The Jade Channel package?

Yes, I think in April of next year, all international programming will be only available via the internet.

Well that figures since I recently upgraded my setup to a SuperDish with 500+ LNB cluster and a DPH42. Oh well, best signal I've ever gotten on 119/110 so no big loss I guess. Is satellite 118 being retired?

The satellite at 118° is Anik F3. It belongs to Bell Canada and is entirely leased to Dish. The lease is probably running out and Dish has decided to continue their programming via internet going forward.

On my Satfinder Lite app, Anik F3 shows as sat 119. Is that incorrect?

Where did you actually learn about this? And when you say only available via the internet, you mean it will still be a channel on the Hopper 3 for example but only as a streaming channel? I guess there goes one of the benefits of having a DVR!

They should already be gone from satellite. This is on our internal dish pages:

  • REMINDER: International channels will be switching to streaming come October 17th and will no longer be selling to customers via satellite.

Interesting, I still have the Jade World International Chinese/Cantonese package on satellite and also on their streaming channels. Guess the days of watching after the schedule time via DVR recordings is no longer possible.
