Droping 129 sat for 61.5

[donnych]

Talk to Dish today about about adding another VIP622.
I asked them about HD locals at Greensboro, NC.
I have a 1000.1 dish pointing at 110 and 119 and a wing dish 500 pointing at 129 they installed to get better HD reception. Dish told me today that I could just repoint my wing to 61.5 and not lose any content and all locals would be put up there and all 129 content would be mirrored on 61.5
Does anyone here think that would work or should I demand a upgrade to Dish 1000.2 with the wing?
Could not get any word from him on when SOON is.
I call regular CS with no help since I got new VIP622 5 months ago but the ceo@ I found here done the trick with another VIP622 for $50 and free dish upgrade if I need it.

Greensboro is going to have LIL HD in this quarter. If the plans are as expected, you should be satisfied with a re-point to 61.5. But, plans my not be as expected. Wait till they are completed before you start the re-point.

Take a look at where your 129 dish is mounted and then look up your place on Satellite Dish Pointer / Alignment Calculator with Google Maps and make sure you have line of sight for 61.5 - if you do, it's a simple matter to swing the dish over and repoint it to 61.5.

The East Coast is going to be relying on 61.5 more and more in the future.
