Eastern Arc Update

[W_Tracy_Parnell]

I am in Buffalo DMA. I upgraded my equipment to 211s but my dish is still on the western arc. Is the deadline to move to EA still the end of 2015? Also, I have the Smart Pack-will I get HD locals if they flip me over to EA? I haven't seen anything here on this issue lately.

Thanks

If HD locals move to EA, you would need your dish pointed at EA. So you would lose them. The deadlines for downed services across the country was only to come off of QPSK. Your area, however, may need to be arc swapped, which means you need a new dish/LNB.

Yes.
