Future of International Channels on 61.5

[hvarma2008]

All,
I remember this being discussed sometime back. I am currently subscribed to the the South Asian Mega Pack and I get these channels from 61.5. I understand these will be removed soon and the channels will only be on 118.7. Does anyone know the time frame? I am assuming DISH will contact me before I actually lose these channels.

I don't know of a time frame, but if they are moving to 118.7, you will be contacted for a free upgrade. I know a lot of the channels they were migrating from 61.5 to 118.7 ended up staing on 61.5. So all the upgrades we did for international migrations were basically a waste of time, materials and money!
