I have all the hd channels with just 61.5 110 and 119. But I should also mention that I am a very old client of Dishnetwork and have subscribed to their HD since it started. As a result....I guess I have been grandfathered into being able to get all the hd....most of it anyway....and I am happy with it. Even more I am happy that as of yesterday I was able to add ABC CBS NBC and FOX in high definition from Chicago and Los Angeles.
Previously someone mentioned that dish was not allowing the signal to be turned on because of complaints from previous bad installs with dishes 4 ft and under. This is true....100 per cent true. I have three six foot dishes and even I have some problems with signals during bad weather.
The story about the HD Spotbeams to Puerto Rico.....hope it happens.....would like to have some HD that will stay on during bad weather.
As to whether dish will turn on the other hd signal for you....at this point..with their plans to spotbeam a bunch of channels here............I seriously doubt they will turn it on for you.
