Help with getting the Pentagon Channel

[Honeybees]

Hello all,

I'm new here, but was hoping that maybe you could help me with this dilemma.

I have Dish Network but I'm not getting the Pentagon Channel; it's not there on the guide listing. I thought it was supposed to be there?
I read that it's on channel 9405, but for me, that channel is C-SPAN.
I remember I used to get Pentagon Channel, or maybe it was just a preview, but I read it's free of charge on Dish.

I don't know if this will help, but I'm attaching a photo of the point dish settings.

Pentagon Channel is on the 61.5 and 148 Satellite.

Pentagon Channel is on the 61.5 and 148 Satellite.

Thanks for replying.
So do I just change the numbers on that screen, or is there more to it?

You need a satellite dish aimed at either location. It should then show on your guide. From your question I would guess you don't have the needed dish.

At first I was going to joke and say that the Earth Channel might be as entertaining but after checking out the Pentagon Channel's website I can see where this channel could keep someone in the Armed Forces in touch with current military affairs.

I like the Pentagon Channel too. It is the reason I had to get a second dish in my area a couple of years ago when I joined up with Dish. Dish would not pay for the second dish. I think now if I had an Eastern Arc setup I could get by on one dish for everything.

Part of the reason I keep a dish pointed at 61.5.

I've been tempted to point a spare single-LNB dish I have at 148 for this, but I'm not sure exactly how to mix that in with my 1000.2 and if there are any other freebies on 148 worth getting

148 may be going away soon. Better to point to 61.5 for a couple more Public Interest channels.
