Help With " Moving"

[ghostyroastytoasty]

So it is possible they are readying some spotbeams for NYC?

SD locaLA

I'm thinking of "moving" to Kansas City, MO.
Looks like the locals there are on a ConUS beam on the 129 so shouldn't be a problem there.

Will I lose my current Dish locals (non-HD) if I move, or will the KC locals just be added to the guide?

I guess Dish doesn't check the address to see where its at if a movie theater address will work? My 722 calling dish from its original billing address also is not a problem?

I understand I'd have to change the address again before a service call.

Thanks.

The SD locals for KC are spotbeamed. So you will not get those. You will get your guide info for your OTA's if dish carries them via sat. Sign up for paperless billing then it makes no difference where the bill would go since you will be doing it all on line. When they ask about needing Dish mover just tell them it is already taken care of.

You'll have to adjust everything in your head by an hour.

I have a 722. If I move to Atlanta, what will my TV2 see? Will it see the Atlanta locals in SD? If not I can split my OTA antenna and run a line to TV2 and then just switch inputs. Just curious.

How long does it take after talking to CS to get the changes done? I talked to CS about 30 minutes ago, and now my old locals are missing from the map down (ie ABC is no longer 6, etc), but they are still up in the 8500 area. I dont have to new locals, and my OTA HD channels are showing "Digital Service" as the description.

Is this normal? Did I mess something up royally?

Do a check switch

And where did you move to?

 

[johnpas73]

Ran a check switch. Moved to somewhere in Columbus so I can get Sport Time Ohio for Cavs games. Their locals are carried on 129* T 32 and 21. I get signal on both of these transponders.

 

[johnpas73]

And, I see the RSNs in their location on the EPG, but not the locals

 

[johnpas73]

Got it figured out, the CSR i spoke with did not switch my locals, and they just got lost.

Its fixed. Thanks digiblur for trying to help!

Well I "moved" to Jersey City, and now I cannot watch my Penguins Vs. Rangers game on Center Ice or Hdnet... :-(

 

[ghostyroastytoasty]

Nevermind, I didn't see it on MSG. not in HD though :-( oh well, at least I got it!

We currently have dish bundled with our AT&T bill. If we "move", will this screw up our bundled package?

I'm in Southwestern VA near Roanoke and want to "move" to either NOVA or Charlotte but I'm not sure how to read if I'm capable of "moving" to these areas

Any help would be appreciated

Are you doing this to get HD locals?

If so, you would n eed to have your dish pointed at the 118* satellite, which I dont know if you already do or not. Your other option is to move to Atlanta GA or Nashville TN since they oth have HD locals on CONUS 129* satellite.

Thanks

Thanks,

I'm pointing at 110, 119, and 129.

So Nashville and Atlanta are my best bets?

^ yes. atlanta and nashville are the closest cities to you that have hd locals available at 129 degrees. you can see the whole list here:

EKB: Dish HD Locals

washington dc is on 61.5 but you don't have that dish.
