They are on 61.5 according to thelist

According to a search they've been in HD since 4/2008. I see in your sig you are a new install. They should have installed a Dish 1000.4 (one with the side struts). If you don't have 61.5 in your point dish screen, you need to call the install company back out.

I'm not hooked up yet. Installers coming Saturday.

Ahh... yes, they are in HD in 61.5 and you should get a 1000.4 dish pointed at 61.5/72/77. You'll be on eastern arc. Everything is in MPEG4, even the SD channels.

SWEEEEEEEET!
