Las Vegas HD Locals - 1024 QAM?

[civicbeater]

I'm contemplating if I need to replace some current QAM equipment to retrieve HD locals at my hotel in Vegas.

Can someone confirm if the Dish Net. Locals have been switched to broadcasting in 1024 QAM or not?

If so, do you have a nationwide list of some sort showing this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You mean MDU head end ?

I know Q-BOX should support 1024QAM.

Yes, I have an MDU head end with a QAM system. I need to know whether or not the dish network transmodulator for Las Vegas HD locals is outputting in 1024QAM or not. If it is, I would need to install a different type of transcoder in my rack as the current one doesn't support 1024. Dish Network is of course rediculously slow in replying giving me any feedback. I'm 48 hours still with out an answer with one of Dish Networks chief engineers.

I know the locals are off 129LH tp 14

I believe it is a 21500 8PSK transponder just like the other national HDs on 129...no idea about the transcoder stuff. Check TheList link in my signature.
