As announced last month they are adding Dealer Information to the SySinfo screen on new accounts, this way if you press sysinfo you can get the number for your retailer who installed your system.

I heard from a Dish tech person that CBS-HD would be moving off of 61.5 but they didn't have a date.
Can someone confirm if it is staying or going? I am planning on having a second dish put up this weekend just for that one channel.
It is very misleading to quote that all HD is moving off of the wings if CBS-HD will be staying.
