With few exceptions locals have been in HD for years now. Without knowing what your locals market is and what arc you are using no way to answer your question. You could contact a DIRT member here or give us some info.
His location says Troutville Va, I would guess that is Roanoke locals which are in HD off 129

Yep. So as best I can tell there may be a reason you have the Satellites you have, and why you don't have your locals in HD. Your set up is historically done because someone can not get the 129 satellite. Your locals in HD are only on the 129 satellite as it looks like Roanoke is your Market, but you may not be able to get it because trees or something is in the way. 129 can be the hardest satellite to get. If you can get 129 you need to have them change your DISH to get 110/119/129. If you can't get 129 you may need to stay as you are with no locals in HD.
Could it have been an issue with obstructions blocking the sat like tree or houses? As why I can't get 129
Yes could be the reason. Unfortunately. If it makes you feel any better the set up you have is the "correct" one in your situation, it gets you your locals in SD and all the other available channels for whatever package you have. It also is not impossible that Roanoke HD will move to 61.5 at some point.
Thanks for the replies. I was hoping that something could have changed by now but I'm used to the locals in sd. Still mad about the hopper 3 though.
Yes that's why it's the correct set up and as I posted typical when you can't get 129.
