I don't like the Dish worded this statement "19 small to mid-size cities". Like that's okay since they don't matter that much anyway.

I don't like the Dish worded this statement "19 small to mid-size cities". Like that's okay since they don't matter that much anyway.
Are the moved locals going to stay on 72.7 and 61.5 or do you think they will move them back to 77 once they get this issue fixed? Reason for asking is I am on WA with a wing to 77 for our HD locals. I hate to do a repoint to 72 and then have to repoint it back to 77.
We wont know until they figure out what went wrong with 77 and if they can get it back into the box again to restore signals to it.
Does Dish control the Birds or does some other place control all the birds in space? How old is the 77 bird?
So from what I'm reading here, the locals have been moved to other birds, and if you want to go repoint your dish, you can get them. But most likely, in a few days, they will be back on 77. Is this correct?
flyover country.....Jk..
Dude,relax ....It's an accurate description of the size of the cities involved.....I cannot believe the lengths people will go to be offended.
You should not have to repoint your dishes. An eastern arc dish has 61.5/72.7/77 all on one dish. This is actually why Dish wants people to have either eastern arc or western arc dishes. They can move stuff between the satellites for what ever reason they might have and people should not notice.
Ahh, I've got a wing dish with one LNB tied into my dish 1000 (pointed at 110,119,127). Guess when I added HD locals, the wing dish is what dish decided I needed.
Well, I have a dish 1000 pointed at 119,110, and 129. My wing dish is pointed at 77. Therefore, HD locals come from 77 only. What now?
I'm not going to repoint, with the snow coming it would be worthless, and I've got rabbit ears that work great. I guess I was really just curious. Thanks for all the replies.

Still without any of the latino channels! I guess those of us with the Dish Latino packages are SOL?
Actually, I agree with that. It does seem they purposely mentioned "small to midsize". Now, maybe it's more of an attempt to minimize the hit they may take on their stock on Monday.
I must say thou that as a subscriber in one of those "small to midsize cities" (Macon, Ga) that lost their locals (or what's left of them) yesterday for a time, I also feel that Dish doesn't give much thought to this area. It'll be a month tomorrow that we lost both our Fox and ABC and it just seems to me and other Dish subscribers that I know that Dish doesn't really care that much about Macon due to its size. That if this was Atlanta, Dish would have had this issue resolved within days if not hours.
This type of issue is of no concern to the stock market folks. Their share price will be unaffected by this, irregardless of how they worded a statement about the failure.
I know there were some more fixes today according to the uplink reports that came out.
O boy, you could have missed it but the homepage shows whats going on

Forgot to say, welcome to SatelliteGuys , FYI if you go back to "Home" by clicking it in the top left of the page it will take you back to the homepage which usually shows alerts like this
I assume you either lost the Springfield,MO or Little Rock,AR locals which are both from 77(which failed for a time)
