MANY HD CHANNELS GONE ON 72 WEST?

[richandgood]

TNT, Bravo, all ESPNs, TBS, BBC, AMC, HISTORY, and many other HD channels all gone from 72 west. Where do I find them on HD again? I only have 72 and 77. I get them on SD which is horrible. Need to get them on HD. Any advise?

Thanks,

You should have 61.5 and 72. 77 is of limited use to most. You're going to need to call Dish. Or are you "way" south?

 

[bantonb]

I have the same problem and I am way south.

All those channels were moved to 61.5. It looks like they're making room on 72 for something, maybe some 4K.

 

[Joe891]

Looking at the uplink report it was alot of hd channels that were moved to 61.5 they'd have to be making room for something like 4k with all the space they free'd up

There must be an echo in here.

I'm happy they moved them too because 61.5 seems to hang on longer during a heavy storm here than the 72

Except wasn't the space already free on 61.5? So why not just add whatever they were making room for at 61.5, instead of juggling around existing channels to make room at 72.7?

I learned a long time ago that in cases like this it's usually a waste of time trying to figure out why the engineers at DISH do what they do because in the long run they always have a reason.

 

[navychop]

Might have something to do with transponder configuration and available power.

You're right, they did move a bunch of the sd only channels to 72 from 61 but it's probably for no reason

You're right, they did move a bunch of the sd only channels to 72 from 61 but it's probably for no reason

In that case, I recall someone with a ViP222 posting that he started having problems with those channels on his receiver after they moved to 72. So, that seems to be the reason for that move: to screw up the ViP222.

 

[Jim5506]

Hey, if they don't keep moving things around their jobs might be seen as unnecessary (break it/fix it - break it/fix it...).

And we would have less to post about or criticize..

 

[bantonb]

In Costa Rica, can you get 61.5 and 72 on the same dish?

 

[NYDutch]

Maybe Dish wants to cut down on the rental checks they send Telesat Canada for the NIMIQ 5 lease?
