Pretty much for Eastern Arc, it's all national SD and HD locals on 61.5 and all national HD on 72.7.

61.5, at one point was an add on to 119 and 110. Then was for most of the HD that came out before 129 was added. With HD moved to 72, 61.5 is now where most of the non-HD programing has been placed (although sd, it is mpeg4 taking less bandwidth than normal sd) and together with 72 to have all sd and HD available on one dish and makes it unnecessary to have 110 and 119. I still find it surprising how many people are still using two dishes and can't get all the channels they are paying for.

I remember when i first upgraded to hd i had 110/119 then they added a 61.5 wing. Then i had to get 72.7 when fsc and bbc america went hd since i couldnt get 129 due to trees across the street in the park. Right now i have 110/119/61.5/72.7 i also noticed some showtime hd is comming off if 110

If you have 72 and 61.5, you have no need for 110 and 119.

Not always the case, as mentioned locals may only be there, or you want the SD version, or, AAD.........

On WA I see most (if not all) music stations coming from 119. On EA it's 72.7 for Muzak (CD) and Sirius, and 61.5 for AUD.
