Possible new E* customer

[jpeckinp]

I have been a D* customer for the last 6 years, but with the new HD content coming out this fall I am in trouble. My current location will not allow me to get the 99 sat and unfortunately that is one of the new sats with all the goodies.

I have been reading up on the Superdishes with E* but with all the different models I am confused.

Here is what I need to know.

I live in Chicago and want the full package All HD and HD locals along with AEP.
What dish do I need?

Also what are E* plans for more HD content in the future? Is there any new sats that will be farther east than 101? I see that all the HD content on 61.5 is duplicated on 129 but when I look on the E* site they don't even list a sat at 129 and what part of the US it covers.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
Also thanks to BFG for the info thread at the top of the forum it was very helpful.

Well you will not need a Superdish. What you will need is a Dish1000. That gets 110, 119, 129. Chicago locals are on the 110 Sat. HD as you know is on 129 and 61.5....If you have a 129 LOS(Line of Sight) problem then you can try 61.5.

You absolutly need 129 since Chicago HD Locals are on 129

When your ready to get signed up, contact Dishstore for the best deal...

Yes you can get a better deal from Claude at Dish Store than anyone else. Check his deal at the GOLD SPONSOR SHOWCASE under the title "FREE VIP 622 FOR NEW CUSTOMERS PLUS OVER 300 IN SAVINGS"

I went through Claude when I signed up 3 months ago and it went flawlessly. I highly recommend Claude!

The only sats I will have a problem with is anything below 101. I have clear view to the west and live on the 12th floor of an apartment building and the over hang above my balcony is keeping from getting anything lower than 101.

I have one other option I am going to look at. AT&T has been doing a lot of work in my neighborhood the last few months and the rumor has it that it might be for U-verse, and if that is the case it would be smarter for me to go that way and save money on the monthly bills.

Thanks for the info guys I will keep you in mind Claude if the time comes.

I went to the DishStore site to order and the order page is down. Is this just a one time thing?
