Why not? Regular HD channels are simulcast to the 61.5, but chances are since he is in EA market his HD locals may not be available on 129. I have done plenty of 61.5 add-ons just for the HD locals
DISH has moved a lot of HD channels from 61.5 to 72.7 and almost all of the new HD channels are on 72.7. 61.5/110/119 is no longer an acceptable setup. If OP needs 61.5 or even 77 for HD locals then he needs a 61.5/72.7/77 dish aka 1000.4 or a 1000.2 WA setup with a 61.5 or 77 wing dish. Depends on what OP wants, and whether or not he has any non-ViP receivers.
