Update!!!!

[FreddyvsJasonvsAsh]

I was just talking with Matt Kliewer at the exective office and was told that all the new channels would be only on 129 at first (unless things change) and so that a dish 1000 would be needed

 

[Weezknight]

Well that's not good news for those who can't get the 129. I'm one of those people, but wasn't feeling compelled to upgrade anytime soon anyway.

This whole thing just keeps getting better and better

"E" has crossed so many "ouch" lines in the last 3 weeks, "D" must be reveling in it all.

So what are they going to do about the number 1 DMA in the country?

 

[Sean Mota]

More crap on top of the fallen crap on the floor.

 

[lakebum431]

What a pain, so now I'm going to have to get a D1000 even though I already have a dish at 61.5.

 

[Sean Mota]

I just thought about it for a minute and it does not make sense that they will not make it available at 61.5. Is it still there? where are the uplink guys?

 

[RandallA]

This has to be some kind of mistake or the executive doesn't know what he's talking about. Some areas are not covered by 129, they must have 61.5 for those areas.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Don't get upset yet. I don't believe this is true at all.

I have a call in on this and will report back what I hear.

Maybe, but I remember when they first made VOOM available and everyone assumed that they would mirror at 148 for the West coast, it didn't happen.

[FreddyvsJasonvsAsh]

well Matt works very closely with the CEO he is the go to guy about all recievers. The big guys on this site should know how he is because like I said he knows who Scott G is..

NightRyder

Yep I remember that and am wondering myself...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Update this is NOT TRUE at all.

The HD Channels on 129 will be mirrored on 61.5.

I got this directly from Matt. Glad we could put this one to bed quickly.

 

[BFG]

How'd I miss killing this? I could've answered this easily with a resounding false!

The channels have been on both sats and dish has a nifty pdf saying which markets are excluded from 129
