JohnH has reported that:

9870 (PMP41)
9871 (PMP42)
9872 (PMP43)
9873 (PMP44)

On 129 are showing

9870 KABC-DT
9871 KCBS-DT
9872 KNBC-DT
9873 KTTV-DT

Which are the west coast local HD feeds out of LA.

I wonder how he got that? maybe there's program guide?

in other news Soapnet is now in at120

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

From what I understand Soapnet is in free preview.

Good find by JohnH

nope, he said it's not a free preview anymore but in the at120 subscription. go on the dish site and look at the charts, they reflect this change

 

[roachxp]

Can't wait for thoese West HD feeds, after hearing the first rumor a few weeks ago I requested wavier for ABC, and NBC. I already had the CBS and FOX.

 

[SimpleSimon]

Me neither - just dying for those other HD nets.

Once they're there though, I won't have any more excuse to keep both 61.5 and 148 - I'll just have to swing a Dish300 over to 129.

[goaliebob99]
