Once the Eastern is launched 8-20. Customers will be able to get all HD on either 72.7 or 61.5. Right now customers are getting some of HD on 110 satellite(TNT, HD Net , ESPN, HBO, Showtime, USA Sci-fi. I got a dish set up at 61.5 only. I get 90% of HD, but I'm hoping to get all those other channels currently on 110, which I can't get because of LOS issues. After Aug20th will all HD be available on 61.5 or 61.5 + 72.7?
Will All DISH HD programming be available on 61.5 soon?

Negative the HD which is on 110 is going to be on 72.5 not 61.5 so it will require an Eastern Arc Dish and a new 3G Smartcard.
It won't 110 is for Western Arc.. and 110 is supposed to (or so I am hearing... aka a rumor) get a bunch of new HD in September. 
Everything is supposed to be on the new security by the end of the year. First cards are going out in the next week or so.
They've been built-in to new receivers for the past couple of months now, look for a circle with an A in it on the receiver.

So we in the West will get HD programming others wont have?? or do you mean HD Locals and nothing more on HD National??
Had My hopes up--gosh I thought we on the west cost was special
So if my current setup has a dish 500 (110,119) and also a another dish at 61.5, then I have no reason to ever change my current setup?? Is this correct??
I thought I read in the earnings transcript that the effect of the new cards would start to be seen at the end of the year but they may only have completed changeout of certain "market segments" by that time.

So, what about Puerto Rico? Is PR going to be Western Arc? Our spotbeam is in 110, right? I don't know if we get 129 down here, we need a 6' dish for 61.5 and I think not all transponders are visible.
I have 2 dishes (119/110) and a 722 and all I'm waiting is for some info about HD and PR to see what I'm going to do. I hope Dish does something *soon* (I hate that word).
Where is this circle with an A at. I got a new 211 to replace my 811 about two weeks ago and it has no circle A or a smartcard inserted in it.

That is what I have been wondering as well; any one know anything?

Assuming you are now or will be getting HD locals off 61.5, and trees or other obstacles never block 119/110, then you have only one reason to switch to the EA dish at this time: it's a single dish solution.
So since I live in Northern Kentucky will I have to get a new dish or re-point my dish to get HD programming now after 8/20 ? I have the Every thing pack with all HD programing. I am currently at 110 - 119 and 61.5. With 2 dishes and 2 Vip 622's? Is Dish goig to force every one to switch over and re-point the sat dish to new loactions? I guess it would be like direct Tv done to every one when they launched new HD and satellites. Every one had to switch to one of the 2 different types of dishes to get all the programming. the slimline and the other dish, can not remeber the type of dish.
Of course. Any way you can get the 3 satellites will work. All the receiver cares is that all 3 satellites are shown in the matrix.
