Do I need two dishes?Velocity 04-26-2009, 11:43 AM When I added HD service to my DISH subscription the tech put up a new dish of course, but kept the old SD Dish too. Do I need two dishes - one for HD and one for standard? I always assumed the new dish would work for both. Thanks TDK1044 04-26-2009, 12:22 PM In my case, I don't have line of site to 129, so I need a second Dish in order to point at 61.5. You can't have one Dish that can point at 110, 119 and 61.5 because of where the birds are in the sky. :) garys 04-26-2009, 12:50 PM Need to know where you are and if you want your locals in HD? If so, what dma? Velocity 04-26-2009, 01:59 PM I'm in Northern VA. and I do have local HD stations garys 04-26-2009, 04:29 PM What dma? Velocity 04-27-2009, 06:25 PM Sorry Gary, what is a dma? garys 04-27-2009, 08:33 PM What local market are you looking for? DMA = Designated Market Area. Velocity 04-28-2009, 06:38 PM Washington DC is my local market garys 04-28-2009, 07:42 PM The DC sd locals are on both 119 and 61.5. The HD locals are only on 61.5. Two dish solution would be for 119 & 110 on one dish with 61.5 on a second or the Dish 1000.4 which will give you 61.5 and 72 (you would also get 77, but there is nothing on that sat that you would get). |
