channel lineup question

According to NYDutch, it's a no go on the dome dishes with the Hoppers. You'll need to use a 1000.2 with either WA (119,110, 129) or Eastern Arc (61.5, 72.7) LNBs (ideally - if you're in an RV you would have both).

Nat Geo is still on Dish.

 

I never heard Nat Geo was in a dispute, anyway...

The Hopper 3 requires either a hybrid lnb or a DPH-42 switch with the dish pro lnb, so it is not as simple as just plugging in the H3. The wally works with either the hybrid or the pro lnb, IIRC, since it at max only handles two sat tuners.

The H3 uses multi-band stacking to be able to potentially deliver 16 channels from 2 or 3 satellites to the receiver simultaneously.

 

While Disney & AT&T were in negotiations for Disney, ABC & ESPN channels and locals. Disney is also in negotiations with Dish for the former FX/Nat Geo networks they acquired from old Fox. The latest known updates with these discussions are:

• Dish and Disney extend talks over FX and Nat Geo to avoid a dispute, channels were originally scheduled to go dark on August 27th. No further updates are known as to the status but Dish doesn't list this as an active dispute on DishPromise.com right now.
• AT&T (DirecTV) and Disney have currently reached an "agreement in principle" to avoid a blackout however the deal is not 100% finalized. So far all that is known for DirecTV is ACC Network is available nationally in Choice and above (prior to the new agreement in principal it was treated as an RSN similar to Longhorn) and ESPN Classics will be dropped on 11/30/19.

So it looks like Disney is working with providers to avoid blackouts when it comes to their content that stayed under the Disney umbrella. Disney's negotiations with both providers is hard to follow because unlike past disputes with a joint PR message from both side neither has occurred for these two Disney disputes.
