I just noticed channel surfing that the atlanta locals at 61.5 have turned on they are in the 6000 numbers. Just got back from chicago yesterday. Anybody know when they turned on. Whoopie.

I gotta figure out how to make my system prioritize 61.5 over 129.

I have a 1000.2 and a 61.5 wing dish plugged into the 4th port of the 1000.2

I dont think July 9th is "several weeks ago":D
I'm not sure this is on-topic, but I have the "HD Only"
pkg, with all my channels coming from 61.5 & 110.

Sorry, I thought there were part of the June activations, didn't have time to check.
You all sure it wasnt today. Because it wasnt showing as of Tues. Then went to chicago on wed and returned sat. I didnt notice it until was channel surfing today and it was showing when I got to the 6000s. Also shows as the regular stations 2,5,11 and 46.

If you can disconnect line from 129 is the best way to go, it removes 129 totally. Others have covered the 129 lnb with foil. You have to run a switch check in both instances.

Check post #11. Channels are usually made available after 2 pm eastern time.

OP deals with Atlanta HD locals, don't see how this post means anything.

I thought ATL locals have been on 61.5 for quite a while.

Kind of hard to do that on a 1000.2 Its a modular LNB.

I'll probably have to change the head and go to a DPP44.
thanks for all the responses. I guess I didnt notice they were on saturday when I got back from Chicago. Wonder when they or if they will add the wpch 17hd to the sat.

It is uplinked, just not available. So I would hope you would have it "soon".
What is exactly on the 61.5, because I pick up Atlanta HD locals on the 129, the installed put a 1000.2 is there a repoint kit I can use to get it, I have the extra LNB out on the dish, first of all tell me what I am missing, I have them coming on fri to fix an another issue.

All the Atlanta locals and RSN's are on 61.5. I believe that all the HD programming that's on 129 is also on 61.5. I'm seriously considering having my 129 re-pointed to 61.5.
does peachtree tv come in on hd on the 61.5 i want the braves games in HD.

All information is potentially of value to someone, but...

shhh....

I still get ATL LiLs even tho' I moved to the coast over five years ago -- it may well
have something to do with one's new billing address vs one's old service address.
