Can I get Turbo HD Bronze Stand Alone from orbital position 61.5 only?

With no premiums, locals, or sports packages.


How about HD Absolute, similarly with no locals, premiums, regional sports, or other miscellaneous programming?

Thanks. :)

A majority of HD channels are on 110 and 119, so I don't think you can do "just 61.5".

The HD Absolute is not available any longer.
HD Channels like ESPN, USA Network and Sci-Fi are on 110 orbit. You still need the two dishes if you want all of your HD channels. It is a mess but it is still better than trying to pull in the 129 orbit.

That's for sure. I have a minor tree branch problem so I have a color chart for 129 based on transponder strength. Red means that if a bird flying by sneezes, or its rainy, I lose signal on TBS. Orange requires a 1-3 mph breeze, or an icy storm, to break things up. Yellow requires something over 5 mph. And lime green is 10+mph gusts. Depending on weather I record the SD signal.

You got that slightly backwards, though it doesn't change the ultimate answer...

Most of the HD is on 129/61.5 (pick one or the other don't need both). I believe 9 channels (not counting PPV) are on 110. That said, Dish will not sign up a new customer for HD that can't see all the locations anyway.
