MPEG-2 channels on 61.5 pretty much all gone DN is phasing out 61.5W internationals like they did with 121 Yo will notice a much weaker signal on 61.5 cuz the majority of MPEG-2 channels migrated to MPEG-4 and or on to another satellite like 118.7 61.5 at present time contains mostly HD MPEG4 or SD MPEG4
To those of yo are subscribing to 61.5W yo will start receiving notice by mail or by phone to upgrade dish and receiver together And they don't issue multiple single receivers any more They will issue one HD receiver good enough for 2 rooms to crack down on sub share But yo could still order 3 room users to sub share with another friend if yo are careful on how to do it
