will D* eliminate the need for a dish at 72.5

[old rat]

Okay I asked this a year ago, with the launch of the two new satellites, will this end the need for a dish at 72.5 for local channels? IS D* moving in this direction?

it really seems as though D* is walking through mud when it comes to adding new channels and making improvements. Yes I understand it takes time, but in the past year, how many actual new channels have we gotten, and how much true improvement has been reached?

I hear big talk, and big talk and bigger talk but actions truely speak louder then words in this situation.

and I don't have a tivo or that type of recorder, to complain about. I can't imagine what some of you are really feeling.

I think when the two new sats are up you will see the improvements everyone has been talking about. Until then, you will have to be patient. It may well be that the 72.5 dish will no longer be needed, as well as the 110 and 119 slots.
