Looks like those stealing tv will have to get up on the roof and make some adjustments. I can see the threads posted now.... "which direction am I moving the dish?", "I'm not getting anything, no signal", "I have no picture", etc. lol

This is the fist I've heard about this and I have tons of older receivers online. (commercial accounts)

were they on eastern or western arc? Im reading a change(dish setup) will be needed for those on eastern arc not west. But im not sure how accurate that is

CP from different site:

Below is an overview of the two types of migration that DISH may be performing for the customers involved:



QPSK Migration

Existing customers with one or more QPSK receiver on their account will be asked to upgrade to a more current receiver.
QPSK receivers include:
301, 2800, 3700, 3900, 4900, 1000/1500, 3000/3500, 4000/4500, 5000/5500, 501, 508, 510
The customer’s QPSK receivers will be upgraded at no upfront cost. The customer will also not be required to enter into a new commitment. An upfront cost and a new commitment may be required if a customer requests an upgrade to a Hopper system.These migrations must be completed by May 2015.


Eastern Arc Markets Migration

Existing customers in certain DMAs will be required to upgrade to all MPEG-4 (HD) receivers and have their antenna flipped to the Eastern Arc. The customer will be upgraded and their antenna flipped at no cost. The customer will also not be required to enter into a new commitment. An upfront cost and a new commitment may be required if a customer requests an upgrade to a Hopper system.

The migrations in the below DMAs must be completed by the end of 2015. Additional DMAs are being migrated on a reactive basis only, but these customers will not be receiving migration letters at this time

You may see an upswing in the IPTV use, seems to be quite stable and reliable.
Ya never know...plastic might be back 1 more time.

No doubt in my mind.I would like to see it evolve properly,though.I'm willing to bet that someone in the iptv providers seat designs a gui with a fully functioning guide.That's about all that separates iptv from sat as we speak, and maybe some picture quality too.
Picture quality is what is holding it back Imo. But the way all these providers are going with netflix type services it'll be here sooner then later
