Do you get channel 580 or 9902?

If you get those, then you're aimed at 61.5 and the rest should come in. If not, is the dish aimed properly?

i do get you are aimed at 61.5,should i use a 18" dish round or oval

[Iceberg]

either dish works. I have a 18" Dish300 dish for 61.5

i'll re point and let you know although doing some reading those other chanells may be only avalible on only two model hd recievers and not on the 6000 thanks

I goofed up what you were asking.

Those channels you can't get you need a MPEG4 box (411, 211, 622). The 6000 will only get some of the HD chanels (the old HD package)...anything new Dish adds you need a VIP receiver (622, 411, 211).

I'm in the same boat with my 811

yep. And the sad part is most of the channels aren't reslly MPEG4. They're MPEG 2 channels with MPEG4 encryption. They're doing it to get you to upgrade.
