• The rest of the Phoenix locals at 119° tp 5 spot 6 were moved to tp 20 spot 35 at 110°. All 13 Phoenix locals are now on this transponder. (ANON) The "X" Phoenix locals telling subscribers that only have a dish pointed at 119° to call Dish for an upgrade still remain on channels 5992-5999. They are still on tp 5 spot 6 at 119° so that transponder has not been cleared yet.
  ++ The Phoenix locals are uplinked from Gilbert, AZ and the coverage for 20s35 is better than 5s6 for northern Arizona, which are two key factors in the move (Raymie)

• NOTAX slate was removed from channel 211 at 110°
• Cinemax HD replaced HBO HD on channel 285 free preview begins tomorrow at 6am
• Cinemax SD channels mirrored on channels 290-294 for the free preview at 6am tomorrow.
• All the left-over Showtime and HBO channels mirrored in the 280-299 block removed
• Most of the RSNs were mapped with the HD channel counterparts. When you tune to your RSN channel it will automatically tune to the HD counterpart as long as 1) the HD version is available at the time 2) you have an HD receiver 3) you have a dish pointed at the proper satellite. For example I have a Dish HD receiver with dishes pointed at 110°, 119° and 61.5°. My HD RSN is at 129°. I will not see the mapped channel. (yes I know most of you know this, some dont. I'm heading off e-mails. They are always welcome though and there is no such thing as a stupid question)
• The NHL and NBA HD channels on channels 389-399 which were never made available to subscribers were removed from the system. However the NHL HD channels became available in the 9500 block last week. Today the NBA HD channels became available in the 9500 block as well.
