Is there any reason not to set up my Winegard MinMax in-motion dish to use Dish Network's 61.5 satellite instead of the 110/119/129 setup? I travel only in the northeast US and only have the basic $39.99 package. I've checked and all my HD channels plus HD locals are on the 61.5 sat. The 61.5 sat is at a 41deg elevation, so it should be easier to get in tree covered areas as well.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the reply but I'm not sure what you mean by "you have to split the difference".

In addition to picking up 61.5, there will also be a 72.7 and a 77 satellite. Two of the satellites are for locals, one is for core programming and movies.

I need to repoint mine for 61.5/72.7/77.. currently I am an oddball 110/119/61.5.
I also hear that Dish is migrating the HD from 61.5 to 72.7, which should already be the same as 129. Appearently 61.5 will be the Eastern Spotbeam, 72.7 HD, 77 Standard...
