    The only HD markets you might have a chance to get the SD spot beam is Minneapolis or Chicago.

    Here are the SD spots you can look for on the point dish screen Menu-6-1-1
    Check signal on Sat 110 trans 4 for Minneapolis
    Check signal on Sat 110 trans 31 for Chicago
    Soon adverb1: without undue time lapse
    2: in a prompt manner

    If you get the 129 satellite, then the Chicago HD locals are carried on a CONUS (Continental US) beam. You could 'move' to Chicago and pick those up from anywhere in the 48 states. They have all 4 networks in HD. Here is a list of the CONUS HD on 129.
    HD - EchoStar 5 at 129.0°W - LyngSat
