E-mail Dish and call often, maybe something can change.

I have a 6 foot dish and can get a signal strength of 35 on transponder 17.

Other tp's are higher, but get green 28 on 17. Its moderately overcast here, I cannot see the ak range right now.

Are you getting a local CBS HD feed? I get the Anchorage feed through Dish and an OTA.

I get KUAC pbs hd ota and dish. I get poor quality "digital" abc, nbc ota (wrong side of hill for other channels). I get all of the locals from dish with exceptionally poor pq (other than the actual hd kuac).
