| | | Way to get OTHER locals?
I was reading in some other threads and on another forum that people get their locals changed when they change their billing address.
Since I am on automatic billing and to this date dish has never sent me anything in the mail. Is it plausible that I could swith my billing address to say, somewhere in new york city? and get their locals?.
Has anyone ever done this?

Spoi beams are your problem search for moving and spot beams.

You can only "move" to a nearby city in spot beam area. For instance I live in Nederland , Tx , which is 90 miles from Houston ,Tx. I can get locals from them because I am within the 100 miles spot beam coverage area. Simply gave a real address of a movie theater in Houston and added another apartment number to it and bang: I am eligible for Houston locals for my service address. As usual your mileage may vary.

You have to change your service address not your billing address.

I went thru and looked at some of the locals listed in my conus beam area, like DC and Charlotte and Richmond, But they all seem to have limited numbers of HD channels. Thats the main reason I was wanting to try it. To get more HD channels.

I have to ask are you Eastern Arc. It shows that you are in VA but not where in VA. I didn't see any way for you to pick up NYC but it may be possible for you to get Wash DC from 61.5. SatelliteGuys.US - Subscription 61.5°W |

With some exceptions that's all most markets are currently getting for local HD. Look at The List! again to be sure.

How does moving work with DHPP? If I have a receiver that breaks or the hard drive goes out, can it be mailed to the billing address or does it have to go to the service address?

I have read on this forum that you can tell them to send to your billing address. Dish installed me on Western Arc because of a tree in the way of Eastern Arc, so that meant no HD locals for Knoxville. Luckily I am in the Atlanta spotbeam on 129... This setup works very well for me because I can get my HD locals over the air, although with occasional breakups, though greatly reduced after installing a decent antenna. The 722k tuner seems to be a little too sensitive. I mean sensitive like Boy George. That doesn't happen when hooked directly to my tv or my other tv, but my tv doesn't have its own DVR, so I can live with it. It also functions better than the DirecTV OTA tuner I had in my H20 box, but that isn't saying much. lol.
