Looking to get Western Arc. Can somebody point me to the coverage maps and the spot beam maps for Montana or North Dakota near the Canadian border? Thanks!

The List will have everything you need.

The WA satellites are 110/119/129. Select a satellite and click on a beam/spotbeam. If you click on the Conus Beam you'll get a map of the coverage. Same if you click on a spotbeam number.

Edit: If that's ToonTown you will probably need a larger dish for each satellite. Can't you get most everything with Rogers or Bell satellite?

Thanks Laddyboy. That is exactly what I was looking for.

If Toon Town is Saskatoon, you are correct. Bell has a weak selection of HD and what they have is overcompressed and down-rezzed. I don't think Rogers is available there.

Just a note to say that it is my experience that these footprint maps should only be considered as a rough guide. For example, I live within the green lines but need a 30inch dish to get a good signal from the conus transponders of 119.

Not legally since you are in Canada. But if you have an American address most likely you are fine.

He's probably FTA/Pirating Dish's signal.
