    Antenna Selection Help

    Thanks Thanks Tower Guy for the suggestions. That HD-7698P is one heavy dude. Would you suggest a Channel Master CM9521A or could I get by with a cheaper alternative. I don't totally understand some of the mechanical load specs I've seen on some rotator models.

    Question about local channels

    :D Maybe it's a Kentucky conspiracy as #50 Louisville has no HD locals yet. I think dish added some of the Louisville HD's last week but Direct is a nada.

    Newbie Spotbeam Question

    I've been lurking about for quite some time trying to educate myself. I didn't want to ask a stupid repetitive question if an answer was already provided elsewhere. So anyways - here goes my first post...... I live within zipcode 42701 which is pretty near the center of the published footprint...
