Detroit locals / spotbeam/transponder reach

[Hans Vredeling]

I am trying to figure out why on a dishnetwork receiver located in Chicago, I can not get signal locked in from transponder 26, spotbeam 13 although the footprint map http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist...MI&sub=true&sort=&order=&beamMap=E10_SB13.jpg seems to indicate signal should be available

I have a 110/119/129 dish so I believe signal should come in.

Please advise.

I think the spot beam starts dropping out in Benton Harbor

Are you implying the spotbeam map may not be accurate?

 

[Hans Vredeling]

Would the spotbeam be available in Columbus?

Would the spotbeam be available in Columbus?

The map is a estimate but two items 1) was a switch check performed 2) did you try the eastern are to see of the signal is stronger?

Your best bet would be 110 degrees since this is the Ohio Spot non -HD
