Can someone please help... I have a cottage in zip code 54138 and my OTA doesnt get hd locals... I can pull in SD local ..how do I no where I can "move " to to get HD locals. .. Hopefully in the central time zone.. I have Dish 1000 and a 722... THANKS
I can only pull in SD locals ... HD singal must not be strong enough... and YES GO PACKERS!!!!!!Your less than 60 miles from Green Bay, put up a antenna and you will be much better off. GO PACKERS!!!!!
Look here to see what you can get.

Thanks for your help I will check the signal....The only HD markets you might have a chance to get the SD spot beam is Minneapolis or Chicago.
Here are the SD spots you can look for on the point dish screen Menu-6-1-1
Check signal on Sat 110 trans 4 for Minneapolis
Check signal on Sat 110 trans 31 for Chicago
If you get the 129 satellite, then the Chicago HD locals are carried on a CONUS (Continental US) beam. You could 'move' to Chicago and pick those up from anywhere in the 48 states. They have all 4 networks in HD. Here is a list of the CONUS HD on 129. HD - EchoStar 5 at 129.0°W - LyngSat
Thanks to all I'm moving to Chicago.....
Packer fans don't move to Chicago, what's wrong with you?
I only reiterated your post because the OP was listening to somebody else and was going to check transponder strengths on 110.I hear an echo.
Do you just call CS and tell them you are moving and give a new address? How does one move. Im interested in doing this as well because of some issues with OTA HD
Make sure you tell them to keep the same (present) Billing Address.Others with experience can chime in...
1. Find the market you want. Make sure they have HD locals!
2. Can you receive the signal? Double check the signal on your receiver!
3. Be aware your timezone could change based on the market chosen.
4. Find an address and verify it qualifies on DishNetwork website!
5. Call up the little guy in India, tell him your new winter home address, tell him you already have the dish hooked up and working. You just need to see if they have locals for this area.
Another question, is there a place where I can see what cities have locals in HD so I know which one to pick?
