How far can you move?

Hypothetical question

Let's say I live in the Atlanta area but I would like to receive the New York locals in HD. Would I be able to "move" to accomplish this? Might there be a spot beam issue preventing me from receiving some of these locals? Would the Dish people raise an eyebrow at this move or will they mindlessly approve it?

I believe in order to receive the HD CBS station from NYC I would need an additional dish pointed at the 61.5. Currently I have the Dish 1000 pointed at the 110, 119, & 129. The other channels (ABC, FOX, NBC) should be available with the Dish 1000.

Any thoughts on this?

NYC HD locals are still on conus on 61.5.

You mean the "Hyderabad Telecommunications Division" of Dish Networks? They could care less.

Just act legit and you will be!

The four network HD channels are on 61.5 for NY dma, the sd's are on 119, you would get the same four plus CW, My Network and maybe one PBS. The rest of the channels are on spotbeam.

Dish could care less if customers "move". They still get the same amount of money from you.... If you tell them you live in NYC now, why would they not believe you ?

What do they do with the address in the NYC area that I provide? Do they mail anything to this NYC address?

^ not if you expressly tell them to change only your service address. just make sure they leave your billing address unchanged. or sign up for paperless billing.

Also keep in mind that if you need a service call or need to swap out a receiver, etc., they will be going to the service address. That means that if need to do any of these you will have to temporarily move back.
