Hi,
I moved from Detroit to DC a while back and discovered that when I hooked up my dish system I was still able to receive my local station from Detroit (a huge benefit) by keeping my old address as my billing address.
But Dish has moved the Detroit locals to a different transponder and I now have difficulty picking them up. On a clear day my reception on the locals usually hovers around the mid 50s, but if there is slightest bit of weather I loss them.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can improve this reception? I currently use a dish 500 with a dishplayer and 4900. I'm also using an inline amplifier which has helped a little bit.
Would a large dish like the Superdish help?
I love being able to keep up with news from home and would gladly pay Dish to receive these channels, but of course the FCC won't allow that.
Any advice would be greatly apprecated.
Thanks in advance for the advice,
