Eastern Arc from Puerto Rico

[supermanpr]

Anyone out there knows if it is possible to get 72.7 and 77 from Puerto Rico using 4' antennas?

Currently I am using 5' / 4' / 4' antennas with a 61.5/110/119 setup and it works great (except for TPs 19, 21 and 24 in 61.5 but that isn't an issue for me).

I want to preserve my premium channels in HD.

Don't bother
72.7 and 77 are too weak to reach this area.

 

[supermanpr]

weaker than 61.5?

 

[technoguy]

Yep, by far.

 

[supermanpr]

Thanks.

I guess I will have to change my "moved" status when they change 61.5 HD content to 72.7 and deal with the limited amount of HD offered from 110/119 to PR customers.

Do you know if Dish is doing something in order to offer Premium channels in HD for PR or am I screwed?

Any other options?

A lot of things will change once echo 14 becomes operational,Also by the Summer our service for PR costumers will improve when 4 RSP offices start business .So my advice for you or any PR resident ..... be patient

Don't know what programming it will be carrying but the new E15 Conus scheduled for 61.5W this fall will blow the socks off receivers in Puerto Rico using a standard small antenna.

Yup what my tocayo nelson 61 is saying is true when that echostar 15 the new one is up at 61.5 everyone will have more HD in PR!


definition of tocayo is two persons that have the same name!

Techno what is a RSP? Is it 4 regional offices

 

[Mr Tony]

RSP usually means regional office for service or install

If most of the premium channels (HBO and Starz) are on tp 24 and you dont see that one. Which are the premium channels that you want to preserve?

Short answer,yes you can...but you won't have locals and will still to pay Florida taxes instead PR taxes. and no is not through EA. it will be using western arc old fashion way(110,119) and in your case 61.5

 

[technoguy]

Thanks!

Sorry didn't answer before Nel,But yes the answer is correct.

 

[elTiTANio]

...but you won't have locals .....5

AWSOM! hehe

what exactly is it the 61.5 satellite for? I need another dish then. I already have 110 and 119 installed....

If you have Any HD programming, in order to get all the ch you have then you need a 3 dish pointing at 61.5w location,but also that dish have to be a 6 footer dish to work properly (less signal fade).
