    "Move" Question

    I assumed since I could lock in to 110/31 that I was within the beam. I guess this isn't the case. I'm about 180 miles from Dallas. Any guesses as to whether I'm within the beam?

    "Move" Question

    OK guys, I think I'm close. I called my buddy back in Dallas and had him confirm his settings while tuned to an HD local channel. He was on satellite 110 and spotbeam 31. When I tune to these settings I get a signal around 50 on the meter. So, at this point, I think I can safely change my...

    "Move" Question

    Big surprise here, but now I'm a bit confused! All I'm interested in the Dallas locals in HD. At menu 6 1 1, what settings do I need to change to see if I am OK? I put the satellite option on 110, but then the transponder option changes to spotbeam on and off as I scroll through the...

    "Move" Question

    When I checked spotbeam 21 based on the previous post, I had a much higher signal. Are the Dallas HD locals on various spotbeams? Today is 100% overcast and the weather is acting like it is going to rain. It's definately not a clear day, but it's not full blown rain storm either.

    "Move" Question

    Here's what I found: At menu 6 1 1, I changed the satellite to 110 and spotbeam 29 and had a 33 on the signal meter. The 119 satellite that was programmed for the local programming is at a 74 on the signal meter. With a 33, am I within the spotbeam? Thanks.

    "Move" Question

    The system info screen shows that I have signal on 119, 110, and 129. When I try to go to channel 175, the screen says that this channel is available for immediate upgrade. I guess the current programming package didn't include this channel. Thanks.

    "Move" Question

    Thanks for the reply. Are the HD locals on 100W also? The HD locals is really what I trying to get. When I look at the dish outside, it doesn't show that it is a 500, but the point satellite screen says 500 under the dish option. Is there any way to tell which dish I have? As far as...

    "Move" Question

    I'm interested in "moving" from College Station, Tx to Dallas, Tx. Before changing my service address, I wanted to confirm that this will work. After researching, and reading multiple threads here, I'm still not sure if this will work. I can't find any information that tells me which dish I...
