Thanks for the quick responses. I don't think 77 is visible from Cayman. May have to look at other options but in the meantime it may have to be MyDistantNetworks in SD for the SuperBowl!

I have three 6' dishes pointed to 61.5, 110, 118.5 and 119. Up until Tuesday I was getting my HD locals from Portland since they were on Conus. After all the movements this week they are no longer available so I have a few questions: 1. Are there any remaining Conus HD locals that are likely to...

I'm in the Cayman Islands (Caribbean) and get my HD locals from Charlotte on 118.7. Last night in the middle of Fringe (on FOX) i suddenly lost signal on all 4 networks. We obviously don't get any snow here and last night the weather was perfect. No clouds and no rain. Not sure what the problem...

I live in the Cayman Islands. I have two 6' dishes and one 4' dish but connect to 4 sats. The 4' is for 110 (signal is strong at the moment). One 6' points to 61.5 and the other 6' gets 118 and 119 (with a very large square dual LNB). Everything ties back to a DP44 switch. Have an account...

Not sure if this has been covered already. If so my apologies. Anyway Dish Network would not enable the DVR conversion feature on my 411 receiver. I have the latest software, have an external drive connected that has passed the certification test but they told me they were only enabling the...

I show Birmingham HD locals on 61.5 and 119 (both transponders 9, both spot beam) but perhaps my info is incorrect. Do you happen to have dishes pointed at 61.5 AND 119?

I am having a similar problem with my Charlotte HD locals dropping out because i have a dish pointing at 118 and 61.5. Charlotte HD locals are on 118 (CONUS) and 61.5 (SPOT BEAM). I am not in the SPOT BEAM area so I get the locals from 118 but sometimes my receivers apparently try to get the...

I am getting Charlotte locals on 118.7 (CONUS) but they are also available on 61.5 (SPOT BEAM) which I don't get. I do however use 61.5 for other channels. I am using a Charlotte address because they are one of the last remaining places offering HD locals on CONUS and I can't get any SPOT BEAM...

Other than the Ethernet connection is there any other reason to replace a three year old 411 with a new VIP211?

Moving the sat inputs didn't seem to work (make any difference). Current setup is: Port 1: 119 Port 2: 118.7 Port 3: 110 Port 4: 61.5 System still seems to default to 61.5 for the Charlotte HD locals, which are of course on spot beam so I can't get them, even though they are via CONUS...

Thanks. I'll try this. Right now 61.5 is on port 3 and 118 is on port 4.

Would 129 be visible in the Cayman Islands as an alternate to 61.5?

The problem with my Charlotte HD locals dropping out appears to be because the Charlotte HD locals are offered through CONUS on 118 and spot beam on 61.5. I have dishes pointed to both 118 and 61.5 but obviously i don't get the 61.5 spot beam for Charlotte. For some reason my receivers...

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Now that I read this i recall that every time I loose a channel and the signal screen comes up it is 61.5 that it's searching for. The problem has only happened since I've switched to the Charlotte locals. I used to get the NY ones (distance locals) but...

Thanks for the advice. Will have them check the dish alignment as well although it seems strange that it only affects one receiver at a time. The reason for the 6' dish is because I am in the Cayman Islands so we are almost 550 miles due south of Miami. We are generally able to get 119 and 110...
