Ok. I do currently have 3 dual receivers so it sounds like that would get very messy even though I do think I have at least 2 lines ran to each receiver. Plus the LNB that I have is a DishPro that only has two outputs, one for 110 and one for 119, so in order to hook up just 1 receiver I would...

ok. so if I got the urge to do this. I would just combine the 119/110 with the DP21 then run that along with 69.5, 72, and 77 into the DPP44 switch then from there to each of the receivers?

Sorry for all the ?'s but the more I read on here the more I want to play and understand. I read that with a DishPro 21 I can combine 119 and 110. Then using a DishPro Plus 44 I can then plug in the 61.5, 72, & 77 along with the combined signal from the DP21 switch and see all 5 satellites...

I called a week or so ago and moved back to my real address for a receiver upgrade and all they asked was if everything was hooked up already. I said yes and that was it. Today when I "moved" to a new address they didn't ask anything at all. Except since I am not under the NY spot here in DE...

But they are all SD on 110, correct? It just looked like from one of the maps I was well within the spot on 110 so I was curious why I wasn't seeing them. But that was a few hours ago and I may have been looking at the wrong thing. I will just happily move back a few miles north of where I...

ok. looks like i will spend the night packing to move back to Delaware :( I was going back to this post from a few year ago, someone in the same situation: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/180936-anyway-know-what-spotbeam-i-am.html I thought from that that I was seeing the NY...

East is pretty specific :) sorry I thought it was in my original post a few days ago. I am in Delaware, in Sussex Co near Greenwood, just south of the Kent Co. border. I have "moved" for years to get the Philly locals but when I had to move to upgrade the receivers I had originally asked...

yeah they are all the same 4 digit code

hmmm...... There is a 4 digit number, it's a NJ zip code and looks like the leading 0 is missing. How would I get them to put a 0 in there to make it the valid zip code?

yeah in the point dish screen. Its been all 0's as far as I know for years. One of the new receivers did have my real zip in there. Also strange is that now I get the same outside area on 8775, WSBK but WSBK on 236 is fine.

I put the zip code in, same as my "moved address", it was 00000. Another receiver had my real zip in but I changed that as well. Although I have a Dish 1000.4 and there is no option for that setup, so I am not sure what good a zip code in there does for me? The dish guy said I would be...

I am getting WPNX but its coming from sat 72, tp 31.

I am getting the NY sports channels. If I go to transponder 1, I get a signal of 2-3. WLIW is there. Also if I go to transponder 7, I get a 0 where a handful of locals are. Does it somehow know that I should be getting a signal on those and since I am not it figures I am not within the NY...

So I am really getting the Virginia spot and not the NY spot, unlike what the quote above said?

no. zipcode still says 00000.
