    HD Local Channels and spotbeaming.

    Thanks atp1313. I do get the SD spot beam fine. DC is about 200+ miles from NY. Are there up to date maps of the HD spots? Can I use my D10 to check certain transponders or such before upgrading equipment? Or do I just have to get the new dish and receiver and check it out?

    Are you saying this for HD spotbeams? Are you basing this on some thing you know of, or just a hunch? Any web resources that I could look at? Thanks again. (NYC locals don't have the daily sports coverage I'm looking for)
