    CONUS Locals

    Like many Dish customers, I have been affected by the loss of Pittsburgh CONUS locals on 61.5W. I've read through some of the relevant posts and unless I missed it, there are no longer any CONUS locals on 61.5W or 72.7W. I can't get 77W. It seems from my research that spot 51 on TP19 on E16...

    LNB Drift - Channel signal loss

    Just to clarify, I have a place in Savannah and have Dish there. The new setup is at our home in Canada. We should be so lucky as to have Dish serve Ontario!!!

    LNB Drift - Channel signal loss

    Hi I have just installed a new 1000.4 system for the EA. Signals are about 50 for 72 & 61.5 with nothing for 77. Some of the TP's on those 2 sats are lower, around 35, but green and locked. Not sure why I have nothing for 77 but that's not a problem for me. My problem is that I get Channel...

    Adding dish to existing 1000.4

    The saga continues..... I'm back from Savannah with my brand new 1000.4 dish ready to aim it at the EA. I managed to get locals in Savannah by changing my address to Pittsburgh so that I could get CONUS locals from 61.5W I have a few problems with the setup here in Canada. I've mounted the...

    Adding dish to existing 1000.4

    I think you are spot on here. This time it worked, via chat. Just told them I was moving to new address, owned equipment and didn't need setup and leave billing details as is. Last time was too much information! Thank again.

    Adding dish to existing 1000.4

    I have just tried to get my service address changed both by using chat and then phoning. Both times I was told that this contravened FCC rules and so could not be done. I explained that I cannot get locals here in Savannah because of LOS problems. Still no luck. The chat guy wanted to...

    Adding dish to existing 1000.4

    I'll be leaving for Savannah in a few days and will return to Canada at the start of June. Will buy the dish and change the service address once I'm there and install when I return home. Interesting that you mention a meter. I don't have one but was going to post, asking for suggestions. What...

    Adding dish to existing 1000.4

    Great info Navigates, Thanks. Yes I would appreciate the EBay contact for the dish. So I'm completely clear, could I pickup all these CONUS locals on 61.5W without changing my service address? Or do I need to change the service address to one specific area? This part of your post confused...

    Adding dish to existing 1000.4

    Thank You to all who replied. With regard to the posts by Navigates & IsaacmorseMI. I've sourced a place to buy a 1000.4 dish with EA LNB's and will do so in the near future. It seems this is the best way to get HD as I cannot connect to 129W. With regard to locals, if they are CONUS as the...

    Adding dish to existing 1000.4

    Hi Thanks to answers to a previous post, I know that I have a 1000.4 dish with LNB's for the WA. My Dish service is based in Savannah, GA and I have bought this extra dish home to Canada. In Savannah we are aimed at the EA but get no locals. This is not a problem. Here in Canada I am aimed...

    1000.2 setup in 2 places

    More good info...thanks My LNB's are certainly like the one for the WA. So it seems I have a 1000.4 dish with WA LNB's which should give me the best chance of picking up 129. It's snowy here now so I'm not inclined to mess with the setup but come the warmer weather I will buy a Satellite...

    1000.2 setup in 2 places

    Thanks for the suggestions I have checked my dish and it measures 25+" x 20+" so it would seem it is a 1000.4 rather than 1000.2 It is black with red lettering and I was told by an installer in Savannah that this makes it a 1000.2. No idea if the LNB's are for EA or WA. Any suggestions on...

    1000.2 setup in 2 places

    Hi I have a 1000.2 setup in Savannah, GA pointed at EA satellites. I get good HD but no locals. I think this is because I cannot see the 77W bird and this was explained to me at the time of install. I'm quite happy with what I have as this is a vacation home. Our main home is 2 hrs north of...
