    HD locals for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA timeframe??

    Sorry in advance for the long post and the bad news.....I have no information for those of you that are able to get the spot beam, but are still waiting for NBC, CBS and FOX. However, for those of us that have not been able to get the spot, I have some rather bad news. I sent the following...

    HD locals for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA timeframe??

    Yes, the retailer I was talking to confirmed that the signal strength for the spot beam is too weak for the wing dish customers. He has a wing dish at his showroom and he told me can get the channel sometimes, but it frequently drops out. What he was telling me was that, once they work out...

    Thanks K man. I spoke to someone up there today and he tells me that it is some type of programming problem with the eastern arc dish and that Dish is working to resolve it. He suggested I hang in there and hopefully they will have it worked out in a few weeks. I'll believe it when I see it.

    K_MAN - good information. Sounds like you actually found a retailer that knows something. My local Dish retailer also reps Direct and only want to push me to switch. Can you please share the name of the retailer you are talking to? I would love to talk with them.

    HD locals for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA timeframe??

    I live in Lewisburg and I am guessing I will have the same spotbeam issues as you folks in Milton and Williamsport. How do I find out for sure? Do I just check my signal strength on transponder 7 at 61.5? What level do I need? Assuming I am low, does this mean I am forever out of luck with...
