    Eastern or Western Arcs

    I agree with the switching the cables. I'm wondering if I could use an old school A/B Switch so if I'm not there a newbie can just click the switch and run a check switch

    Eastern or Western Arcs

    I was able to switch from Eastern to Western arc. I left both dishes up, just wondering if i could connect both to the same receiver? I know many of the channel are overlap, but i'd like to use both for backup purposes.

    Thanks again everyone. I've searched Craigslist for dishes but can't find much. Any one know how i can find a local reseller?

    Eastern or Western Arcs

    NYDutch, Thanks for the reply. If I switch over to western arc (110/119/129) would I be within the spot beam to receive Chicago locals? Also if you have the URL for Spot beams that would be great.

    For 72 I picked 18. That yields a signal level of 40. The micro adjustment for AZ is missing. I made the mistake of over tightening. In the case of Chicago locals, is that error just because I'm outside the spotbeam?

    Eastern or Western Arcs

    Thanks for all the replies guys. Looks like my chicago locals are on 61.5. I've read Eastern Arc is easier to dial in if they're obstacles in the way. Something about 129 being low on the horizon. Which Satellite would you recommend i dial in first?

    Eastern or Western Arcs

    Hi, I am setting up Dish service at my summer house about two hours north of Detroit. I've always setup my dishes to point to 110/119, but this way years ago. Before I buy equipment I'm trying to gauge if I purchase a LNB and dish that points to the Eastern or Western Arc satellites...
