    Sling and Dish

    I'm not sure I understand the Dish/Sling interaction. I have owned a slingbox (staged at a relative's house for out of market sports) for several years, so I get the Sling concept. Can I use my 722K (hooked to broadband and registered, etc) to actually watch content online or just...

    I live about 50 miles north of NYC and in the spotbeam for Boston according the maps here:SatelliteGuys.US - Dish Network ALL. I want to see if I can "move" and get Boston HD locals. According to the channel list, the HD locals I want are on the 61.5, Txponder 5, spotbeam 2. We're tuned...

    One dish to pickup 61.5 and 119?

    The locals I need to pick up are on a spotbeam on 61.5. The neighborhood where I'm moving will only let me mount one dish. Will a 1000.2 dish let me get 119, 110, 129 (all the normal channels) and 61.5? thanks

    Moving questions

    I have a similar question -- I am from New England, but stuck in Texas (in the Army). Boston HD Locals (big 4 only) are sent out on the 61.5 CONUS feed. I have a home in NH and one in Texas. I would love to make my service address NH so I can pay for locals and get the Boston HD locals...
