    Dumb question about spotbeams

    Happy holidays, all! I have a dumb question regarding spotbeams. How precise are they? I may be relocating from mid-Iowa to the Minneapolis area. Both locals are on the same spotbeam. Would I still be able to pick up the Iowa locals? (The reason why I'm not keen on just calling Dish...

    Lost 119

    Thanks, Iceberg. Very odd situation because I KNEW that the Dish wasn't aimed correctly. The elevation was just enough off that I don't believe it was actually picking up either the 110 or 119. I finally eyeballed it instead of using the instruments and started receiving both. The suggestion...

    Lost 119

    Good evening, all! I posted a couple months back about getting Shaw set up. DISH worked great. Now I moved back to Iowa and am having trouble with the 119 on DISH. I am using 110 skew, 38 on elevation, and 202 on the azumuth. 110 booms in fine. The check switch said that it wasn't detecting...

    Deal with NPS to "save" distants on DISH!

    Deal with NPS to "save" distants on DISH!

    I am assuming that because I have distants now from DISH that I won't have to go through all of the crap I did eight years ago when I first qualified with DISH? :confused:

    Distant Network Shutoff on December 1st?

    So what about the CWs & My Network? I have been told alternatively by DISH supervisors that KTLA, etc. are subject to the cutoff and that they are not subject to the cutoff. :mad: Does anyone have any idea as to whether or not those will continue? I keep pointing out that it only talks...

    EchoStar Statement in Response to Florida Court Ruling

    The Court Screwed Up I know many people are chuckling about this, but I'm one of those million that it affects. :mad: I am smack in between three markets none of which can be obtained without a bunch of snow. The old "Contour B" place. Much as I dislike DISH, PT-24 pulled the west feeds...
