Perhaps the 230 degree aim is magnetic and the 216.9 direction is true. The difference is the correct declination difference for the Catskills.

I've used two inline amps on a 950-1450 mHz system using 500' of RG-6.

If you were to pay for an HD signal test and fail the test, you would qualify for HD DNS service. Your only over the air possibility is WYMT, CBS from Hazard, KY. The only hitch is that you'd get switched to HD LiL if/when it becomes available.

That's not always true between DC and Baltimore. In some locations both cities are significantly viewed and DirecTV has the legal right to deliver a significantly viewed station in any county where that station is significantly viewed. In many such cases DirecTV simply refuses to take full...

Your argument is anemic. You are suggesting that it's OK to steal a diamond necklace simply because the words "diamond necklace" don't appear in the laws that forbid stealing. Try that one in court. Look again: 47 USC § 605 a 47 U.S.C. 605. Unauthorized Publication or Use of...

The transmission of a false address into the US is illegal even if done so from Canada. While it's unlikely that the FBI would extradite a Canadian for doing so, that doesn't make it legal either. An American who knowingly helps a Canadian to obtain DirecTV service in Canada has broken the...

I'm glad that you looked it up. But you failed to actually read it with your mind engaged. The first law prohibits transmitting a fraudulent address by electronic means. If you transmit a false address by mail instead, the law doesn't apply. Then mail fraud law is applicable. The second...

Those are the analog rules. The digital rules are not the same. If you put your exact address into tvfool.com, what does it say about the calculated signal strength for NBC analog, NBC digital, and NBC post transition digital?

DaveO is right. HD signal tests are not the same as analog signal tests. There is no "loser pays" opportunity for HD signal tests. The customer must pay, win or lose. I don't know if that's the law or just the way that DirecTV does it. Based on Dave's statement that he has SD locals...

There are some locations that have special rules for HD Distant Network Service. For instance, Palm Spring, CA cannot deliver NYC HD stations because they are on an earlier time zone, and can't allow LA stations because the Significantly Viewed rules prevent it. Are you in Arkansas?

The law doesn't agree with you: 18 U.S.C. 1343. Fraud by Wire, Radio, or Television

"Moving" to obtain regional sports networks may sound justified, but it's certainly not legitimate.

DirecTV seems to have designed satellites that have trouble covering the official DMA much less accommodating those who try to "game" the system. It appears to me that the DirecTV web site works properly in areas without spot beam problems but returns no results in spot beam problem areas...

Cable TV was importing the Boston stations into Brattleboro back when the ADIs were set up by Arbitron. Arbitron is no longer in the TV rating business. Now the entire county is considered to be in the Nielsen Boston DMA. If you opt to buy a vacation property in Bennington County you could...

When I made measurements of the spot beam problem in Albany I was hoping to determine if a larger dish would compensate for the problem. I was amazed that during the time that I made the measurements, everything was fine and the signal was a strong as home. I even went 100 miles further east...

It is possible that the spot beam for the Little Rock locals does not reach your zip code. Note the "zip code required" comment following Little Rock on the following list of markets. DIRECTV - Local Channel Markets The same thing is true is Albany, NY. But the CSRs are not told the real...

If you wish to tweak the dish it should be done on a Ka satellite, not a Ku satellite. The beamwidth of the dish is less on Ka band.

Waivers in Palm Springs don't work like the rest of the country and the CSR's don't know the rules because they have not been told. Quoted from here: FR Doc 05-24080 ``Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a satellite carrier may not carry the signal of a television station into an...

No, not legally.

I'd install an over the air antenna for locals on one of the two locations and simply leave the account active for the other area.

Any chance that you could receive WXGA in Waycross with an antenna? Their analog is on channel 8, their DTV assignment is channel 9. (AntennaWeb reports that WXGA-DT is not yet on the air.)

When you are close to the edge of the spotbeam, DirecTV is very conservative. You may find that it would work much of the time, but fail when the satellite is on the fringes of it's orbit, and/or it is raining. To investigate further, find a local dealer with a DirecTV HD system, look up the...
