Hey folks
To make a long story short, I have Directv for the past 2 years with just a 18 inch basic dish. Where I am located (not important) have had no locals. Lets just say it`s a unique situation.
I am now a bit outside of my local channels (not important where) but today I set up a second dish just to see if perhaps I could get locals.The 2nd dish is also a basic 18 inch dish both dishes have 1 LNB with 2 out puts on each.
Just as an experiment (too much time on my hands) I found sat 119, now I am getting transponders 22,23,26,27,28,30,31 and 32 all at a minimum of 93 % signal strength.
From my understanding I am only missing transponders 24,25 and 29, with my luck probably the 3 that I need... LOL
does the very styrong signals I get mean that I should be able to get my locals that I am a bit outside of the area? more than a bit outside of the area actually.
Any way to find out what channels are on these particular transponders?
Does the SPOT BEAM no how far away I am from him
? Or is it just as simple as the signal and where your account is supposed to be?
I have also learned that I will not be able to download the channel info until I get a proper 4 by 4 switch, so I do not want to order 1 until I think there is a chance it will actually give me locals.
No I am not in a position to just get a triple multi dish etc, have no need for it, because I have a variety of single dishes, I also would have to buy my own.
So does the fact that I have good strong signals over 93 on 8 transponders mean I should be good? And again is there a way I can find out the exact channels on those transponders?
Does the spot beam no how far away I am? If I am authorized for a certain spot beam, and the signal is in the 90`s, shouldn`t that be ok? Even though I am outside of the area.
Thanks if anybody can help...I can get music channels in the 800`s on 119 just hooked up straight to receiver.

First off Dan46, 
to Satelliteguys!
What signal strengths do you get on the hd Washington tp? If you are getting at least 80, you should get them well. Looking at the satmaps link on the top of the page, it looks like you might get the sd locals. There isn't a map for the hd channels, but those spot beams are usually smaller than the sd ones, and the signals are more difficult to pull in, so I would guess no for the hd. I think the Boston hd channels are on 103, so they shouldn't interfere. The Baltimore signals go a little further compared to the DC ones.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
