Hi
I have a 1000.2 setup in Savannah, GA pointed at EA satellites. I get good HD but no locals.
I think this is because I cannot see the 77W bird and this was explained to me at the time of install.
I'm quite happy with what I have as this is a vacation home.
Our main home is 2 hrs north of Toronto in Canada and I wanted to be able to use the system here
as well. To this end I purchased an extra dish and set it up this time aiming at the 110,119,129 birds.
As I have read online, my chances of a signal from 129 are poor and sure enough I cannot lock on to it
and so get few HD channels. I also still do not get any local channels. 110 & 119 are fine.
I am looking for solutions to the limitations of my setup here in Canada. I would ideally like all HD and
local channels. I don't really care where the local channels are from. My options appear to be to either
move the whole dish to point at the EA or add a single LNB & dish to point at 61,5W for HD. Still not sure
either of these changes would give me any local stations.
Would love to call Dish support but none of their 800 numbers work from north of the border.
Any suggestions are most appreciated
Regards
Steve Hadcroft
