CONUS Locals

[Hadcroft]

Like many Dish customers, I have been affected by the loss of Pittsburgh CONUS locals on 61.5W.
I've read through some of the relevant posts and unless I missed it, there are no longer any CONUS locals
on 61.5W or 72.7W. I can't get 77W.

It seems from my research that spot 51 on TP19 on E16 is for Buffalo locals. I'm reasonably sure
I'm in the spotbeam coverage. I got my information from here:

So my question is, are there still any CONUS locals available (or will there be in the future) and would my plan
to "move" to Buffalo get me some local stations.

All help appreciated.

At some point all locals will be on spot beam so if you "move" to Buffalo, it may be short lived.

Buffalo has its new spotbeam, it isn't changing now.

Chicago and Denver still show up as CONUS on 61.5 but unavailable. You never know what might happen. If you get a signal with Boston on the TP mentioned then go ahead change the address and see.

Are the NYC big 4 still Conus?

I believe the sd ones may be, but the HD ones have been on spot beam for some time now.
