With the recent news that after 9/19 I cannot longer subscribe/unsubscibe to superstations and that their future and is in jeopardy in the future, plus having two Hoppers that cannot use PTAT I am thinking about moving and I'm not quite sure how to read the map. I am wondering if it would be possible for me to change over from the WA in Parkersburg, WV/Marietta, OH DMA to the EA and "move" to Charleston, WV where everything(big4) is in HD, and they carry the CW. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm not even positive that I found the right map, I followed the channelchart http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?search=dnall&sub=true&market=Charleston, WV to this satmap.

I would be within the first white/inner oval/circle, in marietta, and the first town to hit the line would be lower salem, ohio which is 13.2 miles north from Marietta.

The first thing to do would be to see what kind of signal you are getting on 61.5, transponder 26. It will probably take a long time to lock, but once it does, it should switch from "transponder" to "spotbeam" and if your signal is over 20 you should be good.
