DIsh Problem in Wisc

[RIck A.]

I installed a dish at my cabin in Wisc. I brought my box from Chgo there and I can not get channel 9 and a couple othe rlocal Chgo channels. Is there anyway to get the signal for channel 9 so I can watch the Blackhawks games?

Don't think so. You're probably out of the spot beam coverage area. Is it giving you an error message or the channels just don't appear in the EPG?

 

[Mr Tony]

what dish did you set up? (EA or WA)?

Looking at the spotbeam maps the 129W HD coverage doesnt go that far into Wisconsin.
SD locals from 110 the Big4 are CONUS but the rest are on a spotbeam (again coverage doesnt go that far north)

I live in central wi and I changed from 129 sat to 61.5 and the eastern arc and I get a strong signal on all the chicago stations It won't work if you just ad a 61.5 dish I first tried to add just the 61.5 dish but I found out that when the 129 dish is also hooked up, for some reason the 129 signal screws up the 61.5 so I self installed an eastern arc dish and added a seperate dish for 61.5 to get a real strong signal.
