Two ways to go,129,119,110 ,or 61.5,72.7. What would I get the best signal from?

My elevation angle (northern VA) is near 45 degrees, so for me, I get a lot less weather between the dish and the satellite. EA is way better for me.

This answer depends upon where you're located. Go for the highest elevation angle.

Thanks Northern MI. for me,not sure what my angles are.

Thanks Northern MI. for me,not sure what my angles are.

I don't have a zip, but I guessed at 48003 by Googling "northern MI" and put that into Dishpointer.com. WA has an elevation angle of 28.7 deg. EA has an elevation angle of 39.3 deg. I don't know where 48003 is, though. Is that close enough?

48721

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Which one has your locals on it?

 

[TheKrell]

48721

Wait, what? Isn't that a New York zip?

Anyhow, for that zip, WA is only at 24.3 deg, while EA is 42.7 deg. Scott makes a good point. If you want your locals delivered via satellite, you may have no choice.

 

[zplugger]

Thanks, will check locals. Looks like 61.5 and 72 are the highest.

EveryNY zip I've seen starts with a 1.

I did not know that. It appears that DishPointer.com has an issue.

The Zip is Blackwater, Michigan. The HD channels are on 61.5. The OP wants to use Eastern arc....

Ah. I only know it because I grew up there (upstate, not the city).

NY Zips start with 12 - downstate, 13 - central and 14 - western

Ive noticed all my channels are on 61.5 now have they migrated everything?

DISH is always moving things around.

 

[NYDutch]

Dish moved a lot of the popular "cable" channels from 72.7 to 61.5 sometime last year as I recall. Or was it early this year. Getting old sucks...

 

[navychop]

Beats the alternative.

I think.

I just had a new roof put on and I moved the dish I wasn’t about to put holes in the new roof. I installed it on the Facia and I have nothing but clear sky in front of it. The old spot sneaked through some trees.. Do I need to reinstall the side arm supports to the mast ? And what is the best signals I should look for. I am on the Eastern Arc .
