Well guy's in Davenport....I am getting more and more calls every day asking me to go ahead and put up an outdoor antennas so our residents can get the locals in HD......People are just getting upset now as the anticipation is being replaced with disgust.
Today I had a customer in Bettendorf that was so upset that he can't get the locals in HD, He threatened to cancel his DN service. He was very excited to have me put up an antenna. I gave him a free MT2 OTA Module for his 722. Scanned all of the channels and we were good to go. He didn't realize that he could have the local channels show up on his guide.
Last week I ordered 20 more outdoor antennas and just got them delivered UPS last night. I had a sneaky feeling that dish wasn't going to come through.
If I had to make a uneducated guess on when dish will "turn on" the HD locals in Davenport, I would have to say.... middle of 2010?....
So, can these outdoor antennas be mounted to the dish or do they need a separate location? Can they be diplexed into the sat signal?
Check your signals on 1-16 on 129 (give it time to lock) You might be surprised what you can get.
What signal strength are you getting? It looks like its on TP14, but 21 seems a bit low. I think St. Louis is on TP 10 where I get 46. Maybe its time to be a St. Louis resident?Nashville works for me FWIW.
Yes, They can be mounted to the dish. I use a special adapter that secures it to a small pole and attaches to the back of the dish. And Yes, It can be diplexed. Diplexing the antenna and satellite signal is common practice with Dish Network equipment.
actually, it can only be diplexed IF you are NOT using a amplifier.. it a amp is sued, a new rg6 is required..

TP 12 and 10 - SatelliteGuys.US - Subscription 129°W
Probably your best bet..
You probably have decent signal on the 110 SD spotbeam for St Louis also.

TP 14 bounces from 24-26 for me.
Any particular reason you went with Nashville instead of St. Louis?
Edit: Hmm.. Nashville SD locals appear to be on 110 TP 23 and I get a signal strength of 48. Would be nice since 129 always goes out before 110 during heavy rain.
OTA video and guide info works fine...not sure what would happen if you moved time zones though, since your receiver would be on a different time and your OTA would be on another. Wonder how that works out for people that get their locals in one time zone but can pick up a DMA via OTA across the timezone line.
