HD Spot Beams Different than other spot beams?

[joefriday14]

If my spot beam channels on 61.5 only go up to 32, can I pick up Buffalo New York HD local spot beams which are numbered 5180/7 5181/4 5182/2 5183/29 5184/23? Is there any other way to read them? I have an older system with one dish for 110/121 and one for 61,5. Are 61.5 more powerful signals. I live outside Buffalo and need a more powerful signal to pick up Dish network spot beams for Buffalo.

Thanks

I think you are confusing spot beam numbers with transponder numbers. The latter are 1 to 32, usually while some may not be seen or are off.

You need to see Spot 15. The Buffalo HD's ore on tp 13 on spot 15. Spot 15 runs from central NC to western NY.
