Hello, Please excuse me if this seems a stupid question. I am on a vessel with DISH fitted and I am aware of the issues and regulations with Sat TV on boats. My issue is local channels. At present the vessel is in the Nassau, Bahamas and I cannot get local channels for Florida, I understand and know why having studied spot beam maps etc. My issue is last winter we received local channels with no issue from 61.5W. I have tried all Sats available and also my ZIP is correct and authorized. I can see all channels on 61.5 except local ones, it would appear that I am outside the spot beam. Anyone know if the beam has been moved or tightened ?
