are you positive its the Birmingham spotbeam?
and yes 70 is good enough but when storms hit the signal will probably go bye bye

yeah I see them on TP28....confused me for a bit as the chart I have doesnt label the channel as the callsign rather the 1st 2 letters of the town then the channel so I was looking for the callsign and the chart shows "BI6" as example
yeah 101 TP28
yeah 101 TP28
i wonder y its hard to receive them then ? When I tried getting them before all but one channel in the BHM DMA was kinda like what you would get from loss of signal on a digital OTA signal
Directv's spotbeam are very tight....they have a ton of spotbeams on 101
They're not like Dish who has a 3 state spotbeam. Heck some of the new spotbeams on 119 that are designated for Missouri I can get in Minnesota

hmmm well do u think I may be able to get those locals on dish network then ? I can get nashville tenn from where I am with both dish and directv btw this is the SD feed not HD
doesnt look like it in Kentucky...green ring is the footprint

Do you have just 101? If so, a bigger dish would probably help. 24" or 30" would work

it says i have 3 sats 119 110 i think and 101 but the dish is kinda small but i think it has 3 lnbs and how would i go about doing this
ok you've got the Phase III dish. I have the same one
How many receivers?
110 isnt used anymore and 119 only has Spanish channels and some locals. So technically you could get by with just a dish at 101W....Heck the HD dishes only see 99/101/103 (99 & 103 are HD)
Once I know how many receivers (dvr and regular) then I can explain how to set it all up

Well then thats easy
All you'd do is find a bigger dish (I'd go with a 30") and a regular DBS LNB and aim it at 101.
If you have a DVR run both lines from the LNB to the receiver
