Message: [QUOTE="jimdandyvi, post: 2887647, member: 155577"] In the USVI the standard dish is now a 90CM dish with a dual LNB aimed at 110 & 119. You will not get all the HD channels that you received stateside. No PTAT and the locals are not in HD. Some of the commercials on the locals (the stations in Puerto Rico ) are in Spanish. If you are a baseball fan you probably will not get any play off baseball or World Series games that are carried on Fox. You may be able to sign up for distant locals from either NY or Calif. Unless you are a night owl watching Monday night football is tough. When the US goes back on standard time in the fall games don't start here until 9:30 PM. Your home's cabling will have to be modified to incorporate the node the Hopper works off. Some or all of the old coaxial cable will need to be replaced to meet the Hopper's higher standards. IMHO you might just be better off just using a VIP receiver and modify or replace the satellite dish to pick up both 110 and 119 and add a switch if necessary. Having a dish and cabling system that will support either a Hopper or a VIP receiver is going to be overly complicated. Enjoy St. John! [/QUOTE]
