Most of NY is spot beamed. You could get six sd channels. You would not get any HD channels.

You could probably "move" to Denver.

Currently, there are a number of large market DMAs in HD on 129 CONUS beams. Over the next month that is likely to change so that those markets are moved to spotbeams. A number of people have speculated that E* might leave the Denver DMA on a CONUS beam. It's a huge DMA not as easily covered by a spotbeam compared too others. So "moving" to Denver might be your best bet until your CS DMA is lit up in the near future.
