Problems getting Buffalo locals in Ontario 61.5W

[turk]

Have a Dish from Buffalo Ny using in Ontario during Summer. Dish is 1000.4 eastern arc receiver is 211K.
Have aimed dish peaking 72.7. Readjusted to peak 61.5 Max reading on transponder 13 is 8. So no Buffalo locals.Max reading on other transponders is between 40 and 60. Didn't test this dish or LNBF in Buffalo. Could the LNBF be bad? Spotbeam map shows I am within 55dbw band on map. Map shows this as SP51 but I thought it was SP4. I am about as far away from Buffalo as Syracuse is. Any ideas?

Dish has adjusted the entire 61.5 satellite so all the beams have moved.

Any maps available for new setting?

No. Dish didn't resubmit them to the FCC.

Found this in another thread xxxx://xxx.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?search=dnsatsdn61&sub=true&sort=&order=&beamMap=E12_SB4.jpg Don't know exactly where it came from but could it be accurate? If so it looks like it would be difficult to get decent signal here. I guess a large dish? Could I do a side dish plugged in to the 1000.4 "LNB in" port?
I guess another option would be to pick up the locals in SD from Satellite 110 and use this to feed 1000.4 lnbf in

Its based off the same data. What signals can you get on 61.5 on the spotbeams?

Yes, you can plug a wing dish into the 4th port on the 1000 LNB.

You could also try some of these beams on 129 for locals... or just go with some of the CONUS locals on 61.5 for now:

SatelliteGuys.US_TheList - DISH Network 129°W
SatelliteGuys.US_TheList - DISH Network 129°W
SatelliteGuys.US_TheList - DISH Network 129°W

How can I get Conus networks (locals) when I am subbed to Buffalo locals?

"Move" to the dma you want locals from. You need a valid address.

Your 1000.4 is working, that is the correct reading. You will need a 39 inch wing dish to get the buffalo locals.

Where would I get a 39 inch dish? Any recomendations?

Any satellite retailers should have it. Not sure what part of Ontario you are in. Toronto there are a lot of satellite stores. On Matheson Avenue near Dixie there're at least two of them.

Sorry man I don't.

Why do you need to change your setup. Move to one of the ConUS DMA's.

I go back and forth to Buffalo and would like to keep these locals to keep contact with home.

When Echostar 16 finally gets launched will this help my situation? Spotbeam 54 looks like it should get here fine

Does anyone know if Buffalo will be on the new sat?
