South of The Border

[pinchefrijolero]

Does anyone know how far south I can receive DTV programming? I'm in San Luis Potosi, Mexico and want to watch my DTV.

my location is 22.1 N, 101.0 W

I have a triple LNB, but I think I need to get a larger dish.

Thanks in advance for any replys.

Signal stops at the Rio Grand legally.

Im thinking its possible, you'll need a bigger dish though

Legally it does stop at the Rio Grande.... but physically it reaches well into Mexico.. I just was wondering how far it reaches into
Mexico.


Anyone have any experience with signals into Mexico... I would like to watch some NFL without poor spanish announcers.

Amazing technology that allows D* to broadcast a signal that EXACTLY conforms to the meandering path of a river.

Is there a North of the Border service address you could fudge?

By my count you are about 300 miles from deep southern Texas. That's a pretty fringe area. I don't know the exact range of the CONUS/Spot Beam coverage, but I would have a hard time believing that you can trick a dish into getting a signal from that far south of the beam.

Yeah, the 49th parallel filter was much easier to implement.

But the Northwest Angle area of Minnesota made it almost as hard.

I have heard people in Belize get the signal.

Yeah, well that's only about 30 people.

BELIZE!!??!! Someone needs to go up there and re-aim that sat! That is way off target...

But this could be potentially good news for the OP.
