Spot Beam Question for Scott

[TennVolFan]

It looks like everyone within that footprint can "see" the signal. Do I have this screwy?

Sure they can.

Thats what they do for most of the local channels. And I actually believe there is one sports channel which is on a Spot Beam only.

Fox Sports Net 2 is on the Cali beam...only Southern Cal can get FSN2

Most of the regional sports are on national beams because people buy out of market RSNs as a package.

 

[Mr Tony]

but FSN2 is on Spotbeam...something on the line of the agreement between Dish & FSN2 to get on DIsh, it could only be on spotbeam.
