Spotbeams question

[dogpoobob]

I am about to make a trip to Albuquerque and I am in the process of setting up a dish and plan to take my 322 with us to use in our RV. Which Satellite should I be trying to access?

If I understand the spotbeam thing, we won't be able to pick up our Memphis locals anyway. Is that correct?

Correct

Correct

You will likely have the best luck with the western arc sats, 110 and 119. If you have a D500 with twin you can get both.

Call dish and tell them you are moving to ALbuquerque for a while and have them switch you to the ABQ spot beam with locals.

ABQ SD locals are on 110.

Set up for 110 and 119.

I'm only going to be there a week or so. Don't think I want to go to the trouble to "move" out there. Also, I'm not really looking to see their locals. I just want to get the usual Top 250 stuff. Is that all on one satellite? Since I'll only have one LNB, where should I aim?

Click The List! link at the top of the page. Click on Subscription List Home and then 119W or 110W to see the programming on each satellite. I think you'll probably want 119W.

322 receiver.. he will have to use WA.

Excellent point as always, Digi.
