Getting it in PA

I am currently parked at T12 no problem here in Bristol, PA just north of Phila.
I mainly watch TV Pampa and some feeds.
I dont think it will be a problem if your on the east coast (or near it)
Good Luck

If you're right on the coast, its doable. I went to Sadoun's dish aiming guide and for Miami its a 12 elevation...doable but tough

I'm in mid-Georgia (32.7N, 83.9W) and can't get it with an HH90 or an HH120, Hispasat 1C/D is my farthest eastern sat. But, I'm new to these motors, so there's still a lot to learn on them, maybe later. With my C-band polar mount dish, the one used for the eastern arc, I have no problem.
