Hello Sat Guys,
I am a first time poster here at Sat Guys. I currently live in Miami and this is where my account was established with DISH. When they installed my DISH latino and HD programming they installed 2 separate sat dishes. I am not sure which dish serves what function. I do know that I am pointed to 3 satellites (110, 119, 61) in that order. One of the dishes has 2 eyes and is facing SW. The other has 1 eye and points SE. I am guessing that 1 dish picks up 110 and 119 and the other is the HD and points to 61. Not sure about this, I would very much appreciate any help in explaining my possible config.
I would like to be able to receive Chicago local channels in HD here from Miami. If I were to change my mailing address to a Chicago area address could I theoretically receive Chicago local HD programming if I pointed one of the dishes towards satellite 129 instead of 61 like my current config? If so, which of the 2 dishes would I point at 129 after changing my zip code Chicago, IL? Or would I need to go to a 3-eye configuration on the current 2-eye dish?
Additionally, I receive the Regional Sports Channels programming. Would my change in zip to a Chicago area zip automatically change my sports programming from Sun Sports and Fox Florida to Comcast Sports Chicago without any satellite config change?
Are there any other issues that I am not addressing in this possible scenario.
Thanks,
jacoman
