    Peaking Signal Strength - Eastern Arc in MN ?????

    A few months back I had a 1000.4 dish installed by a lazy installer. He did little to peak the dish once a working signal was established. I lose signal far with anything but the slightest of rain. Current Signal Strengths (clear day, lowest-highest transponder) 61.5 (37-60) 72 (31-40) 77...

    "Moving" help for Newbie

    I am on Eastern Arc in Dayton, OH. I am looking to 'Move' as I don't currently get any locals or local EPG. Would you all concur that Charlston, WV would be my ideal choice? (Conus on 77, Fox HD, CBS HD, NBC HD, ABC HD, CW SD) Is there any advantage/disadvantages in what address I borrow?

    Echostar 8 Moving

    How long historically has it taken after a sat is moved for it to begin broadcasting? It looks like E8 is now in keeping it's position pretty well. Looks like it is still floating arount within .1 degrees of 77.

    Echostar 8 Moving

    How are you guys predicting the ETA of last week of Oct or first week of Nov? Do you assume stopping on a dime, or a slow deceleration? Once it gets to 77 how long do you expect it to be before programming is available to EA?

    nelson61, Do you know what programming they plan to put on this bird? My iterpritation of your initial message was that they may put some locals on CONUS. Is that correct?

    Eastern Arc Dish Info & Install Guide

    I can't get guide data for locals because I am pointed to Easter Arc when my locals are only on Western Arc. I had to twist Dish Networks arm to get the EA dish installed since WA wasn't available due to LOS. The installer had to have a dish shipped down from Cleveland to do my install...

    Echostar 8 Moving

    Any updates? I am anxious to see what they do with it and how quickly once it gets to its final position. I hope they put some CONUS HD locals on there so I can “move.”

    Combining off air and satellite feeds

    Wouldn't a diplexor work to mix the signals down one RG6 coax? As long as the signals on the OTA antenna don't interfear with the channel used for TV2 output I would expect this to work.

    OTA + Eastern Arc in Dayton, OH

    Are there any CONUS locals on 61.5 or 72.7 (or expected on the future 77)? I was looking at the spotbeam map and I might be on the fringe of the 61.5 spotbeam for Chicago.

    OTA + Eastern Arc in Dayton, OH

    There are non-spotbeam locals (CONUS) broadcasts for other cities' locals. Also based on the spotbeam map for 61.5 it looks like dayton is on the fringe of both SB10 and SB11. If I can get either of these spotbeams I will be able to get the locals from that area (Chicago, Indy, ...). If I can't...

    OTA + Eastern Arc in Dayton, OH

    Please Help I tried subscribing to the locals and forcing the guide refresh by check switch. Then I waited 24 hours and did check switch again. Still nothing. I took a look on their support site and it mentions that guide data for a channel is only available from it's assigned sat. In other...
