Thanks!
Weird... Pittsburgh and Detroit HD are on 118. I wonder what that says about potential Buffalo HD locals. I'm not sure if I see 118, i'll have to check when I get home.

One thing seems to clear. Even with Eastern Arc i'll need two dishes. 61.5 does have a spot for Buffalo, but 119 and I guess 118 do. I guess thats where Buffalo HD will wind up.

Well... Don't you want to warn Darren about the need for a bigger dish and bizarre LNB assembly? Without these, 118.7 is invisible.If you see 119, you won't have any problems with 118.7W.
I would assume he knows that 118.7 is only available if you have a D500 + or a D1000 + dish.
I have two D500s. I know zero about LNBs... above my head.
Right now there are no noteworthy (at least) channels I get from 118. Seems mostly foreign stuff.

Yep, 118.7 is only for Internationals and some markets have their HD Locals on that satellite. You will definitely need a new dish and if your HD locals go there, Dish Network will install it for free.
I sure hope not. I have two dishes already. Of course the second Dish could be repositioned, and of course this is all heresay. My brain is beginning to hurt.
Your brain should be hurting with the number of threads you started on relatively the same subject today

If you needed to see 118, you would get a 500+ or 1000+. The 500+ would also see 110 and 119. The 1000+ would see 129. If you point one of your dishes to 61.5, If you get a 500+ you will also have 110,118, and 119. You should see everything you could possibly want with 2 dishes.
One thing I find interesting is when I take my Dish 500 to Indianapolis I can get big 4 Nashville Locals there in SD but not the others.
All the channels are on Spotbeam 10 but the big 4 are on transponder 23 along with Cincinnati locals and the others are on transponder 27 along with Chattanooga locals. I guess they are holding back on the power for transponder 27.
I wonder what the coverage area is of transponder 27. It is obviously less than transponder 23.
Neither work in FL when I visit there. But that is to be expected as it's twice as far away as Indianapolis is from Nashville.
Anyone have any insight?

Looking at the
spotbeam areas from 61.5 you may or may not get anything. The solid line of the circle does not extend up that far in looking at the rather poor copy of the map I could find. I am considerably closer to NYC than you are and am a little worried myself as to reception.

ps: glad you took my last post as a jest for fun.
All related but not. You are probably right
