Columbus And Pittsburgh; In The Same Spotbeam?

[JayPSU]

I was just curious, are Pittsburgh and Columbus, Ohio in the same spotbeam area? I know Pittsburgh's HD locals are on the 118.5 which I cannot "see," in Columbus, Ohio but I was wondering if it was within the spotbeam for Pittsburgh. Thanks.

Nevermind, after doing some research I found this http://jameslong.name/spots/2599-29s09-09.gif So does this mean if I "moved" to Pittsburgh I could get their locals, but I couldn't get their locals in HD because they are on the 118 satellite? I will be using a 1000.2 dish pointed at 110/119/129.

Weird. Your link won't allow me access. Something to the effect that SatGuys isn't an "approved website"

JL, what an a**hole!

Go to Echostar Knowledge Base, and follow the "Spot Beam and Satellite footprint maps of select satellites" link.

That IS pathetic. Even backing up to jameslong.name and then back to the GIF doesn't work....

JayPSU: You're right, if Columbus is in the same spotbeam as Pittsburgh, you will be able to get non-HD locals by "moving" to a Pittsburgh address. You won't get the HD channels unless you get a dish that points at 118.7.
