Some have confused the original poster, with the latest question from the Washington, DC poster. The original poster mentioned wanting east & west feeds. The latest questioner didn't mention western arc, he just can't get 61.5
I think I know the answer to this. But I live in Washington DC and have significant signal issues with the 61.5 bird. I have no issues with 72 and 77. They only channels I need on 61.5 are my locals. All the other channels are also available on the other satellites. Do you think Dish would allow me to get locals from another market?
The way I see it our DC friend has two choices. If Western Arc is an option he could likely pull in locals from Richmond, or one of the PA markets close by since those beams are huge. Many of those have HD locals on Western Arc as well. The only other option would be to choose one of the markets currently on CONUS as ChadT4 suggested.
These four markets are exclusively CONUS on 77
Bluefield/Oak Hill, WV
Cincinnati, OH
Lima, OH
Lousiville, KY
These are currently CONUS on 77, but also are spotbeamed on 61.5 so it is likely the 77 feeds will go away at some point:
Columbus, GA
Davenport, IA/Rock Island, IL
Evansville, IN
Jacksonville, FL
Lexington, KY
Little Rock, AR
Paducah, KY/Harrisburg, IL
Springfield, MO
This market is exclusively CONUS on 61.5 (why, I wonder)?
Fort Wayne, IN
