I am in a campground in pennsylvania on western arc 110/119, but the tree leaves are coming in and have total signal loss.
Can I switch to eastern arc? What (name) do I look for in sat finder to know where to point satellite?
Thanks!!
 
The eastern arc sats are at 61.5 and 72.7, but you'll need an eastern arc LNBF to match the spread. It can be done with a 110/119 LNBF, but it takes very careful aiming, luck, and one sat or the other will likely be a little more shaky than the other. I've been off Dish for over a year now, but I think the bulk of the cable type programming is still on 61.5 if you can only hit one of them. I'm sure someone will correct me on that if needed.

My satellite dish will find it, I am just trying to find out what the azimuth is from where I am. Zip code 17572

So far I have found several different answers for the azimuth 61.5 satellite (Dish network) for my location 17572...
169, 157, 186
Other than trial and error anybody know what's accurate?

DishPointer.com . Put on your location and 61.5 W for the satellite and it brings up a map with all the info. You can even move your location around a bit to find a clear line of sight.

Where have the good meters gone?
