Eastern & Western Arc?

[isbar]

Hi,

If I am subscribed to dishnetwork, could I get from the eastern arc or western arc the programming that I am subscribe to, indistinctly.

Thanks.

If you are in South America, I seriously doubt that you will be able to get a signal from any of the eastern or western arc satellites. They are aimed at North America. Even Mexico is having trouble getting a signal with very large dishes.

Hi, need more info to help - what receivers do you have? What is your location?

I am located in the caribbeam. I have a VIP 222k receiver with one 1.8 m dish pointed at 119, and another one to 129. I am subscribed to AMERICAN TOP 20O. If I repoint the dish that is already at 119 to 72,7, could I received the programming from there without any problem?. I am thinking to do this because from 72,7 I can get more channels.

Try it and Find out. What do you have to lose??

Just move it back if it doesn't work.
Its not like its a 10 or 12 foot C band Dish.

I give you a place to look at the satbeams maps. I really think that you will need a 2.4 m offset dish to do it. You need to set your location, find the sat and then look at the footprint to see what size will work.
