Forcing 211 to get SD Locals from 61.5?

[hman920]

I have a 211 receiver with a DPP44 switch and 2 dishes looking at 61.5, 110, 119, and 129.

I was previously looking at 118.7 instead of 61.5. I needed 118.7 for EuroNews.


My locals are the Green Bay, WI market.

Looking at 61.5 instead of 118.7 is fine, I still get EuroNews plus I now get my "big 4" locals in HD.

The Green Bay, WI locals are in SD on 110 TP 23, Spot 23.

The Green Bay, WI locals are in HD on 61.5 TP 13, Spot 11. The secondary networks (local channels 14, 32, and 38) are also on 61.5 TP 13, Spot 11 in SD.

I receive a MUCH stronger signal from 61.5 TP 13, Spot 11 than I do from 110 TP23, Spot 23 (80-85 signal vs 25-30 signal).

With my current setup can I somehow "force" my 211 to see all my locals (HD and SD) from 61.5 (without loosing 110-119-129)?

Right now the only way my 211 sees all my locals from 61.5 is when I connect only 61.5 to my 211, no 110-119-129.

I know switching to Eastern Arc would fix this 61.5/110 locals issue but I would rather stick with Western Arc for my core channels because I get really good signal from all other transponders.

Any info would be great?


Thanks!

EA is your only option as there is no way to force any receiver to use the satellite you prefer over the one it "picks"

No

n0qcu is right. There is no forcing of sats.

I had 61.5W for Voom before 129W was there and kept it after going to Dish 1000 (boo), not 1000.2. With both I had a problem of stopped recordings at 4:12AM MST/MDT as other did in other zones. It would usually select wobbly 129W. Changing the input order did not change that. I found my 622 had 61.5W. So yes, you have no control over the satellite selected, thru the DPP44, in this case.
