Hopper Locals & spot beam

[poscher7]

I am thinking about the hopper from dish. I am 35 miles from the spot beam. I am in eastern Oneida County, NY hoping to get the locals at my camp from Syracuse,NY. How far does a spot beam go?

Typically about a 200 mile circle. But that varies depending on the angle of the beam.

I would surprised if you didn't get the signal just fine.

Check the spot beam for yourself. http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist...ll&sub=true&sort=&order=&beamMap=E16_SB29.jpg

Thanks!! Does the LNB of the Dish have to be associated with the receiver getting the locals on the primary account or will another of the same type of dish/LNB provided by dish work?

Hopper 3 uses a different LNB than other receivers but if you have a Hopper 3 at home that same type LNB can bought and used with another set up. Also if you are going to have two or more receivers and one is the Hopper you can only have another Hopper or the VIP211 on the same account. No other receivers can be on a Hopper account.
