Is there any way to reconfigrue the settings on my dish to switch my local channels from lincoln to kansas city?

You can if you "move" so if you know someone in KC, the spot beam should cover that wide.

I can't go into "configure satellite" put in a kc zipcode and the longitude/latitude, and repoint the dish to pick them up?

no

do a search on "moving". You dont physically move

aaahhhh.....i'm a dumba$$.
the reason I ask, is we had a huge ice storm/blizzard, and our locals are iced out

 

[Mr Tony]

they'll come back. We had snow/ice here in Minneapolis and our locals came back

clean the snow off the dish and your locals should return

Besides, if your locals are out, the KC locals will also be out. The problem is almost always because of cloud cover or snow buildup on your end. I've been a dish customer since 1997, and I have seen weather cause an uplink problem exactly twice in that time.

The reason the locals are out is because of where DISH "pick up" the locals is out of power. The central part of the state is with out power. See the news article. I believe that you will see the Direct is in the same boat. The pick up I believe is with out power as they try to repair the power lines. Since they were up and running on Jan 1, I think this is a temparory thing.

The locals just came back up so power has been restored. Check them at this time and things should be ok.

Just got this link so I thought I would share. I think people will understand why the power was out to the hub.

Pretty nasty when there is 1 - 2 inches of ice on barb wire like that.

Enjoy.
