"Moving"

I currently reside mear St Louis, want to watch MN sports. Can I "move" my dish to a MN address to receive channels?
If so, how?
Do I need to re-point my dish?


TIA

yes you can

MN HD channels (big 4) are on 129 conus but SD locals are on spotbeam that wont reach St Louis
sports channel is FSN North

Great! Then am I to understand that I do not need to physically reposition my dish other then tuning 129?
Do I inform Dish of the move to a addy in MN, but leave my current billling addy?

I am brand new to this, just want all the info before I break something.

I'll be physically moving to Las Cruces, NM soon. Locals come out of the El Paso, TX market which is not in HD yet on Dish. If I were to virtually move after the physical move -- is Denver, CO my best option for Dish HD or maybe Albuquerque, NM?

Eh -- maybe I'll just stay with Starchoice...

Since the Big4 in HD are on 129, as long as you are getting 129, you shouldn't have to repoint.

If you have an addy already picked, just hop on E* chat on their website, then have your physical address changed, but leave the billing addy the same: As you suspected.

All should be fine there. Let us know how it all pans out.

Do you already have HDTV and a signal from 129?
