What is national bean?

Do you mean National Beam? it means the channel is beamed all over the Conus (Continental U.S.)

 

[charper1]

A national, or correctly a CONUS beam, means it covers the entire Continental United States.

Examples: HBO, ESPN


A regional, or correctly a spot beam, is intended to service only a particular area, or DMA of interest; usually decided by service zip code.

Examples: Your local affiliate channels
