Ugh.... looks like it is going to be another football season without my locals in HD.
You should be in the OKC beam if you have the correct address.

You should be in the OKC beam if you have the correct address.
Is there a map that breaks the 61.5 spotbeams down? I usually don't have a problem with this sort of stuff, but I can not seem to get the hang of how the 61.5 beams work. For example: the map (at ekb) shows Chicago on TP 11. Charts are showing the Chicago beams as 11s14 or 11 area 4. Is there some way to find out if you can hit one of these spots? Can you go the the signal strength screen and toggle through all the TPs to see if one turns from transponder to spotbeam?
Thanks,
Thanks,
Can they just move those from conus to spotbeam without testing? They uplinked the mpeg4 SD a couple weeks ago
The beams are probably already tested with other content.... they will just shift the content.
do you know which direction 61.5 is from nw fl, I need to see if I have a line of sight.
use internet site

Neat stuff.
So you mean "move" to OKC correct? No, we get our locals from Tulsa and have had them since 03. I don't want to move cause Tulsa covers our weather better than OKC, plus having been with them so long. It stays in the back of my mind to "move", just don't want to hassel with it...
Doesn't list 129 for me which I can get reasonbly well. Don't know how accurate this site is?
Dish has posted BTV for late april or early may and a couple of sources here are saying tomorrow. enjoy- i have mine OTA - it'll be nice to have both
I was kind of shocked to see Mobile, Al show up on the list. Had no real idea they were coming until the uplink a few ago.. But what I can't understand is why the NBC is supposedly being left off.. I know Dish has agreements for all the majors around here for the SD part.. Why would a local station give rights to SD and not to HD.. Especially NBC which is on the bottom of every rating list.. Unless they think the Olympics gives them a bargaining chip for more cash.. Which to me doesn't sound very bright on their part.. The Olympics usually are a flop. Oh well.. CBS and Fox are where I am most of the time anyway.. And the wife does ABC.. So I guess I will just not miss the NBC that much.. Have it on OTA anyway.
Another good sign for Connecticut viewers:
Both Mobile, AL and Jackson, MS were listed as cities for HD locals in June on the DISH website (as was Hartford, CT). If, in fact, those two cities go live tomorrow, then that could mean Hartford, CT lights up next week, much earlier than the June date.....
