The SD feeds are still CONUS. Only the HD feeds are spotbeamed.

This is the accurate one, several are still conus (NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, CW, MyNetwork and one PBS). Rest of sd networks and all five HD ones are on spot.

Anyone know how far out into Pa the spotbeam reaches? I hear the moving van coming down the bend.

Pike Co. PA is part of the NY dma, not sure how much farther the beam would cover. SD beams seams to be larger than the HD one.

I get it in Wyoming which is in Luzerne County

Thanks, I'm dead center in Lycoming County and my luck it would end across the street from me. I'm from NYC and I had the NY & LA distants before the Scranton/WB SD's were up. That's before the fiasco of course.

Yes, but the OP only needs CBS and Fox for Jets' games.

True, but the extra cost to get the rest of the channels makes more sense since you will lose your current locals. Knowing what you will get makes making the decission easier.

you could try it. If they don't work just switch back
