Satellite coverage map???????

[Tahoerob]

Is there a satellite coverage map???
I might move to Idaho from Virginia & want to make sure I will not lose any channels.

you should only lose your current locals for the new locals, your regional sport network, for the new one, and depending on if you get cbshd you might have to requalify. you might also need a superdish for your new locals.

Yes, there is satellite's maps ! Have you heard about Lyngsat dot com ???????????? :shocked

I think he means as far as a spotbeam map - but since he's moving SO far away, don't think you need a map for that...

Below are two website addresses. The first will allow you to determine what satellite your locals are on and if they are on a spotbeam. The second will allow you to see the spotbeam coverage. Note that Dish currently has two spotbeam satellites, Echostar-7 at 119 W and Echostar-8 at 110 W.

THANKS!!
This is what I need.

Looks like spotbeam on 110 & 2 locals on 148. I also would need 148 for HD PPV & HD Events. So for 110 & 148, does that mean a SuperDish?????

 

[Mr Tony]

no
Superdish is 105 or 121 (along with 110/119)

 

[Tahoerob]

no
Superdish is 105 or 121 (along with 110/119)

So would I need an extra dish for 148 like I do now for 61.5????

 

[Mr Tony]

depends on where in Idaho you are moving to...a couple local areas have ALL their locals on 148

Some of that data is incorrect. I know for a fact that Philadelphia is on 110, Spotbeam 2.

 

[Mr Tony]

just did some checking

Boise is on 121
Spokane/Couer D'Alene is split between 110/148
Idaho Falls is on 148
Salt Lake City is split on 119/148
Twin Falls is not available yet

and http://ekb.dbstalk.com/19

So it looks like you might need 2 dishes.....Boise would be Superdish
