Spotbeam Help

[kevinsickles]

I live in Westchester NY (10543) and I "moved" to Boston, NESN HD Rocks!,
Now with the move of Boston Local HD to spotbeam 61.5 tp 5 spotbeam for Boston, the signal is very weak. Hovers around 10 all transponders I checked, 25, and others are all in the 50's, I tried tweaking the dish and couldn't get any higher.

Am I out of luck or do I just suck at aligning the dish?
I hope the latter!
Thank you
Kevin

You're very near the fringe of Spotbeam 2. If everything else is wonderful (50+), I'd say your SOL for the existing dish.

Would a different dish (I have a 500?) help?
Thank you

If you are getting some signal, it is possible a larger dish could tune it. Problem is that you would probably have to rig up a 36" dish if you already have a 24" in place, and there is no way to tell for sure if it would work. If you have $100 to spend you could try it, you may just end up with a very strong 61.5 signal but still no Boston locals.
