Tailgating help for a true beginner

[PSUHusky]

140 miles driving....I would say drawing a straight line on a map about 90-100 miles.

I didn't set up my account yet, so I have no idea what sat my locals are on. Is there a place I can go to find out?

It looks like for my zip code (Reading) it says Philly channels and in State College it says Johnstown/Altoona channels.

I don't know what I take from that.

Look in here, your info will be there:

I think your best bet for your locals would be to go with the D* delivered locals and take your rec'r and see what happens when you get there, you won't get your locals that far with a OTA antenna.

Ok it looks like my locals from Reading come in on network 658.. satellite: SATs@101W while the State College locals are network 608 and satellite is D1R@73W. Hopefully i took the right info there.

Haha No idea what that means though if you can translate.

I don't care about my Philly locals....I just want to make sure I can pick up the games on the networks (abs, cbs, nbc...) whether it's with my locals or State College's.

I would bet that you'd get yours in State College. I've gotten mine (Cincinnati) about 180 miles south at Lake Cumberland.

I'm hoping so Cincy. I'm going to use a Phase 3 dish. I'm not sure if that will be able to pick it up or not, but if you're picking it up 180 miles away for a major market I guess there's hope for me picking up Philly.
