*sigh* my god, call the RAPID CITY DIRECTV OFFICE and ask them what SAT they were using or currently using.. bc like i said, they were a ONE DISH MARKET (west river) while east river (Sioux falls) was a TWO dish market til the digital transaction took over. now the east river is now a one dish market on a slimline 5LNB dish.
i dont know why this is confusing but that is how they were set up.. directv told them and trained them this way. 102... 102.. 102...
a guy i worked side by side for a long time moved to spearfish (practically north of rapid city) and told me he is to lock his dishes at 102 sat.
ive never EXPERINCED this.. he did and told me.
