Will this work if I "move"?

Whoa 22 is all you have on your main locals?Is it storming there or is that your normal signal?

Also on the first screen shot did you leave the signal meter on for a few minutes?Somtimes they take a minute or so to get a lock.

What about the other Montana markets? Do they all air the local teams instead of the national network games?

that wont work. All the ABC stations in Montana are owned by same folks (Max Media) so its on all the ABC stations in MT

Ouch. There is always the possibility of getting at the CONUS locals on eastrern arc (which would aim the OP at the 61.5, 72 and 77 satellites), but that can be complicated and probably temporary if the new satellite ever gets off the ground.

Can't tell for sure being on my tablet, looks like he would be in the spot beam for Casper,WY , but those are in SD too.

No, that wasnt my locals. I get 58 on that.

 

[Mr Tony]

I hate to say it but you are in an area that the only spotbeam that reaches you is your locals only

That's just goofy showing 119 Wrong Sat. I'd have bet that you would get the ND channels.

As a comparison, look at the Omaha spotbeam HERE. I am well outside the red line and this is my DMA!

If your locals on are sat 129 transponder 13 then your signal strength is 22.

I have had the meter get stuck like that before,showing wrong sat,that's why I asked if the op left the meter on that transponder for a few minutes just to be certain.

If 22 is your max signal it better be snowing heavily outside...otherwise you're going to lose signal when it starts drizzlin.

 

[TheKrell]

Yeah 22 is pretty marginal and you'll lose lock in a heavy overcast. But in clear weather it should work. Recommend trying it and see if you can stand it. Otherwise, a larger dish pan could bring up the SS...

I finally made the "move". Picture looks great so far. We'll see what happens once the snow starts falling.
