Thanks, but I did try that and it did not work.

:( Has any one had this problem with dish 500 with a model 4500 receiver. I have a good signal and I receive the program information and can cycle thru the channels but I have no actual program video or audio just a blank screen, if I hit info the information comes up. Could my receiver be...

Is 250 miles from the edge of a spotbeam too far to receive it. Looking at the spotbeam 26 coverage map there is one that touches northern arizona. That is about 250 mile from where I am trying to receive it. Thanks for your input

I loked at the spotbeam 26 map and it looks like the closest one is on the northen edge of arizona. Looks like its about 250 mi away. Thanks for the input.

Yeh, that was supposed to say BOSTON locals on spotbeam 26

I also have been trying to receive spot beam 26 in the Phoenix area to get the Boaton locals. It seens I can get no higher than 40% signal strength on spot 26. Does this mean that there is a chance using a larger dish to increase the gain. I am tempted to buy the fortec 36" dish and see if that...

Thanks, If I was to purchase a larger dish like the fortec 36" or the winegard 1m dish can I use the LNB'S from my Dish 500 or would I be better off buying a new LNB.

Is it possible to recieve spotbeam 26 on sat 110 in the South east of Phoenix area when traveling in my RV. Looking at spotbeam 26 map coverage the edge appears to only go as far as northern Arizona. I can only get about 20% signal strength now. Would a larger 1 meter dish help.

:confused: Is it possible to receive spotbeam 26 on sat 110 in the southeast Phoenix area. Looking at the map the coverage extends only to northen Arizona. Would a 1 meter dish help. I can get only a 20 - 30 % signal strength right now.

What is the typical spotbeam footprint radius for local stations on sat 110.
