Thanks Doc

Is this dish at all useful for Direct TV? It is a three LNB unit with 4 receiver outputs. Thanks for info.

Thanks Iceberg

Can't seem to find this anywhere ? Does anyone know what transponders are the spotbeams for these locals? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

What level did you get before the switch to E16?

Are all the spotbeam numbers different than the present lists for Echo 16? Are the Satmaps now incorrect for the spotbeams for this Sat?

Is Echostar 12 still active? What is it being used for?

When Echostar 16 finally gets launched will this help my situation? Spotbeam 54 looks like it should get here fine

OK thanks for that . Will Echo 12 still be used?

Will all 61.5 content be moved to Echo 16? or will there be two sats covering 61.5? Kind of a strange question but what is the reason for the new sat?

If you are already getting signals on your receiver, go into setup, point dish, set to satellite 72.5 transponder 21 , tweak dish slowly to peak. Do both azmuth and elevation . When you have the highest reading switch to 61.5 transponder 29 tweak slightly to peak . Go baxk to 72.5 and make sure...

There is no need to get a new dish just point using 72.5 and you should be fine . You could further peak 61.5 and just ignore 77. I think the new dish is smaller so would not improve things for you.

Thanks for that Rob. Never considered that it was another spotbeam. That makes more sense.

I am amazed that you get that high a signal where you are. The spot beam doesn't even get close to you unless the maps on this site are totally wrong. I think someone sid they were wrong but does anyone know the approximate coverage?

I used dishpointer and have good readings except TP13 Are you as far north as Montreal?
