My bad... I read the last part and thought you said the SD's were at 110.

Anyone having results with the Houston HD locals via spotbeam in College Station?
Of course one would have to "move" to receive this service. Currently HD locals are not available in Waco-Bryan DMA and are just about impossible to receive OTA in College Station other than CBS (KBTX), PBS (KAMU), and FOX (KYLE) with an antenna pointed in a perfect direction.

why don't you just check the signal strength on transponder 4 from 110 degrees?

then you don't have to depend on what others might say but you can check for yourself.
