Locals in Indiana

[jlahmeyer]

Okay I am using 65.5, 72 and 77 sats. I live in Richmond, Indiana and am thinking on "moving". I need locals after "moving" what choices do I have in this area using these sats and spot beam.

You will probably want Cincinnati on 77 or Louisville on 77. Use can use an antenna and also receive Dayton in Richmond.

You are in the Dayton, OH DMA if you are actually in Richmond, IN. Your locals would be on 129, as are Indianapolis. If you have the Eastern Arc (61.5, 72, 77) as you say, you are receiving no locals today. Perhaps, if you were to move the Western Arc (110, 119, 129) you would have a few more choices. What are you really trying to accomplish by 'moving'?

Trying to get Indy locals would be my guess, but he'd have to switch to WA, which surprises me that he already isn't.

Depending on which map he looks at he is either in Dayton or Indianapolis. It used to be Dayton but I believe it changed to Indianapolis. It should be Dayton, as it can be received over the air there.

Wiki says he is in Dayton.... Comcast has Dayton stations... City Data says Dayton....

Looking at Dish, it shows Indianapolis. DirecTV shows Indianapolis or Cincinnati depending on the area code....

Richmond Indiana is in the Dayton TV market, always has been (at least since I started paying attention in 1978)

Yet when I bring up the 2 zip codes for Richmond, Indiana on the Dish website, it show Indianapolis for both... Mind you, I agree with you, it should be Dayton. Of course there is always that argument about "why can't I see the news from my own State."

 

[TNGTony]

I stand corrected! Wayne County (Richmond, IN) moved from the Dayton DMA to the Indianapolis DMA in 2011.

I have no locals. My installer put me on EA because WA had a tree in the way and I wanted HD channels.

 

[Bobby]

Cincinnati would work well for you, at least until it goes to a spot beam.... Maybe even then....

Okay, thank you Bobby!

Or you could check to see if you have line of sight for the sat that has your HD locals and add it to your current setup using a wing dish.
