Odd, but I am also locked on 121 and 148. I have no idea what they are doing there.

Thanks again. That verifies that should be getting the locals with just 61.5 and 72. That is what Dish told me.



I don't know what to say about 121 and 148!

Right. And the same with 77 on the eastern arc.

A quick search of the Lyngsat uplink reports shows the only LA local found on either Eastern Arc bird is KLTA, which appears to be the CW affiliate.

It seems if you want to get normal local affiliates for ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX, you'll need to either change your service area to where you're located for spotbeam coverage or change your locals to NYC for CONUS Eastern Arc coverage.

A quick search of our last trip out west shows we had LA channels for ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox, no CW, everywhere west of the Mississippi River from the Canadian Border to the Mexican border. East of the Mississippi we had New York. Chuck
